Dealer rang wants my car?

Firblog

I've a 152 Leaf SVE, the dealership I go to for services / issues rang today saying that he has someone who want to buy a 15 Leaf and would I be interested in trading? I said no harm in having a chat about it so sales guy is going to call me to talk.

What kinda trade in value should I be looking for? (My car 120K, has lost a bar) they have 2 leafs there, 2019 @ €24K & 2020 @ €27K,

I'm not terribly pushed on selling, but with the cold weather it might be nice to have a bit more range in the battery

Are those Leafs 62kWh editions? If not you can get a 64kWh Kona for that price range

.42.

8-9k I would think.

This is an old trick.

Stir up 2 sales.

Aye, was thinking there might be some of that alright :D, but he's hardly looking for an old leaf without having someone to take it off his hands? is there much demand for them?

If he's lucky, they're retailing for that money, salesman needs to get his slice too.

0% interest on new Leaf having a knock on effect on secondhand market. The increase in fuel prices may fuel demand in the new year.

Cheapest 15 SVE I could see from a dealer on carzone was 11K, 2 or 3K margin? nice money if you can get it..

This dealer seems to be looking for older leafs too

Also check the price of what you are looking to replace it with and if going the new route see how many months of a lead time there may be before it arrives here.

Any update here?

Remember you don't need to trade in or sell to dealer.

Its also possible to sell your car to the dealer if he really wants it badly enough - and buy the replacement elsewhere.

In my opinion the post 2018 Leafs are overpriced both new and 2nd hand vs what the competition gives you.

I didn't even look at them when shopping during the summer

Offered 8K against one of his 2nd hand leafs.. no deal.

€8k for your car if you bought one of the 2nd hand Leafs going for €24k? You're right, not exactly the deal of the century considering there's Leaf40s going for about €2k less last I checked

You could sell privately for €8k and get one of those and pocket yourself a couple of grand. That's if you're interested in trading to a newer car

I've never heard of this happening. Probably because I've never had a desirable car!

There is a problem with second hand cars I believe and prices have jumped.

Happened me

Only really heard of it when you service the car there or it's fairly new.
