I have a family mechanic and this guy does a lot of auction buying and selling + he has a shop. I asked him today how much would it cost to buy a 94 celica, put on a kit, and do a really good Yellow paint job on it. They guy said I knoww just what you want to make it look hot sporty siny yellow. He said he can get the car for $2,500 on an auction and do the kit and paint job for about $2,000. **** with lowered suspension this should cost me $5,000. Thats the price of a used celica with old paint on it and no kit!!!!!

it has nothign to do with that, Its the fact if the car is any older the 5 years, there not gettign a good enough mark-up on it, as-well as a good enough finance rate.. I know the dealership my pops deisgned, the owner said they get trade-ins, they buy the car so they dont loose the sale withc means they get the financing an extras an such. Then just sell the car to a place the sells used or has auctions, they norm sell them for what they paid maybe a few extra hundred .. but there taking up space on the lot, witch another car could use an make them twice as much. Also at this lot they would be just getting ride of great condition cars that are just 7 years old.. witch to me isnt that old at all.. I tried getting a car from this place for awhile, I just didnt feel like waiting for a car I would have wanted. This post has been edited by Digndoug: Sep 29, 2004 - 2:27 PM |
