Buying my bother-in-law's car. Please help
Discussion
The one thing I have learnt when buying my last 2 Astons is - don't buy the first one you see.
You need to look around and compare cars before agreeing to BiL's car - there are plenty out there and better to wait and get one in the exact spec you want rather than what he is "trying to shift onto you".
Good luck either way

Strange mentality that of a member of your family trying to earn money on your back.
I would tell him you are prepared to match whatever he gets from the dealer in part exchange.
He should be satisfied with that, anything more you are better off buying his car from the dealer with a warranty.
Or contact the dealer and tell them you would be interested to buy it from them if they take a reduced margin and give you a warranty.
They sell a new car, they can flip the part exchanged one instantly with no advertising, everyone has got a good deal.

That's the way to do it!I would tell him you are prepared to match whatever he gets from the dealer in part exchange.

Bravo CSK1!
Just one other view:
From his perspective a trade in is zero hassle, no comeback, no dirty looks at family dinners if it dies the day after it is sold.
For the same money I would trade rather than sell to friends or family unless we had a very open chat about what happens if it breaks first.

I'll miss her that's for sure, I've got the blue one still so all is not lost.
I've not had an all black interior on an AM as yet and hopefully can keep that run going. If the new owner is on here, then well done. All I know is it went to a private buyer who currently has a NP Vanquish.

Oh it's your old car Nick?
Someone has a bargain as the car wants for absolutely nothing. What I didn't do (very little) Dave has done.
That said I do think the dealers are being very optimistic. It seems the prices being asked are more suited to the uber low mileage cars which seem to be the ones the collectors want.
