The trade in value was more than she bought it for, which was funny because the company that sold it to her (now out of business) didn't mention that it had damage to the headlight assembly and body. Between the "special european oil", the large hungry gas tank and the repairs it needed I think she came out on top with the trade in as well.
The market is so screwed up right now, that a lot of people can trade in their late-model used car for more than they paid for it. Which is not as good as it sounds, because it also costs you that much more to buy another car to replace it!
Exactly. You get a great offer on your trade, but then you have to turn around and buy another car in the same overheated market.
Thankfully new car prices have remained pretty static unless it's a super in demand vehicle with a dealer markup.
With a bump sticker on it. If I had a nickel for every time that dealership offered to trade my venue back, I wouldnt spend money on gas.
