From my experience most people over here would either try to sell privately or do a trade in. Most of those ideas are still relevant but it is the changeover that is the important figure.  :cool:

Yep, 'Walk Away Renee' and the car salesman in his safari suit and white Gucchi shoes will chase you out of the yard with a better offer sometimes.  My trick is..Go get all the new car brochures, Hyundai, Mazda, Toyota, Ford, Holden, Nissan, etc, arrange them all over the interior of your intended trade in, just pretending to the salesman you are looking at all models, sucks them in sometimes, sometimes I said. :whistler: 

When I bought my wife's new Hyundai Accent late last year, I put the Toyota Corolla/Yaris, Kia Rio, Mitsubishi Mirage, Harley Davidson,  Honda Jazz brochures on the passenger seat, telling the car salesman I was interested in several cars, but as Dazz said, 'Change over figure on the trade in - Nissan Micra ST-L was paramount.  I reckon it worked, got a decent deal. :goodjob2:

Very handy info. While my Daughter was getting her car serviced at the Hy dealer the other week she was looking at a new Tuscan in the show room. A salesman started talking to her and out of curiosity she asked what she would get for her late 2013 i30 Elite petrol GD with 16.000Km on the clock as a trade in. After about 15 minutes he came back with a figure of  $12000.   :eek: her reaction was  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: forget it. ( by the way her car is immaculate )
