Not sure about traders having difficult times (well not surprised ) if my experience is anything to go by.Rang 2 garages today re 2006 vw golf both said they had beautiful ones for sale for 16500 to 17000 .Got a friend to ring and ask about trading in 2006 golf against new 2009 golf and was offered 10000 as trade in .Surley if they are selling 06 golf for 16 to 17k and offering 10k as trade in they must be doing ok ,nice mark up I think.Has no one heard of the difficult trading conditions car dealers are having at the moment ?
hey,
I've put my car up for sale on carzone two days ago, no calls as of yet, one email asking if I'd be interested in a straight swap. Told them I'd swap for cash, no response ;-)
anyone know how the Carzone Views work - do they consider a view to be looking at a photo i.e. 8 photos up implies 8 views if all photos are looked at?

Every time your ad is clicked on it is recorded on the counter. Viewing the 8 photos within your ad will not advance the counter any further.
thanks daithi28,
makes me feel a little better I've had 47 views on my car in the last 4 days. I was thinking that was perhaps only 6 possible individuals which could have been me and then the Scammers - I mean "Match Makers" who rang today.
This [broken link removed] here might clarify things a bit. Basically someone phones you up and says they have umpteen buyers for your car (doesn't matter what year, mileage or condition) and all you have to do is pay them about €100 and your phone will be ringing off the hook. They claim that they make their profit from the finance they provide to the buyers. But the buyers don't exist and they take your money in full knowledge of this.Who or what are these match makers as I got a call too, just ignored girl on phone as I kind of knew it must be a scam.
You'd be mad not to check out car auctions at the moment. Fair enough its buyer beware, but the prices on carzone are at least 50% more than the sales I seen last Saturday in Naas. Saw a 2006 passenger Pajero go for 14000. just checked carzone and the same year mileage and colour was 26000.
