[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sold a car to a dealer for $3k.  They listed for $5500 on their site snd it sold within 2 wks.  Not sure what the sales price was, but clearly, they have thousands to work with in negotiating.[/quote]

Except that they prepped your car for sale,   [b]well, I had already had it cleaned inside and out -- including shampooing the floormats.  So, not much prep there.[/b]

advertised it, [/b]  they put it on their website.  minimal expense.[b]

stored it,  [b]they put it on their lot[/b]

paid someone to show it, processed the sale.  [b]They probably added a $300 processing fee to the sale[/b]

None of that was free.[/quote]

I don't exactly feel sorry for them.  I know they want to make a buck.  That's what they are in business to do.  They tried to get me to take $2500 for it.  I knew I could sell it quick on craigslist for $3000.  When I held firm, they came up to $3000.  I was fine with that.

My only point was that I saw it just days later for $5500 on their site.... so clearly (to answer OP's question) they have THOUSANDS that they can whittle off the price for a used car.  Go aggressive.[/quote]
