Techno Viking Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 58 minutes ago, stevenl said: 300k trade in if looking at 400k sales is not that bad. They could have been willing to go a bit higher, 25k probably, maximum 50k. The extra you spent on the car has (nearly) no value on resale. the 300k was only if they bought a new (toyota) vehicle.

LammyTS1 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I bought mine, Nov 2016. Had newly arrived in showroom that day. I was waiting on a particular colour. Received book a month later and model year was 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Does it matter if the car was manufactured a few months before you buy it? it's still a new car. You are never going to get one straight off the production line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the main reason I first started this topic. Since I found this out I make sure the sales contract specifies the model year. The VIN number and tyre "week/year" is of good help to get indication if the dealer intend to deliver a car older than what according to my opinion I bought. This can be checked before payment/taking delivery of the car. Just to avoid a negative surprise when the blue book arrives after a month or more.

Sir Swagman Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I wouldn't pay a lot of heed to the blue book date of manufacture. I have a car that is, by the blue book, manufactured after production ceased. Only out by 8 years, so near enough I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2015 model does not mean the year of manufacture was 2015. Could be 2014-2016 in this case. Edited September 27, 2017 by stevenl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Date registered states Nov 2016. Model year states 2015. I take that to mean the new model came out 2015 and all subsequent sales from that date to present day, will state 2015 model year until they bring out a newer model?

It could even be they started selling the 2015 model in 2014. Until they come out with a new model it will be the 2015 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
