Pre registered cars - who pays the VAT

jonny_watson

motorguy, broadspeed is very useful indeed. The rrp, for the model I'm interested in, is £17,555, the broadspeed suggested price (inc fee) is £14,965. The price from my local Vaxuhall dealer is £12k. So therefore I think it's fair to say we're in 'heavily discounted' territory (I think the time of year may have helped).

I've had confirmation that the lifetime warranty applies to me (despite me being the 2nd owner) but if I sell on it's no longer valid to the buyer (which makes sense).

And I am planning to have the car for a while (like 5 years).

So overall I'm happy that this is a good purchase (apart from a car almost always being a depreciating asset, and certainly in this case). Thanks for all the comments and assistance!

Excellent.

The one final check i'd do is to see what other dealers are offering the same car at. Try autotrader.co.uk.

Sounds like a good deal though! :beer:
