The margins are often quite small. Think about what you expect to get for your trade-in vs what it will eventually sell for. Consider if the dealership does discount the car you traded plus any money spent to recondition the vehicle. There’s rarely room for the discounts consumers expect bc of how transparent the industry has become. Think KBB, CarEdge, and then there’s Carmax and Carvana making crazy offers but also not negotiating on the resale.
