    My Peugeot dealer just sent us a letter stating they have a customer
    wanting to buy a 307 the same age and model as ours and they'd like to
    buy it, offering 'up to 30%' discount against certain models of new
    car.

    Seems like b#llsh^t to me, but we phoned them and they stated a
    standard book price trade in and another £1k off the price of a new
    307 (not exactly 30%).

    Anyone experienced this before ? Is it a standard sales trick to try
    and get you in to buy a new car, in that you think they're desperate
    to buy your old one and so get such a 'big' discount and good trade in
    price (neither of which is true).

    Cheers

    Ask them who that customer is and sell it to them direct. :)

    It is all sales pitch.

    Wow, thats the same letter i got, dealer trying to buy the exact same
    car, model etc etc that i have.
    Mine went in the shredder.
    I can't stand Liar's, especially company's telling porky pies, you would
    think that the reputation of the dealers are bad enough already with out
    more bull to add to there list.

    You should ahve asked which models would get the 30% discount. Bet it would
    only be either the most expensive, or the one they have had on the forecourt
    for too long and have to get rid of it.
    But it will never be the model you actually want.

    My girlfriend was telephoned two years ago with a story very like this
    letter, the customer was home from America, he was looking to buy a car
    (Vectra GTS) the same age, model and spec as hers, big discount from the
    garage on a new model if she could help the garage. However the Vectra
    changed the model and spec and she couldn’t get a new GTS but the garage
    told her of the new model which is the replacement of the GTS – with
    similar spec. We shopped around other garages to learn that the car the
    first garage offered her was not the replacement of the GTS and had a much
    lower spec, so do your homework before you buy the 307…
