Ask me anything about buying/selling cars. - Page 2 - BBV4Life -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

on average by how much to wind the odometer back on 2nd hand cars?

dealer servicing is a rort, comment? (eg why do i always need new windscreen wiper blades at every service)

also every addon a dealer tries to sell you is a rort, yes/no?
1) extended warranty
2) paint protection
3) rust protection
4) finance
5) fabric protection

Have you ever hit on a customer when taking them for a test drive?

GOD DAMN! they are tring to kill someone on that thing. I can buy a 99 Boxster with 90k at the auction for about $8800, a good deal on that car would be no more then $9,500 up to $10,000 if its real clean.

Have a mechanic check it out first, those Boxsters can be a nighmare if they have been driven real hard...

What make (and model if necessary) of vehicle from the last 5 years are coming to your store in the best condition on average? Basically, I'm looking for a used car from the last few years and am wondering what my best reliable option would be...

It depends on how much $$$ you want to spend... You can get a real nice 05 BMW 645CI coupe with 56k miles & under BMW warranty to 100k miles for about $29,000! I am 6'6 and my penis fits in this car great! lol

Can you find me an M3 CSL below 5k mileage? How much is it?

I'm willing to go trough the hassle of shipping if from US to Europe because here aren't any or they're ridiculously overprized.

do used car places ever sell for a loss in order to ditch inventory and/or hit some sort of quota?

oh yeah, please be answering the "have your every knowingly sold a lemon" question. if yes, do you believe it was the purchasers own fault for not doing enough research on the car (not checking carfax, ignoring carfax, etc)?

I'm looking to buy a VW Golf GTI. I don't want to wait until August to buy the 2011 model that's coming to North America then (I think?). I would be perfectly happy with a certified pre-owned GTI, except 2009 was the the first year of the 5th gen GTI, so anything before then is 4th gen and not really a very good car, imo.

Any advice? Truecar tells me dealer invoice on a 2010 GTI (2-door with DSG transmission) is something like $23.5K. How much do I save if I go for a 2009 model, and is it worth it (meaning, I like new cars 'cuz I'm an idiot like that, but I'll go for an '09 if it's significantly better value)?

Thanks.
