Discout

If you were purchasing a 2nd hand car from a garage without having a trade-in what sort of discount if any would you expect from a circa £15,000 car?

[Cyder]

Could do with a bit more info on the car in the question, such as age, type, marque etc.

It's a bit vague to even make a stab at currently!

[BE57 TOY]

Depends what the car is worth?

Is it the cheapest in the country, is it the most expensive, is it the best condition locally or the worst?

Etc etc.

I don't think its reasonable to expect a discount "just because"

Seems a little low. I calculate closer to £404

I'm buying my next car from you, that's about £371 more than I got off my last car!

Identify comparable's, work out what you are willing to pay and talk.

There is no fixed discount.

There may be no room to discount.

At least 10%. Even more if you can claim the VAT back.

[Butter Face]

26.7%

Not sure why.

Cant claim back the VAT so ideally looking for one without but not easy

This.

You know there isn't actually a rule book about X discount for Y price, right? It's a *bit* more complicated than that and subject to a lot of variables.

Jeez Butter, that's cutting my margin back to less than 25%.

Aaaahm ouuut.

No way, I'd go for at least this.

I did state in my 1st post that there may be no discount available, just looking for a ball park figure ideally from anybody with recent experiance
