Who here works for a car dealership?
I know there is some but I forget. I have a couple questions about trading in my car or selling it privately.

If you don't know how to play the game, find someone that does and learn from them. Don't take less than KBB and don't pay more than invoice. If you don't walk out and make them call you back, you paid too much.

I did for a while. I felt like a slime-bucket when I worked there. I was.
Sell it privately. Most car dealerships have something called the "trade devaluation." No joke....a week of training is dedicated to perfecting the "trade devaluation." Essentially we were trained to devalue your shit and spiff up our shit...and make it believable. Don't trade it in, dude...unless they have some sort of cash for clunkers deal going on. Learn the demographic in which your car sells and display it on a hill in which that demographic generally resides, homeslice. |

If you have the time to sell on your own, do it. Most car dealers will tell you that is the best choice for yourself. But if you want haggle room on your new purchase, get your new(er) car quicker, have some sort of buyer protection you won't get from craigslist, then you use the dealer. No harm in that. It's like remodeling your bathroom, you can save money doing it yourself, but if you want it done soon and up to code, more often than not; just pay a little extra to someone in the know to do it correctly. |

I don't know about a code for selling cars, bottom line is if you don't care about how much you receive for your old car, use a dealer. If you do care, maybe you should sell it yourself.

No, bottom line; you can do many things on the cheap yourself, including g selling your car. But it may take two - six months. If you don't want to wait, go to a dealer.

I care but I don't care enough to want to mess with haggling with strangers.

But hey, if your financial situation is such that you can flush money down the toilet and it won't even affect you, go ahead and trade it in.

BUT FIRST--If you have a Car Max in your area, take your trade-in there first. They'll give you a price and you'll know what you can expect. If the dealer you're buying from can't meet that, just take it back to Car Max and sell it to them. |

My buddy started one three years ago. The capital you need is really how much you are going to put into it, I know in Missouri though you have to sell a certain number of cars each year don't know what it is in Florida though. He does pretty well at it, his trouble is the lot situation. I think he finally might have a permanent one that he is buying.

The problem selling it private is you get douchebags coming by and wasting time. Or they try and haggle you in front of your wife (and theirs). One time after college I sold my Honda to a kid in Juco. He came by to pick it up and I asked if he had a cashiers check which we agreed on. He said "no, bank wouldn't loan me the money, I was just going to make Paynents to you". Lol
