This one car yard had the same model Pathfinder on their lot for $29,990. My mate's one was a bit rough, had a small ding in the rear 1/4, probably would of cost around $1000 to fix. Anyway my mate saw a Expensive Daewoo WB Statesman hidden up the back of the lot. Looked like a drive car of one of the salesmen or maybe it had just come in because it hadn't been detailed. We enquired what changeover price they could do. The salesman went through the usual farce of going to consult the boss and scribbling figures on a bit of paper at the same time madly punching calculator buttons. After a few minutes he came back and said if we give him the Pathfinder and $10,000 we could have the Statesman! Statos were only worth about $6K at the time, maybe $8K for a mint-low-mile job-only-driven-on-Sundays-by-little-old-lady. My mate figured $20K would of been a reasonable trade in figure for the Pathfinder considering the dent, not pay the car yard to take it!←mwhahahh they'll try anything !!!!

I traded a car in for 21k FoMoCo dealer had it for 27k 3 days later...What did you expect mate? Its business, people have to make money Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32670-sold-car-to-broker/page/2/#findComment-499695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
