Wickham Neutral Newbie December 22, 2013 Share December 22, 2013 Sry TS to hijack yr thread cos I hv qtns rather similar to yrs... If we scrap it ourselves, would we be able to get a better deal than trading current car in? Do we call in scrap operators or how? For those who have done it or have the knowledge, could you plse share cos I've read up LTA procedures but still want to find out other options. TIA for advice. Depends. PML offered me more than double my scrap value to entice me to buy its last 1-series. Other dealers will take in at scrap value and do all the paperwork for me ie. if I were to buy from them. If you find a one-stop scrap dealer without the hassle, pls share too k. Mine's due in Feb. Tks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qpik Supercharged December 22, 2013 Share December 22, 2013 Dealers must also include the car body value in addition to the scrap value. Hi Achee, my dealer said nowadays car body value only afew hundred dollars cos now no value in exporting car & they don't get physical cash just a piece of paper from scrap yard.

How to verify his statement and find out my car value cos this is my first time doing trade-in? Appreciate if you could advice me. Thank you. It depends on what car you are trading in, its condition as well as the demand for your car model in export countries. One way is for you to check with a few scrap car dealers and compare what they can offer you. I recall some time back there was a thread in MCF on body value.

Shox87 4th Gear September 11, 2016 Share September 11, 2016 overtrade seems to be over-used nowadays. In a way, the over-trade is effectively factored into the new car price. So ultimately its just a numbers game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator September 11, 2016 Share September 11, 2016 (edited) Can't answer this question apples for apples cos some ADs have huge profit margins which they refuse to cut so indirectly give u higher trade in prices for your existing ride. Normally these are the luxury car ADs. B&B car ADs give u paper value trade in cos their margins typically smaller so go in with your eye open n don't get taken in by higher trade in prices. These days with everything so transparent, u can get lots of info in onemotoring.com to give u a clear picture of what u getting!

therock Supersonic September 11, 2016 Share September 11, 2016 The overtrade is a means of enticing you. The nett price is what matters. One way or another, you need to pay. Jap companies tend to give you a WYSIWYG price. The conti ones like Merc, BMW have a high list price, then offer discounts to make you feel good. But does anyone pay the SRP?

Philipkee Twincharged September 24, 2016 Share September 24, 2016 (edited) Wanna ask. If your car had multiple faults and you wanna trade in the car with the AD for a new car 1) would you fix everything before the trade in? 2) trade in but declare every single fault? 3) keep mum as AD should check? By the way I don't feel good selling the car to another buyer because there are multiple faults. And I don't wanna sell to second hand car dealer as they might not fix them. But AD will, right ? Anyway wanna hear your opinions. Edited September 24, 2016 by Philipkee 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
