Dealers Trade sales

terry · 4th November 2006, 20:49

I see Trade Sales in Slough have some of the latest Civics, which is a bit surprising as they usually get the old run out models cheap. If a batch of used cars came on the market at a good price I would have expected the dealers to want them.

I reckon about a grand cheaper than a dealer. I believe the car supermarkets aim for about £500 profit on their cars, which fits with main dealers aiming for at least £1500. No haggling though, and what you see is what you get.

Now if they had a Champagne Silver ES I would go there.

now now mr basegreen, just remember the dealers need to make a bit of profit, and pay the vat man and be able to offer demonstrations (car,fuel,and insurance) and have warm/cool showrooms and employ friendly staff.
