yes they could but that new one is still a set price,there is no movement on that figure
So if they can sell my low miles nearly new one for slightly more than a new one because person X cannot wait,but can have my trade in almost instantly for slightly over new price then they are hitting sales targets and making a bit extra money along the way and possibly earning a bit more through finance as I guess the interest would be higher on user rather than new.
So what's the hold up with them?
From Nitra in Slovakia is it?

I think Land Rover learn’t about supply and demand in the last couple of years when their vehicles were in shorter supply and the values of them new and used rocketed. So perhaps they’re holding back the reigns a bit now to try and keep that demand up? To be fair it seems to be working to a certain degree, the cheapest defender on auto trader is still north of 40 grand. It’s a basic 4 cylinder model with 90k miles. That car would only have been a few thousand £ more than that brand new.

I bought this bike in July as a pre reg

in November the same dealer offered what I paid for it against a new higher spec bike and it’s going to work out £80@month less roughly,so I’ve got this coming in April,all these deals have taken place with a dealer in another country and all been done unseen.
Nothing untoward but just playing the market,the bike they took back from me last July is actually still on their website for more than it cost me new in 2022
