Guarantee of trade in value

[truck71]

Ordering a car for my parents today which involves a trade in, car likely to be 6 weeks to delivery. The trade in represents 20% of the cost, how can I ensure the trade in offer isn't reneged on at the time of transaction? Do I simply get that in writing stating it won't change?

6 weeks isn't too long they should be able to give you a firm PX price. Sometimes we'd give people a minimum, but review at the time, it'd also give them an opportunity to sell privately if they wished.
