Dealers still struggling? - parthiban - 13-03-2018
Got a call from my Lexus dealer earlier in the week asking me if I was interested in changing my car - wasn't too interested as per my previous thread, but as I still have that expensive repair to do thought I'd pop in and see what's what.
Worth considering here that I inquired about p/exing early last year and was offered £4,500 at the time. Today they said they'd give me £7,350 against a new car, or £4,800 against a used car which I thought were quite decent valuations, especially considering Parkers has a p/ex value on my car at £3,385
hock:Obviously this was straight off, so some further negotiation might have brought prices down even further. So seems like we're still stuck deep in recession right now despite all the nonsense that apparently we're recovering.............

hmm - my gf wants me to get a 250 instead of a 300 as she likes the newer shape - ive only got about 8k put by so cant find one in my dealer i can get into as i dont want credit - might go have another look and a hard haggle

How old is your car? Depends what you want from the new car I guess as to whether you'll get an £8k cost to change or not but I think it should be quite achievable......

Are you looking for top spec and low mileage? If so then yes that's the sort of price range, but if you don't mind a manual or slightly high miles they're cheaper than that.

it would have to be auto - miles dont bother me too much but yeah for that kind of money id want every concievable extra

Yep fair enough, an auto SE-L with satnav is going to be at least £15k - possibly more..........

Why not go for a 250 SE? That'll be cheaper and still have more toys than the 300?

i dont mind really apart from i really like the gen1 is shape and would rather have a good 300 then a dog of a 250 if you see what i mean - plus i want to stay within my budget so i can afford to keep it nice rather then go skint
