Title: Trade club
Post by: CaptainZok on 15 September 2006, 18:02:25
We hear trade club cards mentioned quite a lot on here. Is there an easy way to get one or is it a benefit for garages only kind of thing?

strictly speaking you need to be in the trade.

However, clubs who are members of the VBOA (Vauxhall Bedford Opel Association) now have trade club membership for their members - but for personal use only - Vx reserve the right to remove this if they feel it is being abused, and could withdraw it for ALL clubs and their members. Rumour has it that not all dealers recognise this arrangement, but it was advertised in an internal magazine a good few months ago which I believe helped on that score.

The full list of clubs in VBOA is here (http://www.vboa.org.uk/toplevel.php?p=d) - join any of them to get trade club membership.

My local Stealer still say there are not a participant in this arrangement although they will give you trade (usually 15%) at the drop of a hat ;)

Yes that true as well, not all dealers will give you trade club price....and true again most dealers will give discount if you ask.....i dont have to ask anymore as im in the dealer so often they just give me discount without me having to ask..good or bad thing  :-/
