Trade In Booster

eorpach

Can somebody tell me if I understand the idea of a manufacturer’s trade in booster offer correctly:

A 2nd Hand Car is quoted by a Dealer as worth €5,000
The Manufacturer’s Trade In Booster on a specific new car model is quoted as €1,500

Does this mean the Retail Price of the new car drops by €6,500?

(Assuming the same dealer is selling the new one and buying the second hand one)

OR

Is the €1,500 Trade In Booster just a guaranteed minimum value for the second hand car when buying the new car?

Thanks.

Just saw your comment from 2018.

As you've probably learnt .... A trade-in booster is just a bullshit trade selling booster, trying 2get people in the showroom doors.

They will reduce the real value of your 2nd hand car by the booster amount, & try to make-out their doing you a favour.

Most people buying a new car have a car to trade-in. A "full cash" or 'full/near full finance" purchase is a rarity.

Never say your buying for cash - always say finance & endure the 20 to 30min bullshit chat with the friendly Dealership Finance "Arranger".

Never tell them what colour your after or model.

Tell them sfa.

Your the buyer, you take command. If asked personal ?'s I.e. Will you be requiring finance, just say that's a bit of an intrusive ?.

When you visit any dealership (even from years previous) they have HARVESTED INFO on U.

After you purchase the car at the deal you want, email ALL garages you visited insisting ALL info re your visit, even your email address, is deleted & insist on confirmation ..... via email.

That sounds like an exhausting way to live.
