Avoid Dealer Markups and Maximize Your Car’s True Value

Sell Privately, Buy Smarter, and Keep Thousands in Your Pocket
If you’ve ever traded in a vehicle at a dealership, here’s a secret the industry doesn’t want you to know: most dealerships don’t care about your feelings—they care about their bottom line.
At large dealer groups, trades are routed through internal systems like Flow Inventory. That means every vehicle goes to the “right” dealership: Fords go to Ford, Toyotas to Toyota, Chevys to Chevy. On the surface, this seems organized—but the reality is that your trade-in is often undervalued.
Dealerships typically leave only $4,500 in front-end gross and $4,500 for reconditioning. Meanwhile, vehicles under 60,000 km and still under factory warranty can sell for $8,000–$10,000 or more. That’s thousands lost simply by trading in.
