Default Re: Reasonable dealer profit on Used Truck

"Reasonable" is a relative term. However, I very much have a problem with a dealerships taking a vehicle in on trade and giving the person $5,000 and then the next Monday that exact same vehicle is sitting on their lot with a pricetag of $10,000 or more on it.
My father is a mechanic who works for a Ford dealer and lemmie tell you, they put as little money as possible into a vehicle they take in on trade. Other than doing a safety inspection, an oilchange and doing a poor job of detailing the interior; they dont do much to the vehicles they take in.
I personally dont trust dealerships and I think the way they assess value to used vehicles is a bigtime scam.
