I am about to get rid of two cars but not sure of best way to do it.

I am looking to buy a £30-35k disco and a £10-15k BMW.

I have a 2010 BMW 730D and a 2014 Outlander PHEV.

Which is best way to go?
Sell both cars separately as private sales?
Trade in against the new cars?
WBAC sale and use cash?

If you trade in a car can you negotiate anything of the marked price on the forecourt or just argue the toss on the trade in of the car?

Thanks

Separate trade in fella.
Figures will come to what looks best for dealer, may give you more for px and take off new vehicle or vise versa.

You could trade in both against one car or one against either car, the cars are worth what they are worth really.

When I worked at Hyundai around 10 years ago, I took a nearly new Cayenne in on PX and the customer purchased 2 Santa Fe's.

Surely the best way - at least in terms of price obtained - is ALWAYS to sell privately. Having 2 cars to sell (and 2 to buy) plays to your advantage because you don't end up in the situation of having 0 cars, or 2 cars. I assume you will be able to cope with having 1 or 3 cars at some point?

Trading in as part ex, or going to WBAC, will only get you trade in value or worse.

Thanks all, yes could live with three cars to enable a private sale, maybe 4 although taxing and insuring them all would be annoying!
