Cazoo added a PX onto my order and I didn’t have one

There is no way Cazoo or any other dealer for that matter would do a px with only a couple of hundred pound differential and they most certainly wont dispatch a vehicle without full payment upfront

But there are plenty of occasions where dealers accept trade-ins at higher values than the new purchase - it's not that uncommon where personal circumstances have changed

And you have proof of this?, i have PXd many cars over the years and never come across and dealer taking in a vehicle at a higher cost that the one they are sell especially in the second hand market. Always happy to be proved wrong with facts

If you've always traded in an older car for a newer one then you won't have personal experience of your part ex being more "valuable" than the car you are buying.  However given that car dealers will buy a car for stock without selling you another one it's obvious that they will also buy in a part ex that's worth more than the car they're selling if they can turn a potential profit on the whole deal - it happens a fair bit in the prestige "boy's toys" market ie buys a Lamborghini or similar then decides that "driving a super fast tractor with rock hard suspension while peering out through a letter box" is not for them and goes back to something a little more practical.

What factual proof are you citing in support of your own assertion?  Limited personal experience can hardly be assumed to be representative....

Yes - personal experience that 2 of my last 3 transactions have been to lower value vehicles with cash back to me as part of the deal from the retailer. A lot depends on the car and it's value - my 2 were desirable, well-specced premium brands where what I was buying was similar but a smaller version - not specific but assume Audi S5 to Audi S3 for example

Agree it's unlikely that someone is trading in a Mondeo for a Vectra and getting cash back in the deal - unless they're downtrading for financial reasons

Dealers are desperate for decent stock at the moment. So taking a car of higher value will be something they will be more than happy to do.
Just the same as they are more than happy to bid to buy a car direct from you for cash. Motorway etc

I have traded a more expensive car in to buy 2 cheaper cars, Dealer makes money on the PX so it doesnt matter what its value is in relation to the car you are buying
