Fred Had a VW Passat To Trade In

This is a 1999 VW Passat.

It’s owner, Fred, was offered a trade-in price that was pretty low on a newer German luxury car.

I can understand why car dealers offer low trade-in prices.

This is why:

The margin the dealer would have made in the sale is now being used up by a car he has traded.

Which means to make any money, he has to sell ANOTHER car.

Selling cars is not an easy business.

Have you ever had to sell a car fast?

You can take photos, write up a good pitch, pay some money for advertising…

Then wait.

And sometimes, wait and wait and wait.

All the time whilst people make appointments to come and see your car for sale and don’t turn up.

People are funny when buying used cars.

Courtesy sometimes goes out the window.

They may not phone or even text to let you know they have bought another car.

Even when they were scheduled to turn up at 8am on Saturday morning.

It’s the nature of the car sales beast!

In this case, I offered Fred $200 more than the trade-in price he was quoted.

I came when I said I would and did the deal with the minimum of paperwork being filled out.

A Qld Transport “Vendor’s Statement” to transfer the ownership.

It’s the nature of the car sales beast!

It took us about 10 minutes.

I paid cash via our Commonwealth Bank “Kaching” app straight away and drove the car out of the driveway back to Brisbane.
