He still took a bath on his sale, but just sayin.

True, but the ratios still apply. He said he bought at 85k and sold at 55k after 8 months. I bought an 84k BMW 550 (actually i paid 75k for it) and sold it at 70k after 12 months. My dealer also offered me 55k on trade.
So clearly he wasn't good at capturing value. The bid-ask spread on these cars is 10k-15k. Dealerships make much more money on used cars than new ones. |
Exactly!
That guy got ripped the F off from selling it to a Dealer.
Even more so selling his car to a Merc dealer.
Should always research around before trading it in.
(After conversion)He brought the car for $135k and sold it for $87k. That is a lost of $48k after just 7000 miles. O_O
No car loses that much value after only 7000 miles.
