What’s the normal discount on a cash purchase of a new car?

No trade in.

Retail price €45k. I haven’t a bean so needs to reduce by about 40% to get me in the game.

So you’re prepared to peel circa €27k. I’d be looking at something around the €30k before the haggling starts. 10% would be roughly the mark-down for a cash buyer.

You’d get 171 520MSport ex-UK with small miles for that kind of moolah.

Stupid.

There is that too.

You lose about 10% of the value of it as soon as you drive it out the door. If not more

www.copart.co.uk has all the answers.

More like 20%

Appendage · November 10, 2019, 7:59am

I know the bit about losing value once you drive off the forecourt. That’s just a fact of buying a new car.

Welcome back m8

anon78624367 · November 10, 2019, 9:44am

So why the fuck would you do it? Buy the 182 that’s 20% cheaper for cash, that will get you a lot closer to 40%

@carryharry after how many kms would i need to change the timing belt on a pasaat. No issue with car yet no noise from it or anything

carryharry · November 12, 2019, 9:59pm

200,000km I’d guess.

gilgamboa · November 12, 2019, 10:03pm

Sound…last time I had it serviced (main dealer( the cunts were trying to tell me 130k

carryharry · November 12, 2019, 10:05pm

I’m due Timing belt change at that number and same make of engines in both cars. Your Passat possibly 1.6lt?

anon98850436 · November 12, 2019, 10:06pm

Harry, my last car supposedly had issues with the timing chain and I had it replaced just in case.

Has this all been resolved in their newer cars?
