Ok, so the AA didn’t actually use the words in the headline, but a survey it’s done has revealed that almost 50 percent of respondents would be drawn in by a car advertised at significantly less than its market value. Around one third admit they’d be interested in buying a car if it were priced at half the market value, albeit with a note of caution.
Obviously the old adage about never eating yellow snow a deal being too good to be true applies here, but the AA quantifies it: “buyers should never be tempted by vehicles advertised for less than 70% of their market price, as a suspicious bargain could turn out to be a clone or worse, leaving the buyer severely out of pocket,” said a spokesperson.
