Part ex'ing?
I was just wondering if the trade (a garage/showroom) would laugh at someone trying to part-ex a kit car for a production car?.....
Any thoughts?
Is this a TRADE ADVERTISEMENT?? Click HERE to report it!

I think 90% of car sales places would shy away from it TBH. If you're lucky you might find one with an enthusiastic owner or employee
who'd take it on.

I doubt they'd know what it was worth so they'd say they couldn't..... A lot easier with production cars- just need a copy of
Glass' guide.

Even if they accept it would you would only get a 'trade' price for it. What's wrong with selling it privately / flebay, surely you
would get a better price

Why are you even thinking of buying from a trader?
Traders exist on the margin between what they buy the car for and what they sell it for. If they can buy it cheap, so can you!

Depends on the Kit Car... I've seen Caterhams in posh showrooms before.

Hi Neil,
I live in Sauchen, have driven it around the village a couple of times but no further until the good weather arrives - a few of us are getting some
time on the Alford track if you fancy a bit of testing!
Cheers,
Dan

Would be interested in trying out the Alford track if you have access. I thought it had been dug up??

No, the track is still there - they were doing some building work around it but the track is there - will let you know.
Cheers,
