Looking at Auto-trader and searching for High UP... it is noticeable that this pricing is way to cheap.
The next High UP listed is at 8450£ with 21K on the clock... (bit to high price for mileage)
If I then select up to 5000miles in auto-trader you find that the price jumps to 8700£ with 3800miles on it. this is closer to the money you would be paying for an High up.
So the just from the pricing of this car puts it in the Take UP bracket...
The trader is trying to sell to someone who just does not know, and does not check... who thinks he is getting a bargain...
You want to be certain of the UP you are looking to buy, try a VW authorised reseller.. be armed with the specs of the cars. Note down the VIN Number and look on line or your local VW garage.
Dealers are there to sell cars.. and some will try and sell you anything... Some are better than others.. I worked as a car salesman for a while... a long time ago, but hated it... so I got an insight into how they work. (Every person that walks through the door IS GOING TO BUY A CAR) this is the mind set of the salesperson. Main Dealers are less so, the smaller independent garages try to sell more aggressively.
Since then I don't trust any sales person... and I make them work, before I decide to buy.
and if i feel uncomfortable I will walk away.
Do yourself that biggest favour... Walk away from that Car... It feels all wrong. Don't try and convince yourself it is OK etc... clearly the trader is hiding something with this.. as clearly its not an High UP.
If you do go to look at a car, get a friend to go with you, or better still you can get an independent AA evaluation of the car. if the trader won't allow this.. RUN AWAY.
Be Safe, Buy Well... as it is **** out There.
