What's the trick or secret to trading cars?

Question

I hear ppl all the time tell me that you don't get what they really tell you? What's up with that?

Answer 1

Well, it depends on your situation of what your trading the condition and what your looking at into getting, (New or Used)

Basically I'll lay out an expeirence for you...

I was going to buy a truck last year for, 17,900...I'm sure you've heard of wholesale value, (Bottom Dollar) Well it was about 15, something on that truck...

Well a car I had that I wanted to trade was fairly new and they were going to give me on "paper" 10K, Well if you minus out the price your paying over on the truck b/c it's not worth that 17,900..that's just top retail condition b/c you can find cars wholesale or close to it usually from private sellers instead of dealers.

Anyway take the truck price minus it from wholesale and apply it to what they "say" they are giving you..Basically instead of 10K I was going to get a little over 8K for my car.

So they know how to work the magic you could say, especially if you don't watch what they are doing in paper work, I have ran across a dealer, running the price up 300-400 bucks and calling it processing fees and c**p that's just a way to get more money! Scam!

I would try and sell and not trade. Good luck
