    Hi.
    I'm sure this question has been asked and answered here before now, but can somebody tell me how the trade-in price 'system' of buying a car operates as opposed to buying straight from the garage. I was of the opinion that if a car was advertised at say, €10,000 and I was trading in a car worth say, €1,000 that I would have to pay €9,000 along with the vehicle I'm trading in to buy the car that's priced at €10,000. However, it seems that if I wanted to buy the €10,000 car, I would have to pay more than what I'm being allowed on my old vehicle.

    Thanks.

    The garage just want a straight sale basically! It costs them time and money to sell your car and this is incentive for you to sell your car and go to the for a straight sale!

    The straight deal price includes a discount for having no trade-in. If you introduce a trade-in then you trading in against the pre straight deal discount price or trade-in price.
