Cancel trade in opinions and advice please

Hi All,

on Sunday I signed contract of sale on a Scirocco at a VW dealer. I also decided to trade in. I now wish to cancel trading in and sell privately. My question is am I too late now? I am picking up car on Saturday and haven't signed the finance documents yet also. Does it come down to dealer generosity as I still want the car anyway just prefer to sell private now.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I did exactly that, just rang the dealer and told him I would not be trading. Was no problem at all and they had lowballed my trade in which I sold privately for $5,000 more than the trade in offer. I suspect dealers these days just don't want to trade, market seems to be awash with used cars.

Cheers

George

Thanks George, I hope this is also the case as I have actually signed the papers, but nothing exchanged as yet. Did you get a new contract of sale? I'd like to think I can cancel the trade in and still get the car. Wish I thought of it earlier but that's hindsight.
