    Discount on Approved Used

    Wondering how flexible dealers are on approved used stock. Has anyone got experience here?

    Been reading through the threads and have found a few on new car discounts but have so far struggled to find anything on used discounts.

    I have found a car I’m interested in. It’s approaching its 1st year anniversary and represents a 34% discount vs new, however, it’s missing a tow bar and roof rails. Is it reasonable to ask for these to be retro fitted as part of the deal along with a price discount? Or am I going to get laughed out of the door?

    Also curious to know, if the car is ex JLR is the dealer selling on their behalf, so just takes a commission or does the dealer own the car outright?

    Ex JLR management cars are sold to the dealer network at closed auctions, so they belong to dealer not JLR

    That's good to know - Thanks!

    So it's depreciating stock you'd hope they'd want to shift.

    Trouble is if the price of a new or used car from a dealer is discounted, then the price of your trade in is worth less too.

    Of course this only applies if you are trading in another car.
