That 52,000 miler that was up for £12,999 disappeared from the ads when I looked this morning, but is now up for sale at a dealers at £13,999. Wondered if he took less than £13K or they are selling it on his behalf ??

Sure it's the same one? The previous private ad didn't mention sat nav. Or did it - can't remember actually. with the same colour and mileage it certainly sounds likek the same one.

Could be different, just seems odd that the two previous privte ads (one on here and one on autotrader) have both disappeared........if he has sold it to a dealer he must have taken peanuts for it.

Thats only 16% gross margin. Take off a service, 4 Tyres, Network Q, prep, salesmans bonus and they might make 8% - doesnt seem unreasonable...
