10% or 12% discount

strongdeo · 12-01-2008, 11:48 AM

I am looking at pressing the trigger on a new 330d MSport.

Best discount from a physical dealer I can get is a straight 10%. Best discount from an internet broker like Coast2coast is 12% and I think that is pushing it at the moment.

When you crunch the numbers is there really any difference? The broker will charge £300+vat admin fee ie £345. In addition to that the broker has no facilities to give a decent trade-in allowance for my car.

What do you reckon?

If you're happy with the 10% and depreciation shown below then go for it!

Part exchange offers for my 645ci convertible 54 plate - October 2004
I am getting crazy lower offers from £15k to £18K - although I did have one dealer offer £20K.

how much was it new? 60k? Pre-facelift.

Lovely car mate anyhow. I do like them.

Sadly the dealer won't give you a good trade in either, but right now shifting your car privately won't be a good option, so I'd suggest that you take the 10% and as close to book as possible for your old car.

The what car depreciation index as above is off the mark, since 2 year old cars are selling for 3 year old money right now. Having said that, you've got to hope that values will have recovered by laste 2010 or the economy will be so broken that we will all be living in the street.

I predict a false raise in the economy in the 3rd quarter of next year, only for it to fall again by the end and fall even further.
