say you own a 2006 model fwd import, and its a decently popular model
you paqid cash for it, in full and now all you want to do is bail on it and take the $ you can get…
are there any dealers that would write you a check for trade in value ?
maybe a used car lot that would do it ?
please dont ask why, lol. all im saying is its a 2006 model that was 26000 new, 21000 dealer retail (min) and 19500 trade in value (min)
maybe if you were trading it in for something, i always wondered this myself though
I would imagine that you would get even less than trade in.
car has less then 1700 miles on it … and its only last years model, so this bish wouldnt be hard for the dealership to sell … which is why i ask
try the dealership you bought it from.
Why not just sell it outright to get the most money back from it
holy shit, correction … its a 2007 model with under 1700 miles, lol …
and its not my car… so its not like i can just try to return it
what is wrong with it?
um, theres a couple bugs stuck to the front … like 3 rocks chips in the front … maybe a door ding someplace
nothings wrong with it … but the person im asking for is trading his car for this car, and will need the money from selling this car to pay of the loan on the car hes giving the guy
:wtf:
I’d be very surprised if you find a place that will do that. My fiance’s mother looked into “returning” a car once. She bought with my fiance for my fiance based on safety, then shortly thereafter found reports that your right leg is likely to get injured in an accident so she freaked. :bloated: Can’t really blame her for being a safety nut though. She works at Children’s so she sees kids effed up in car accidents every day. Oops, back on topic. The idea of “returning” or selling back the car seemed absurd and they would only consider a trade. Similar to your situation. Wanting to sell an almost brand new car back to the dealership and not necessarily wanting a trade.
Anyhow, uh, yeah you’re going to have to sell it yourself if you want to avoid as much loss as possible.
I still have to wonder wtf. 1700 miles on an '07 and whoever owns it wants to ditch it already? Talk about throwing money down the drain. I’m sure there’s more to it than that, but it sounds like an unfortunate financial situation for the car owner.
Haha wow, read that 3 times and still didn’t follow it. Anyhow, in general the only way to get maximum value for any used (as in has had a title assigned to it) car is to sell it yourself. It doesn’t matter that the car is almost brand new. It is now and forever a used car.
I’ve heard ads for a few, most won’t. They can get the same car at auction (after it was traded in) for far less. If he’s in a hurry, take it to a few local dealers and get quotes, it will be much less than trade in due to the fact that you aren’t putting that money back into the dealership.
my friend is taking advantage of a deal that was offered to him, this dude wants to give my friend his 2007 car for a 2001 model car worth 1/2 as much
if the dude wants to throw money away, who are we to stop him ?
Gotcha. Interesting situation. You’re saying he basically needs to get cash in a hurry for the '07? Might as well make some phone calls to dealers. If it were me I wouldn’t bother talking to anyone but the sales manager in this sort of a unique situation. GLWS, I think.
im guessing that even tho there is still a lein on the 2001, that the kid will just ignore it, hes obviously not that bright. but since my friend has no intention of driving the 2007 it would be nice to just dump it and get whatever he can for it
its not like hes gonna loose $ on the deal, its just a matter of how much hes gonna profit here … its looking like a decently easy $10,000 profit after the loan on the 2001 is paid off
this is borderline theft, lol
Local non-franchised dealership bought my maxima and paid good money for it.
Look into some places that will sell on consignment. I know some local private used car dealerships do it.
I sold a pick up to a dealership, got a good buck for it, GSXs mom sold her FX35 back for what she owed on it which was a good price…all depends on the car I suppose.
Carmax down here buys cars…but im sure they won’t give you what you want for it
try Al Maroone Ford
