Dealer changing price

Last week it was £10,995 and today up £1000. I assume it is one of the well known tricks of little interest and putting the price up actually stimulates interest?

Still interested in it though but certainly at the lower price!

Looks like a dodgy trader rather than a dealer...

Quick! Get it before it goes to £13K!

Maybe last week the price was wrong and someone has only just noticed and fixed the text on the website?

They can change the price as often as they want and can sell it for any price they want.

Well, you know he'll at least drop to £10,995 and probably a bit more.

Was definitely on for £10,995 as I asked him about it but have not been able to follow it up as I have been away for a week.

I bet if you call them they will let you have it at the old price with no further negotiation....

Spoke to him today but had not noticed the price had gone up until I went back to look at the pictures later on. I want to p/x my car but can't get up for 10 days so not setting my sights on it too much as it may have gone by the time I can make it there.

I know that pitch. Same dealer (under the previous name of 'wheely chap motors') once had a car that came 2nd in BarryBoys 'Shed of the Year' on their forecourt. What's that Latin phrase meaning 'buyer beware' again ?

Indeed.

Amazing number of 5-6-7 year old cars with low mileages...

Cough haircut cough.

True and I know any car is susceptible to it and this may be no exception to the rule. On the flip side, it may be used as a weekend cruiser and therefore miles kept low.

An HPI check linked with MOT and Service History paperwork may provide some reassurance.

from someone who used to work in a place that sold high priced goods as a student.

I can tell you that come the weekend the price would go from £6000 up to £8000

then they would have a 10% weekend and put it up from £6000 to £10000

although most companies are up to theses tricks in these recession hit times

I be forward and ask him about the price. If he had it listed for the cheaper price then he;d either priced it wrong or thats the price he was prepared to accept

Strange in the photo it has 10.995.

Surely he would know when taking the photo.

4.4 would be less desirable, even so it's still worth that.

Seems that the search for a large engined, Spanish car continues!

Might just get another Z4 instead.
