Is An Ex Demo The Car For You?
Even though there’s only one week to go for the Lightcliffe Ex-demo sale New Car Sales Manager Kav felt it was worthy of its own news item, and here it is!
For those of you who have never considered an ex-demo as an option, Kav sat down with fellow managers Mike and Phil put their collective heads together to come up with some of the merits and key benefits. The hope is that you will find these gems of wisdom useful while you ponder what for most of us is the second largest purchase we will make after a house.
Here’s whet the fab 3 came up with:
Price Reduction - Ex-demo cars are often sold at a discounted price, sometimes significantly lower than the original retail price, so the dealership has in effect absorbed the initial depreciation.
High Specification - Dealerships often use high-spec models as demos, meaning you might get features and options that would be extra on a new purchase.
Excellent Condition - Ex-demo cars are meticulously maintained by the dealership and often have very low mileage. They are typically in top condition, having been valeted regularly for showroom display and test drives.
Remaining Warranty - Most ex-demo cars come with a remaining balance of the manufacturer's warranty, offering peace of mind and potential cost savings.
Immediate Availability - Ex-demo cars are readily available for purchase, unlike some new models which might require a long wait for factory orders.
Warranty Period – Even though the warranty period starts from the car's first registration date, thee will probably still be well over two years remaining.
Potential for Hidden Issues to be exposed – Even with the incredible standards of QA employed by Skoda, some niggles do slip though the net, but these will almost certainly get picked up during the demo period.
Apart from all the usual managers discounts on offer there is also an extra £1000 finance deposit contribution available for all of these cars so for anyone considering treating themselves, an ex-demo might well be worth a look!
