D31144 | Or the dealer was quickest to buy it. I've seen a few cars listed in this thread now purchased fast by dealers and then put back on the market for much more. There are specialty dealers using computer programs that scour the net for deals. This is what dealers do and who we are competing with.
Then they charge a doc fee.
Also funny they didn't list it back on usedvictoria...

Why are you guys getting all pissy over a suppose 2.5k profit fora dealership? Dealership have massive overhead. They also have many cars that sits on the lot not selling and depreciating. Minus all of that and the commission for which ever sales finally sold the car they might not net as much as you guys think. They are also able to do deal immediately during business hours and either take chances with not doing PPI or have their own tech do the inspection.
Private sales is so much different than running an actually business. Us hobbyist spot a good deal once in a while, dealership has to do this day in and day out to stay in business. TBH I think it's completely fair markup

TBH I think it's completely fair markup | All true. Dealers also take the risk that something major is wrong with the car and their profits evaporate. I still remember around 1995 my dad bought a 91 Eagle Talon Tsi turbo and on the test drive it was blowing blue smoke. It was for sale at the local Nissan dealer in Victoria. They replaced the turbo prior to the sale which I am sure cut their profit margins.
