It was a independent dealer that made the trade in offer against a 2016 M2 with 6k miles up for £36.5k after negotiation.mr wilks wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 7:44 pmBearing in mind the value of the car you are buying they have hit with you with a "bottom book " figure where they hope to make £ on both the M2 & the MC trade in , of course that's their business but if i was in your shoes id be wanting closer to £19250 /£19450 .
They'l spend £1k then offer it at £22k / £22500 ?
No idea how you plan to fund the M2 (Pcp /HP or buy ) but If i was heading out to get into a £48k Bmw from a main dealer i wouldn't start negotiations with a trade in hammer out a no PX deal first just to see where you can be , no reason why after a week pondering you can't then dangle the MC as a possible "hurdle" that's preventing you sealing the deal at which point you may only get offered £17k but what they give you for the car is irrelevant , its the ££ cost to change that matters
I'm lucky in that i can afford to buy the new car with cash and then sell my Z4M at a later date so no need for finance or PCP etc
