This issue is further compounded when a vehicle is under a finance contract or has multiple PPSR Interests.

Trade Your Car in at a Dealership

Trading in your car to a dealer when purchasing a new/used vehicle can be the most common way to move from one car to the next, but its not always the best option.

A dealership will look at the vehicle and decide whether it is a car they want for stock or whether this is a car they would wholesale. If they want the vehicle for their stock, it is in their interest to purchase the car as cheaply as possible so they have a larger margin when they come to sell it.

If they want to wholesale the vehicle, they probably have a few dealers they could call on to try and move the vehicle. Generally, you will be offered the price given to them by the wholesaler or perhaps a lower price so they can make a profit on the wholesale transaction of the car.

It is easy to fall into the trap of looking at a trade-in price and assuming you have been offered a good deal. Most dealers will work on the fact that they have some margin in the car your buying and can inflate the price of the trade accordingly to make the deal presented more appealing, remember it's the change-over figure that’s important.
