Hi

Was wondering if any of you guys n gals out there had sold your cars through 'sale or return' dealers ? Dont want the stress of private sale, so seems like a good option but a bit worried about leaving the car with smaller Independent dealers...

Any feedback would be really welcome.

car is a Boxster, based in London so MK not too far.

Just wondered if any other PHers had used an independent that was trustworthy etc etc.
Did you get a written contract ? Was car insured by the dealer ? If you have experience please e/m me if you dont want to mention names on here, I would be very grateful.

Sorry to cast doubt on any of you dealer types . Just worried about insurance, not getting paid etc etc. Am I just being too paranoid.....

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all for your posts.
I do want an easy life selling my car, but don’t want to take such a huge hit on the price. So SOR points to a win-win for all parties, but my big dilemma is - who are the reputable dealers that have delivered on their promise, who are the ones to avoid.

If that is beyond the scope of the forum (i.e. you cant publicly name good and bad) please drop me an email if you can.

Thanks again.

Thanks for all your input, and K996 thanks for your email. I had no idea I would get so much feedback.

Hopefully I'll be able to find a reputable dealer who will offer a genuine SOR. I need to keep as much cash to fund the next 4 wheeled toy

Now on that point, what can you guys recommend for an about to become dad - has to be 4 seats and soft-top, and fast (but not when the baby is on board) .....
