2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

Selling up

Decided to sell my shop today along with a couple of the company vehicles .

My 2007 RRS TDV8 being one of them

My car is in mint condition having covered 11800 miles with 20'' wheels and privacy glass,finished in black.

The supplying dealer has offered to sell it for me for a fee of £1000

They think the vehicle should fetch £38,000 and will give me £37,000 on completion...

Question is...do you think I should go down this route...and do you think it is a fair price?
Paid £41,9995 for it three months ago.

Advice greatly appreciated !

Regards,

Matthew. 19.1 mpg..who gives a fluck?

2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

Seems reasonable - I'd be tempted to say £1K + 20% (for example) of anything over £38K as an incentive to maintain your expectation - otherwise they vould move it for £35K and still get their money...

But that has to be countered against moving it on and avoiding depreciation, you could incentivise them for say £36-38K this month, £35-37K next month to protect both sides perhaps...

I sat in with the sales manager as he rang around for bids on the car,and it was a sickener !

He must have made twenty calls to different traders..the worst bid was £27500 and the best £30,250

Matt - I had a interesting experience with two VW dealers when I swapped my Allroad for the Touareg. They made the mistake of showing me who had quoted on my Allroad - it happened to be the dealer I bought it from and the same dealer I have my RS5 order with - it transpired that both dealers had asked the AUDI dealer for a price on a lower spec 2.7tdi Allroad with no options - rather than my hispec 3.0tdi. Due to my relationship with the AUDI dealer I called them to complain about the offer hence I found this out - my contact at AUDI told me these two VW dealers always do this as it of course helps them in moving the car on

You should try dealing with a certain LR dealer in Berks......they are quoting £7k under book to protect their lower regions....an absolute joke and no longer my preferred dealer
