If the car is £13995 and they are offering £3000 for your ZS, tell them you can only go to £10000 + your ZS. Tell them it doesn't matter if they give you more for your car, knock money off the Leon, or a combination of both. Make it clear your maximum price is £10000 + your car and then make it clear you'll only buy it if it is serviced properly and taxed.
They will probably tell you that they can't do that, at which point you say you may have to look elsewhere then, which is a shame as you have the money burning a hole in your pocket and you really want THIS car
They want your money more than you want that specific Leon. There are plenty of other Leons out there, but there aren't that many people with £10000 in their pocket and a nice car to trade in. Remember that, remember that you don't have to worry about upsetting the dealer and stick to your guns
If you can wait till the end of February you will get what you want and more. That is statistically the best time to buy any car. The stealers will kill themselevs for a deal then. I have always gone into the stealers hard and strong, remember you are the customer they are the sales people the louder and stonger you argue your case the longer they will listen and will want to gain your custom. The customer isnt always right but when buying a car you have to be the one holding the reigns. Be very very blatent and show that you know what you are talking about, do not at any costs allow the stealers to waffle about stuff, show them you have mettle and you will stick to your guns! Wow thats a big waffle from me!Hi,
I'm in need of some advice
I’ve been offered a 55reg Platinum Grey LCR with 9,000 miles on the clock for £13,995. It will come with left over warrantee and has the factory fitted Sat Nav option (which was apparently a £1500).
I have been offered £3000 to trade my 52reg Fiesta Zetec-S (immaculate condition, 59,000 miles) against the Leon. I think if I sold it privately I would only get £3800 and it needs a service in 1,000 miles, new pads, disks and the tax runs out in FEB.
I'm a little concerned that the prices of LCRs might plummet once the new Cupra is released and was wondering what you guy's thought???
Do you think a 55reg LCR is worth £14,000???
Also, if I purchase the car should I ask that it be serviced before I pick it up as no doubt it will be due one after a further 1,000 miles?
I’ve not seen the car yet but providing its in good condition do you think I would be a fool to turn down the offer?
Thanks
Alex
I really wish they did the LC blue on the LCR. I so would have bought that colour
