What price peace of mind though, if you can come to a happy deal with a trader the bonus is no worries about muggers scammers con men fraudsters forgers and all the other assorted flotsam out there....much to be said for an approachable trader.
We've just completed a nice little part ex purchase for a member of the family with a local trader, part ex'd a 123k mile BMW 320td compact for a 78k mile BMW 320 coupe some 3 years newer, nice chap happy to talk sensibly and we're all happy with the deal, i had to get two new tyres on it thismorning, old ones still legal but regular posters will know i don't muck about with barely there tyres, they get binned.
The buyer and i didn't fancy the fun and games of all sorts viewing etc, worked for us and the dealer...maybe we'd have been £500 better off with a 'straight' private buy and sell, but until you've had the new car 6 months you'll be wondering if the loud knock at the door is the old bill looking for a stolen/ringed motor.
