A bit miffed

As some of you know I traded the ZS in for a bmw now I got 800 for the old problem child which I thought was ok for a dealer price. That being said my bmw is kicking up crank sensor issues already but the worst thing out of all this is the dealer is asking 1695 for the old zs how cheeky is that!!! More than double what he paid me after telling me there was only a small profit in the car for him

One is not amused

To be fair the dealer does have overheads and once all these have been covered his actual profit isn't that much.

Someone will trade in a car they'd struggle to get £600 for private and the dealer will offer them £700 against your zs. That's how they make money and are able to sell at OTT prices.

so basically your saying you traded it in because it's a bit of a dog that's gonna need a fair bit of work doing to it?
from the traders point of view, he likely offered you more than he really thought your zs was worth just to move on the bm and keep stock rolling, his mark up is about right, after all you've already said it's going to need work and he's already assumed the same and took it into account when he valued it.
profit is not a dirty word, let's face it, if you thought you could have got 1600 for your car, you would have done it?
