L23 6th Gear February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 dont think so. I think this is the lowest it has ever been. u wont get the same price with any other car like A4, C-Class or 3-series. Even smaller CLA is more ex. no overtrade then u cant get much disc from PML alr. their disc is primarily inside overtrade component. car loan gives another few k. if take out these 2 i very much doubt they will give u any good bargain VW same story, but not as big overtrade disc as PML I hear say A4 selling at 140k++ now.. Thanks coldboy1357. Can you please explain further how to get more discount from overtrade? For example... my old car is worth $40K if I were to sell it to a second hand dealer. The offer from the PML SE is $36K trade-in value + $4K overtrade rebate (total also $40K). I end up topping up the same amount to buy the new car. Any other tricks in this overtrade that I miss? Thanks. Your formula is wrong... Never regard overtrade as discount. In your formula, you are basically getting lesser than $36k of value in the end ...

Andyclhui Clutched February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 I hear say A4 selling at 140k++ now.. Your formula is wrong... Never regard overtrade as discount. In your formula, you are basically getting lesser than $36k of value in the end ... Sorry....I am confused. For example, the list price of new car quoted by SE is $150K, with old car trade-in value $36K and overtrade $4K. I was asked by SE to top up $110K to buy the new car (i.e.. $150K - $36K - $4K = $110K). Can you please elaborate where the formula is wrong and how much I need to pay? Thanks.

OTOT 1st Gear February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 Sorry....I am confused. For example, the list price of new car quoted by SE is $150K, with old car trade-in value $36K and overtrade $4K. I was asked by SE to top up $110K to buy the new car (i.e.. $150K - $36K - $4K = $110K). Can you please elaborate where the formula is wrong and how much I need to pay? Thanks. Hi My own experience with a particular AD as follows.. Using your example, the formula should look like $150k - $XX - $YY - $ZZ, where $XX is the old car trade-in value (should be about the same as what you would get from the 2nd hand car dealer) $YY is the over-trade value from the AD ("additional discount") $ZZ is the discount from list price by AD There may also be additional freebies offered by the SE, but this may vary with SE. Hope its clearer now. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your formula, you are basically getting lesser than $36k of value in the end ... So what is overtrade then? Until now I am still not clear with this words. Seem to me like transfer what we still owe from previous car bring over to current new car installment. Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Passat57 3rd Gear February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 You sure got this price? I believe so, the sales man informed me today, but I did not confirm because I was not interested. Probably need to take loan and insurance from VW to enjoy that price. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
