it's a gorgeous car but $43,000 seems like a lot for a 5 year old car with over 70k km. Plus, it seems like Audi's don't really hold their value compared to BMW. That being said, if you like the car and think it's a good value then you should go for it.

The heated seats in these are awesome for the winter, I've got a bypass module from mine sitting here someone can have for free if they want to put a remote start in it. Remote start + heated seats = heaven.

its about right. a 2013 M3 was MSRP new about the same as the RS5 and theyre same prices in the market 5 years later as a pre owned car.


I brought the RS5 in on trade because a local car guy missed getting into an M car.... (he's owned quite a few) and decided the Audi just wasn't for him.

Isn’t it a conflict of interest to buy a customers car and sell it personally? If I was the sales manager there I’d be pissed.

No i think it's common practice but probably just looks bad for the dealership if the buyer/public finds out.

Besides, I think the dealership probably would rather have cash than to have a 15+ year old car in their lot.

I don't think so, dealership makes tonnes of money off selling trade-ins... if salespeople started sloughing them off into their own side deals the dealership loses that money.

Either way, hope this guy feels proud for ripping off a clueless old man.

The dealership sold the car to the guy, they made that choice. You and I do not know if any stipulations existed on that sale. For all we know the employee at dealer explicitly told his management his intentions. Employees at dealers often pick up cars for great deals then flip them for a profit. The dealer made what they wanted. In the dealer world that is called a wholesale unit. A dealer took it in just to sell something and want nothing to do with it on the retail side of things.

Ripping someone off? You are saying you consider selling a car for a profit ripping someone off? Someone works in the industry, had the means to get a good deal that the general public doesn't have access too and decides to use that position to make a profit. I'm failing to see how that is ripping someone off. If someone is willing to pay the money they choose to make that decision.

I know someone who works at a dealership and anything too old/too high mileage to be finance-able is sold to a wholesaler for peanuts, it's probably easier for them to just sell it to one of their own guys. They make a lot off of trades but a 92 Accord isn't going to be making them anything.

The way it was written, it sounds like two different scenarios:

Cuz anyone else with knowledge of pricing or car values in general would have advised the old guy he could sell his car for X... not sat there like a Cheshire Cat waiting for him to sign over the papers on something slightly over a book value offer.

This dude had no intentions on keeping the car, threw 100kms on it and flipping it for 3x what he got it for. Lame.

We lambast flippers all the time on here... but just cuz he works at a dealer it's somehow less scummy? If anything I'd say it's worse to use a competitive advantage and withhold knowledge from a customer to gain an upper hand and profit off them, but hey, you do you.

I worked at a Toyota dealer on the island and it was the same deal with wholesale cars. A mechanic and his son always bought the older cars that were not going to be put on the lot. He would buy them, fix them up on the weekend and put them up for sale with 1k profit or whatever he could get. Management was well aware and didn't care. They just wanted them gone.

It's really a matter of how the deal went down and ethics.

If the seller was sick of putting time and money into it and would otherwise scrap it, anything over what a scrap truck would give him is a bonus. Some people just don't care or have time to deal with a 30yo car and just want the problem to go away.

If the buyer swooped in, hearing that the bill for repairs wasn't worth it to the customer, then proceeded to give him a sob story about his pregnant gf, taking the bus to work, to medical bills for their kid with cancer.....well, that's a different story.
