Earlier this week I traded in my 2006 Corsa Lite with 53,780km on the clock. It was pretty much in new condition since it had seat covers from the time it was bought. The only modifications I made was fitting 4 JVC speakers in the standard mounting pods (no cutting, kept it stock) since the default 2 speakers was crap. I also fitted 4 15" allow wheels with new tyres since the standard tyres handled like crap and aquaplaned a lot.
The trade-in book said 60,000km on a 2006 Corsa Lite = R40,000 and that is what I accepted. The salesman did tell me I can get about R52,500 if I sell privately.
Today I checked their site are saw they are selling it for R60,000 : http://reeds.co.za/classifieds/opel-corsa-lite-13181. Strangely the car cost only R15k more when it was bought new back in 2006.
They used a stock photo for the sliver Corsa, this is what the car actually looks like :
So my question is, apart from an R400 vallet, what other costs do they have that they do not pass on to the next buyer and how much profit do they make on a deal like this?
