Savings on a 171 in July

tonic wine

Has anyone past experience of buying pre reg'd cars?

A lot of dealers will pre reg cars 171 at the end of the quarter, that will look to shift them in July.

What savings can someone expect from the listed price? I have heard 10% in most cases, and even up to 20% in some cases that was in an article in the paper.

It depends hugely on the car itself.

Be wary of what the "pre reg" mileage is. It may not be a pre reg but just coming back off the hire or courtesy fleet it if has a couple of thousand kms on it.

I guess if you buying out right, without finance, then you might strike a good deal on 171, but if you plan financing, it will be worae then brand new.
171 pre reg will go as used car with high apr, wheres a lot of bramd new cars can be gotten with zero apr or very very low one.

Would these companies not prefer to sell the car on finance?  As well as selling the car, they are making % profit on the finance rather then having huge amounts of money sitting in their bank earning a tiny percentage.
On PCP, they have a returning customer in 3 years time, with the possibility or making another new purchase.

The cars i'm looking at are A6, Superb, E-class, 5 series.

Yes, but manufacturers will often have finance deals with low APRs to encourage new sales
