Dodgy inflated valuation?

Just been updated on status of my ordered HSE- bit of a delay due to mixup in spec- can live with that. Understood could be a depreciation in trade in value for my D3 HSE, but 6 weeks down the line my car is now worth £1500 less... The dealer has said they would guarantee this valuation for when I pick up my new car, but the cynic in me wonders if the deal was literally too good to be true when the order was placed. I suppose I'm not used to buying a car from factory order with a waiting list.
Any thoughts?

Over a year ago now but I was given a trade in price in Jan on my D3 for collection March - based on a assumed mileage - I then had to put a lot of miles (about 7K in 2 months due to work) - spoke with dealer and they where OK as long as I didnt go over a specific mileage - which I didnt
Worth a challenge me thinks

From what I've heard D3 values have been "softning" by that sort of amount. Crazy values couldn't remain with snow a distant memory and fuel prices at these levels.

Just remind them that if you pull out of the deal it will cost them £1500 to find a new buyer.

Don't budge, you've already made the deal

When you ordered your new motor, and agreed a PX price, all that will be on the Invoice. That will show Purchase Price - Px Valuation = Balance to pay (or finance).

Tell them to sling their hook, its a legally binding contract, unless they take your D3 now and supply you a courtsey car in the interim.

When I went to trade my G4 in on a D4 I was given 2 prices ... One to buy a car there and then and one to buy a new car with a 3 month build date .

Ordered a new one and they signed to say they would take my car when new one is built ( even if it's delayed )

So basically I know what I'm getting ... I can bung as many miles as I want on the car .. They will still pay the agreed price Thumbs Up G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Hmm- yes checked mine today on said site and it came out much less than 6 weeks ago too. I think today's valuation by dealer fair but end of march's overegged. Just disappointed and slightly suspicious that the enticement was there in the form of a v high trade in value. It was mentioned when order placed that value would be reassessed and the figure of £500 mooted based on an 8 week wait.. Maybe the march figure was inflated by the bad winter weather?
