Now I traded this car in a few days ago and got £7900 for it.

Why the hell would anyone pay that price when you can get a new one cheaper per month, with a full 12 month warranty and free insurance.

BTW the car is crap, underpowered and as steady as a goat in rollerskates

£1500 profit doesn't seem out of line to me.
A new one lists at £12k, this one will go for around £9500 with a bit of haggling..

Don't see the problem with that personally. You don't expect them to make any money?!

You obviously got what you were happy with so why let it worry you.

No I never bought a car from them I bought one from a main dealer. My point is the trade value was £7900 with "ooh we cant offer any discount on ours" and FOW are selling on for a profit. Nothing wrong with that.

Its just when someone goes to FOW to haggle and try and get the car for £9500 the first thing out of the salesmans mouth will be "we dont have that much in the car to play with, we sell on low margin here and move volumes"

I dont mind people making a profit - It just the bullst they say to do it

Because they rely on those that aren't very clued up

They'll dress it up with a warranty even though it's still under a VW one, which a lot of people fall for

if this is straight then looks a decent buy

If you didn't have a problem with a dealership making a profit on your car you wouldn't have been sufficiently moved to start a thread about it. ffs.
