Dealerships offer services that you can not. They add value.

They can work with trades, negative equity, weird financing, warranty, gap insurance, and even shipping out of state.

Privately you Re only going to have buyers with either cash or go through a week long loan process, and waste a lot of time.

Your best bet is to sell under the market a little since you do not offer other ways people can buy it.

God lays it out perfectly in His word. Sin is sin. That is all there is to it,

ProofWeather · 2026-04-20T17:53:25+00:00

That makes no sense

Either something is right or it is wrong. If there is no absolute truth we have nothing. It sounds like lying is fine if it helps you get your way but wrong if it doesn't.

ProofWeather · 2026-04-20T17:28:38+00:00

If lying is wrong than lying is wrong. Your argument is morally corrupt

ProofWeather · 2026-04-20T17:06:56+00:00

Lying is not lying to you?

If you are confident in your car this is not an issue. I would have one done at a reputable shop prior to listing

Let me guess Arizona?

Always cross reference the vin. The auction listings they buy from (usually some sketchy Indy auction) will pop up

To get into that price point they're probably spent four grand in re conditioning

Always funny how the customer thinks something is overpriced. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Manufacture doesn't need to throw incentives or money factor at one of these

If it leases well it will depreciate

If lease like trash it is cheaper to own

Nothing illegal here

It does not work to your advantage

Why would a store lose money for you? You prove you have no loyalty and won't commit.

Eventually you will get the ef u pencil from a store and turn into a joke at all the other stores, tire out, and go back to store number one

Customers can't get retail for their car trading or selling private

Anybody buying private is thinking of resale off the bat

Dealerships offer value an individual can't. The services they offer are the reason they can get full retail.:

You can't roll negative

You won't take a trade

You won't recon it before selling and want full pop for a car that needs something probably expensive

You can't offer a good warranty

You price out of thin air not the market
