So, you’re saying I need 80-120 grams?

Have a clue about what? Please expand upon what you don’t like. Because I don’t appraise my cars at a dealership?

I am very successful flipping cars and making people happy. I use arbitrage to pick up audi’s and BMWs with “rare” options in New jersey/NYC and sell them to people in Upstate New york where they are…

Good to know!

You’re actually delusional. Enjoy.

Whaaaaat?! Really? Damn. Yeah sales tax kills my flipping. That 8% would make all the difference.

Lol ok man, I’m not going to even bother going back and reading everything. Enjoy getting less money? Good job convincing yourself to take less? haha, you literally just got into an internet argument about having less money. Solid.

Exactly

“it’s going to take a private party offer of at least $1-2K more for me to deal with the hassle of doing this myself, because that’s what my time/risk/effort is worth to me.”

I couldn’t agree more, which is exactly what you’re going to get by selling it private party in almost every single scenario.

fair enough

lol ok man, yeah, it’s super hard to look up what values are on CL, autotrader.com, cars.com, kbb.com, cargurus.com, nada.com, carsforsale.com or ebay. Taking your car to car max represents what THEY will give you for it, not what the market for a pricvate sale is.

So not only is it worthless to bring it to them it’s…

I literally acknowledged using it as a baseline in my post.

Good to hear!

You know what, you’re right. I live in NY, and we get the title in hand (although it take forever, like 6 weeks) even with a lien on it. So I guess that would make it easier.

Cool, I guess people don’t mind leaving money on the table. This article was about a person in financial need to liquidate and asset.

I mean I guess if you want to be dramatic about the risk, sure. You can’t get robbed if there’s nothing on you or if you meet in a police parking lot. But hey, however you gotta rationalize it.

Lol, so you lost $1,000 for maybe 2 hours of work. Nice.

Maybe the cars I buy are too old or have too many miles, but I don’t see how you could ever possibly do better selling to a dealer; they are always going to need a margin that will hurt you. The dealerships I worked for were the worst lowball offenders I ever saw. People just do it because they are terrified of cars,…

This.

Lol, whatever you do, don’t take it to a dealership like car max and get smoked for thousands when you can just detail the car and sell it on craigslist in mere days, why waste time getting a baseline when you can just look at what others are selling for on craigslist or ebay anyways?. I flip 3-4 cars per year and…

How would you do that, wouldn’t you have to put it under a load and measure the discharge and divide by time?
