So looking at that car (link). What would you say is the maximum YOU would pay.

Adtmitts

Its about what they give you for yours thought mate, not the headline price.....

Being realistic, I reckon they wont drop below £11k for the Scooby...retail wise it probably a fair price, so then its what they are offering for the ST? 3 owners on ST shouldnt be an issue.

SeanS

I thought he was giving me a good price. But at the end of the day its all about the % and APR rate of lows which these days aint cheap.

Adtmitts

I suspect the borrowing will be fairly reasonable. If your happy, like I say you will clear it quite quickly.

Just going on Parkers it is overpriced.

It would be worth scanning through the ads on this forum to see what the going rate is. Obviously you'll pay a slight premium for the security and trade in facilities by buying from a dealer.

SeanS

a still want this car lol

Pink_Floyd

Have you scanned the ads etc to get a price comparison? I appreciate you have your trade-in, and I don't want to get into the financials again However the world is your oyster with these cars at the minute.

SeanS

got the price down by 1200 on it

Pink_Floyd

Well if you're are happy with your trade in etc, I'd go for it subject to inspection and test drive. Do you know who serviced it? If it has been a known independent they'll most likely be happy to chat about the car with you

SeanS

yeh checked today n everything checked out spot on

Pink_Floyd

Get down and test drive it then If you ask about there might be a member willing to meet you there and give it the once over as well.

SeanS

never thought of that. good idea mate

Pink_Floyd

Bet you didn't sleep last night thinking about this car

SeanS

A Dont sleep any night thinking about it. But the salesman isnt getting back to me.

He has till the end of today, failing that a will cancel my interest in the car.

Pink_Floyd

The thing is if you've already thrashed out the deal is it not a case of just nipping down to sign and collect etc?

SeanS

A got all the figures and stuff, he's just not came back to me now. Sent 2 emails and 2 phone calls. arrggh lol

Pink_Floyd

You'd think in the current climate he'd be biting your hand off. Unless he has a cash buyer? Maybe leaving a message saying you want to buy subject to viewing, but if he doesn't get back to you by close of business today you'll be leaving it.

SeanS

Yeah i said that in the last email basically. Has until 5 today.

Am in no rush to sell the ST and she can stay till next summer

Pink_Floyd

Fair play buddy, a lot of people would be rushed into it blinded by a new motor.

SeanS

Been there so many times in the past lol. Am holding out.

Pink_Floyd

Any news bud?

SeanS

Not a thing lol.....am raging

Pink_Floyd

I can't fathom these folk out sometimes.........

SeanS

Ano, so the search goes on lol.

Am in work the now, but if your not busy mate feel free to send me some links of dealers selling STi's of between 10k - £12k lol.

Adtmitts

Strange mate, especially given how long it has been for sale, it is definitely the same car.

At 10300 its a good deal too I would say.

Pink_Floyd

Pink_Floyd

Well what's your budget? There is no shortage of cars mate, just finding the right one. If you spot one local to me (Dundee) I'll have a nosey at it for you if it helps.

SeanS

ian grieve falkirk have a blue one in

Adtmitts

Is the other one dead in the water then mate?

Does it have to be a PPP? there doesnt seem to a be a great number of PPPs around at the moment when I had a scan the other day.
