Engine oil price!!

[Dave1.8]

Last night Gsi3.2, said that 5 ltrs of longlife oil was £28 plus vat. I have rang 3 VX dealers this morning, and they all said £40 plus vat. Anyone know why? thanks

[JonR]

i believe 28+vat was a retail price so cant be incorrect, i reckon they are pulling at your winky mate

[Dave1.8]

All 3 though? What do I do to get them to admit its 28?

[JonR]

ask them first if its 28 on trade?

Mark gets it trade price, so do I, last 5 litres was £23 inc, but it was onshelf at £44 iirc, you need to find someone local who has a trade card.

[Gsi3.2]

The £41.25+V is full retail price for 5 litres...

Trade price is 25.19+vat, so you need to try and 'blag' trade....

If you know anyone local who has their ' tradeclub' scheme for business's only, then it drops again to £18.00+V...

you just need to twist their arm a bit..

[Dave1.8]

How do I blag trade?

How do I blag trade?

Just ask, they can only say no

[VauxVeteran]

They will ask for a company name, so it's pointless going in and just saying trade please.

If you can hook up with Brocks sometime and give him enough money to cover how much you want, as long as he drops it off to me 1st I will get you some next time he's down this way.

Works for me The invoice doesn't have my name on it, it's got AA Cars, or whatever. It depends on the parts dept., how well you know them and how much you buy.
