used caryard mark-ups...I'll be f@%&ed

Thats exactly why people are turning to low klm Japanese imports and the caryards are crying unfair.

I don't see the problem - the guy had underpriced his Jackaroo.

Don't like car salespeople in general BUT....

Yes, he had obviously undervalued his vehicle, that's why the dealers snapped it up,
and these guys have to make a living, can't expect them to buy the vehicle at $28,000 and sell it for no profit.

Also, you could probably beat their price down to $30k with a bit of negotiating.

(Don't forget also that they have to provide a warranty, where the private seller doesn't).

most car yards i talk to like to make $5000 your not going to make it on old cars but good late models thats usually what there afterjamieson wild cat

It is all about making a quid to survive. The motor trade buys and sells. There has to be a profit margin otherwise there is no point to it. It is all a game. It is up to you if you want to play the game.

How dare a car yard get in first, the same as anyone on earth with a phone and cash could have..

Whats this world coming to when a business can make $ to stay in business.

You can still make a profit without pushing the boundries!
They got in quick and got it for a song so why not pass the on
the good deal to someone else and still make money
without going to the absolute max!

If I can get a good price on a product I'll pass that onto my client
whilst still making a profit.

Im not against making profit .But how much profit does one need before it becomes greed.

A few months ago I was offered a crap trade in price by the main LR dealer for my well maintained Discovery, which I politely told him to shove where the sun don't shine!
A week later he was whinging that I'd shopped his price around to get a better deal, and to cap it all he reckoned I was "unprincipled"!!!!.
This was the very same bloke that gave my son rock bottom for an as new Subaru WRX without a speck of dust even on it " Very hard to move these things now" he said ............ and promptly stuck 10,000 grand on the top and sold it within days. Partly my sons fault of course, shouldn't have been in such a hurry to buy the vehicle he wanted. They have to make a profit to operate, but it's the way it's done which grieves people.
Unprincipled I may be, but I got a darn sight better price by hanging on to my Disco. and selling privately, and by going to country dealer who was delighted to sell a new vehicle at much less than the main dealer.

the car market decreases in value in the secondhand market.The real estate market is very different market.i have never heard of a 2 hand car increase in value by 20%.Also if you notice im not against making profit.
