What is the difference between trade and retail values?
There’s quite a substantial difference between trade- and retail values, with trade being significantly lower than the retail value (as much as 20% lower, in most cases). This is mainly due to the fact that there’s a mark-up for dealers built into the retail value – buying cheap and selling dear, as it were. Of course, these values are somewhat arbitrary and can be influenced by the popularity of your specific car in the second-hand trade, as well as a car’s reputation among pre-owned dealers. – Martin Pretorius, AutoTrader.
