That does assume that was the figure they got for it, assuming the purchaser did not get a discount or trade in an older model for an inflated price and that no work was needed to be done before the sale. It looks high though, even when you deduct any costs for a guarantee and the sales persons commission.
The last two cars I traded in went on the market at 150per cent of the trade in price. IE £10000 then advertised for £15000. But neither were offered by the dealerships I traded them to. The motor trade do tend to move the cars in unless they are absolutely spot on for their market sector. My daughters recent 2014 Focus was sold via one of these companies that visit the house and take lots of photos and videos plus look at all the paperwork. It’s then offered to competing dealerships via an online auction from the house. She got a good price of around £5300, it popped up in Nottingham two days later at just under £9000. She could have sold it privately but preferred a clean deal with no tyre kickers, or disgruntled purchaser coming around because something may have gone wrong.
There’s a lot to be said for retaining one that you are comfortable with. We had a S5 Bailey which had new panels front and rear under warranty but gave use 9 years of trouble free usage, and sold privately with an excellent damp survey. It went to a local Subaru salesman but sad to say for him we didn’t buy the Subaru from his dealership.
I'm not certain that s/h caravans at dealerships will ever be that cheap! One of the effects of the introduction of the CRA, and the liability it places on a retailer, is the need for them to factor in a contingency against having to cover product failures.
As in layout or general interior decor? When Alu- tech came out we were tempted. Glad we didn’t, they are still prone to leak usually because of poor workmanship😢
The advantage is that the leak probably causes less damage, but that is no excuse for the thing leaking in the first place.
DD I would say we preferred layout when we started we hired a Marauder 450s what was a five berth our son loved having his own bit then we brought a Sprite Alpine 4 berth when he got older it had bunks and one you had to make up it only cost us £250 .
VAT is only payable on the difference in value a business creates ultimately , so that is always on the profit margin but its always based on the net price of the transaction. Functionally VAT is always calculated on the net value of a transaction so when buying goods VAT is accounted on the purchase, And when they sell the VAT is also calculated on the net value., but the payment the business makes to the HMRC is the difference between purchase and sales VAT.
