  • Need Advise on Buying a Used Car From a Dealership Without Finance.

    Usually you'd put down a deposit and arrange to either go get the cash and bring it straight over or card payment at the dealership. You rarely get to take the car home that day as they usually go off for a fresh MOT etc first so paying by cheque would just delay that further.

      Could use it to yor advantage and get your credit rating up by paying on credit card etc and immediately paying it off...

            Thanks all, wasn't too sure the best way to organise it.

            I don't have any credit card's Dave. Never have had one in my life. I took out finance for something once and got stung and made it a life rule never to take out loans / credit or finance on anything again. If i can't save up the cash for something, i'll just do without. Silly i know, but i've no debts or anything to worry about if i ever lost my job.

            Do you think there's more haggle room paying with cash over debit card?

                Small second hand dealer, yes there is a discount for cash at quite a few of these as they won't put the full amount through the books.

                Big franchise dealer there will be a bigger discount for finance.

                  That's what i was thinking Tim, it's a small independent dealer as far as i know.

                  When ever i get repairs done on my cars from most of the places i've been to, they give a reasonable discount if paying by cash for the reason's Tim mentioned.
                  Usually never got a receipt when doing it that way though.

                    Use cash to try to lever more money off. if they say no, just use the debit card. Have fun haggling.

                      Plus they get a debit card fee, probably only 1-2% but still a fee.

                            Taurus is right, they normally work in quarters. I heard a story, from a bloke who used to work at BMW, who witnessed a woman walking into a dealership on the last day of the quarter. Apparently they needed 1 more car sold to hit their BMW target which would mean a huge bonus. Apparently she got a brand new BMW, with nearly every extra for next to nothing.

                            They made a big loss on that car but received a huge bonus.

                              Called to query the car now.
                              Service history with Seat for the first 3 years and 33k then no more service history until the dealership serviced it at 77k
                              Appears it was serviced whilst in warranty and then after that neglected. With the problems with premature camshaft wear on these engines, i decided to give it a miss, especially for 4k asking price.

                              Going to view this one tomorrow though instead.

                              Seat Ibiza 1.9TDi FR 3dr Very Fast And Economical 2006

                              Apparently it's had a 120 point pre sales service, HPI clear and FSH every 10k although not with SEAT so no gaurantee that long life oil has been used but seems worth the risk.
                              Coupled with timing belt and tentioner just done with genuine parts could be my new car.
                              The guy i spoke to sounded a little older and quite genuine. I know this could me being naive but he said his son would see me tomorrow as he's on Holiday so it must be a small family business. Car has been advertised for approx one month and pictures have been changed a few times so i reckon i can get it a little less than the asking price
