    Quick one for you guys. Maybe someone in the trade could answer this one. When a dealer is buying a car at trade price, how much of a discount does he get. For example, if a dealer has a car for sale for say 8000 euro would it be reasonable to assume he bought it for 6500 or 7000. I know its a hard one to answer because of lots of variables but a rough figure will do:confused:

    They would certainly have to have a fair margin, after all they are going to be providing warranty on it and prepare it which all have to be covered together with overheads and profit.
    The advertised price will often have additional added on to make the trade in value of the old car look better too so very hard to say what the figures would be

    Too many variables, way too many.
