  1. 11I am purchasing a new car in Dublin. Should I sell my car to Cash for cars Dublin or trade it into the garage where I am buying my new car?

Sell your car to Cash for Cars Dublin, no doubt!!  Car traders are very good at moving numbers around and making you believe they are giving you a good price on the trade-in of your vehicle.

For example, you may know your current car is worth approx.. €5k.  The garage where you are purchasing your new car will tell you they are offering you €5k for your current car, which you think is an excellent deal.  In reality they are probably offering you €3k for it, and adding the additional €2k to the price of your new  vehicle.  I can assure you this happens, and to find out how much you are really  getting for your trade in next time you are purchasing a new car, do the following:

  • Go to the garage to choose and get price for your new car
  • When asked by the salesman if you will be trading in your old car, say ‘No, I have it sold privately to a family member already, so I just want to purchase, no trade in’. You are now an ideal customer for the garage and you will be given the best actual price for your new car (without the trade in mark up being added).
  • Next time you go back to the garage tell them your sale has fallen through and you now will want to trade in. You will see the salesman’s frustration.
  • Considering he has already given you the price for the new car, he cannot mess around with the new car figures anymore. Therefore he will have to tell you the true trade in price he is offering for your old car, which will be approx. €3k.
  • This time you will be given the true price for a new car and the true price for your trade in. The upgrade cost will be the same, but at least you will be presented with the true numbers, rather than making you think you are getting more for your trade in.
  • When given the true numbers you will see how Cash for Cars Dublin can benefit you. See below

aaScenario No.1 – Buying a new car and tell the salesman you want to trade in your old one……

He will tell you he is giving you €5k for your car, and will say he can upgrade your car for €17k.   This would mean your new car is costing €22k, but the salesman will never want to discuss the new car price.  He will always refer to the upgrade price only.  This is to make you think you are getting a good price for your car, but in reality the new car price is €20k, and you are getting €3k for your old one.  Regardless the upgrade is costing €17k no matter how the numbers are displayed.


bbScenario No.2 – You tell the Salesman you just want to purchase, no trade in……

You will be given the best purchase price for your new car.  There is no need to mess with the numbers here, so you will be told the cost of the new car is €20k.

When you go back and say you now want to trade in, he will not be happy, but will have to give you his actual trade in price for your old car.  He will have to tell you he is offering €3k, which makes you feel like you are not getting enough money for your car, but regardless, the upgrade cost is still €17k.


33Scenario No.3 – You tell the Salesman you do not want to trade in and you sell your old car to Cash for Cars Dublin……

This way you get the actual price for your new car, and a fair price for your trade in. You are again given the purchase price of €20k for your new car.  You sell your old car to Cash for Cars Dublin for €4.5k.  Therefore your car upgrade is costing you €15.5k.  This results in a saving in your pocket of €1.5k.  No messing with numbers, and everyone can see the real costs and values.  Everyones a winner (accept the garage who was trying to make more money on your trade in)!!
