that ain't true tho, Chiefsilverback traded his car for a Clio and the garage gave him a car and £1000 cos his was worth more than the Clio he bought.

well obviousley if ur tradin for a cheaper car there not goin to expect money are they


lol, so the point was that differance between the trade in and the window price is largely irrelevant. Garage should offer a minimum of whatever they can shift the p/ex for, anything above that eats in to the margin on the sale car.

So... if glass's says £12k for an LCR, the dealer 'should' be able to get it underwritten for that much, so it's as good as £12k cash to them. Window price of the sale vehicle is irrelevant to the basic p/ex value.
