Trade purchase of Supercar - jiggyjaggy - 17-11-2012 07:15pm
Hi guys looking to buy a Fairly conservative Supercar tomorrow and I have made the dealership an offer. They have agreed on my price on the basis that they can put it through as a trade sale.
Does this affect my purchase anyway or are they simply doing it to save tax therefore enabling to accept my lower offer?

trade sale would be no warranty given, no statutory rights as a private buyer....Pretty much sold as seen....
i wouldn't touch it , seems strange thing for a dealership to offer

They only offered that in order to match my price or so I thought. Surely I have no comebacks in any case if I buy the car and something goes wrong as it is a used car in any case??

Avoid, this car will have problems that the trader is trying to avoid putting right. It's a know trick in the trade.

I think I better go down the route to offer the same amount as a retail offer, with no trade element at all. Irrespective they are placing a 12 month MOT on the car, which gives some comfort. Thanks for the advice guys.

An MOT means nothing, they can have an in-house writer of MOT forms............... an MOT only says that the car complies with the law on the day it was tested, nothing more. If something is too much of a bargain to be true, it usually ends up with lots of tears and disappointment.

I have stated that I would be happy to buy the car in the usual retail manner at the same price I offered yesterday. Lets see what they say.
Its not ridiculously cheap...

Despite what has been posted up there ^^
buying from a dealer at all, no matter how they try to deny it, you have your statutory rights, including a warranty period (I think 3 months is the minimum).
It most certainly is not treated the same as a private sale. I would also imagine the dealer would get in serious trouble trying to circumvent his liabilities buy calling the sale 'trade'.

Having spoken to the dealer, they are happy to process the sale as a normal retail sale at £500 more than their trade figure, which is still below the figure I wanted to hit, so I am content with this. In addition they have agreed to a new MOT, 12 months Warranty and 2 new Alloys and tyres on the front corners.
