Instead of responding to a thread, I decided to create this thread so everyone could share his own experience concerning this issue. Why not to negotiate the sell of your car with a car dealer??? I just can't tolerate the legal theft! :mad:
My friend will get married the following months, so a week ago we went to a car dealer to negotiate the sell of his EK9 being in very good condition, stock, 80000 km mileage. Btw, the dealer had an EK9 ready for sale there......Anyway, the dealer could not accept to pay above 5000 CYP = $10000 after a lengthly negotiation. He was claming all the usual excuses you already know, like, that's how thinks are...........its a 10 year old car..........:blabla::blabla:
Anyway, my friend asked him how much would sell the EK9 the dealer had already there just to see what kind of excuses he would use to raise its value(stock, 120000 km in worse condition......) and the he said 8700 CYP chewing his words a bit....... :blabla:(it was already registered with numbers plate) He was not willing to sell it below 8500 CYP saying that's how "WE" sell this car.......:blabla:
Finally, my friend made him an interesting question: "What if I accept your $10000 offer and sell it to you, how much you would sell it back to me a month later??? (with a smile)". He laughed with some kind of embarrasment and claiming a phone call he left rushed for a couple of minutes (he said!!) After a quarter of no signs of his, we left......FAGGOT!! :lol:
 
its a business, what did you expect? trade in value is the lowest value of a car, its always best to sell it privately.
 
I agree private sales are the best way to sell your car and get approx. the amount you're after,

but your car-less until you find your next car :nerv:
 
totally agree. . ! Dealers do SUCK! :mad:

EXCUSE ME,,,,:angry2:. I actually advise people after a px on any of my cars to sell private. I also offer to take a deposit and wait for my customers to sell private. Just to save them money.

I do kind of understand, used car dealers do really take the piss. Especially if the customer is oblivious to car prices.

Oh where is CYP ????

calm down its generally speaking... iam sure most second hand car dealers dont share the same enthusiasm towards Honda's etc as you... and r there for the money it being their jobs.

[Oh where is CYP ????] - what do u mean by this?

CYP is the coin of my country, Cyprus, CYP is Cyprus Pounds and is equivalent to English Sterling. 1 CYP = 1 Sterling = 2 dollars. There are some cents difference though :D
