Bca ml250 valuation

Hi,

I recently bought a car from BCA via a dealer. Actually i paid a dealer to buy me a specific car from BCA. However i think the price told me that the car sold is a little expensive. What is the highest price can get an ML250 AMG with 21000 miles, July 2014, colour palladium silver and some extra options such as running boards, heated seats, comand system. Also the car was grade 1. The glass valuation for retailer price shows 30030 pounds and trade in excellent 25770.

Thanks in advance:)

  • Why didn't you just got to BCA and buy it yourself?
  • Isn't it a bit late to be complaining about the price if you've already bought the car?

    ask to see the bca receipt. If the OPs post is legit he may have used a car buying service( who add a %age on to hammer price) which can work out cheaper than paying fees as a private buyer.

    The markup by the seller is nothing compared to the bills coming.

    Depreciate? Do they depreciate? surely not its a Merc :)

    Im puzzled why they didnt put a slot into the top to poke your money into it. Empty your wallet here...

    A show on TV about moneysaving had a couple with an ML and a dealer was saying how badly they depreciate and how he wouldnt want the car, but saying that at £5k or £6k it would be worth a gamble, this didnt go well with the couple that have spent around £20k for it 3 months previously.

    OP probably lost another £500 in the time it took to post this.

    You need to bear in mind that the dealer has to pay fees on top of the hammer price and this can be a lot unless you are a top grade buyer. Also if he's boughtn it, it will show on his BCA account and therefore he tax return so he'll probably want to add a markup unless you agreed otherwise.
