My Peugeot dealer just sent us a letter stating they have a customer
wanting to buy a 307 the same age and model as ours and they'd like to
buy it, offering 'up to 30%' discount against certain models of new
car.

Seems like b#llsh^t to me, but we phoned them and they stated a
standard book price trade in and another £1k off the price of a new
307  (not exactly 30%).

Anyone experienced this before ?  Is it a standard sales trick to try
and get you in to buy a new car, in that you think they're desperate
to buy your old one and so get such a 'big' discount and good trade in
price (neither of which is true).

Ask them who that customer is and sell it to them direct. :)

It is all sales pitch.

   Wow, thats the same letter i got, dealer trying to buy the exact same
car, model etc etc that i have.
Mine went in the shredder.
I can't stand Liar's, especially company's telling porky pies, you would
think that the reputation of the dealers are bad enough already with out
more bull to add to there list.

You should ahve asked which models would get the 30% discount. Bet it would
only be either the most expensive, or the one they have had on the forecourt
for too long and have to get rid of it.
But it will never be the model you actually want.
