Peugeot buy back

nickcc

Looking for a newish Peugeot 308 from local Peugeot dealer and noticed most of their stock were registered in Northampton. Cars are one to two years old with mileage between 11,000 and 15,000 miles. The dealer is based about 300 miles from Northampton and has five locations covering an area of about 50 miles. I suspect that these cars (30 plus) are either ex rental, lease or guaranteed Peugeot buy back, is there anyway of finding out if this is the case as I have no wish to buy a one owner car that's had many different drivers.
Would prefer to know the truth before approaching the dealer

Thanks

Check the registration document. And some detective work as the vehicles maybe listed under another name.

So it may not be listed under " Thrashed to death and never serviced hire car company limited"

But maybe ABCDEFG limited.

With those miles, probably ex rental.

I suspect you cant have your cake and eat it on this. You can either have cheap, but ex rental or ex demo but more expensive.

My Golf diesel was ex rental and i got it from a main VW dealer. I got it at 9 months old and 13,000 miles. Mint in every way. Watched it coming off the transporter like that, so not "minted up". Got it for £12,400. New, they're £20K.

Ex demos were considerably more.

Book price for Franchised dealer is £9150 so £10500 is not what I'd call cheap, admittedly mileage is 5000 lower but still overpriced for an ex rental (if this is the case).

Where are you getting book price from? They are after all, only guides.

Why are they over priced?

Franchised dealers tend to get the cleanest ex rentals, non franchised dealers get the ones that need a little tidying.
