You ever trade a car in that is such a pile of junk that you actually feel sorry for the dealership? Goodbye Jeep GC, hello Toyota 4Runner.

No, car salesman and dealers steal daily from customers and make them feel good about it.

I traded my 2003 tundra in with 278k. It was whipped. Got 2k with new floor rubber mats
call it what you will...he is not definitely not anywhere near the top of the list for QB's that I would choose needing a FG or touchdown drive late in the game.

With a Jeep GC, they most likely know what they are getting into. Congrats on the 4Runner.

278k...sheesh this one is a pile at 60k. Think the tranny is on its way out. Heck, I figure they'll just auction it off and pass the problem to someone else. I'm pretty giddy about the expectation that I won't be visiting the dealership every 6 months to get something fixed. ![[Linked Image]](https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/atvconnection.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-img_20191223_172055288_hdr_29d5c40c16b2001c3155f27a2558695f02c089ef.jpg)

Ive honestly never traded a vehicle. Sold one before I bought another. I did feel kinda bad when I sold a pair of Honda Shadows to a young couple to buy my Harley. The girl totalled one when dhe hit a coyote and her husband wasn't with her because the starter wasn't working on the other.

Don't worry about the dealer, worry more about the poor sucker they over charge for it.

Don't worry about the dealer, worry more about the poor sucker they over charge for it.
If it's not too old, with only 60K the next buyer can get an extended warranty. If it doesn't blow up in the first 30 days or first 1,000 miles then they might be OK. Of course they will pay far too much for it if they buy from a dealer.
If you continue to have remorse, then please direct it at the low income person with poor math skills that will be driving any high milage vehicle that gets traded in such as the above mentioned Tundra. Most likely someone will end up paying a tote the note dealer $400 a month or more to drive it until it gets repo’d, and the next person will give the dealer another down payment and start making payments of $400 per month. This cycle will continue until the vehicle is totaled in an accident. Even if it drops a tranny a dealer will have the cheapest repair done as possible to keep the $400/month coming in for as long as possible. The tote the note dealer will in all likelihood end up making a net profit between $12,000 to $18,000 when it’s all said and done on a car that's only worth $4-$6K if you were to buy from an individual.
Far too many preowned dealers will spend $100 on a showroom fresh detail to make it shine like new, clear any engine codes and pay an unscrupulous shop $20 extra to pass inspection. They might pop a few dents, top off the oil but they certainly will not change it. Any repair expense and a large part of the acquisition cost they have in the vehicle will be covered by the low income person’s down payment. For the most part, it’s a deplorable business.
Low income individuals that can afford $400 per month for a payment would be so much better off to take the Dave Ramsey approach and save up their money and pay cash for a sub $2,000 vehicle, drive it for a year while continuing to save the $400 per month they would otherwise be paying to the deplorable dealer. Then in a year they would have $4,800 plus another $1800 or more from selling the fully depreciated vehicle they have been driving for the last year to spend on a better preowned car or truck from an individual. Repeat this for another year or so and they will end up with a dependable, paid off vehicle.
