Used Car Pricing?

Used Car Pricing?
2

• Rarely a day goes by that I dont get a
  telephone call or email from one of my customers 
  inquiring about a used car.  Everyone seems to be
  looking for a used car or knows someone who is. 
  Being a used car dealer allows me into the world
  of dealer only auctions and factory off lease
  events.  But I am more of a spectator than a
  player.  I head out to the Toronto Auto Auction
  once every couple of months hoping to pick
  something up to satisfy one of the many requests
  for vehicles.

• On almost every instance I come home with my
  tail between my legs.   My problem is always
  the price differential of what I see vehicles
  being listed on Kijiji and Autotrader  and what
  they are selling for at the auction.  More
  specifically, the lack of price differential.

• Used car dealers are so desperate to move
  product and generate a little bit of income that
  they are selling cars at or just above their
  cost.   Why would they do this you ask?  Its all
  in the fees.. the 395 administration fee, the
  495 Safety fee and  of course there are the
  payouts that are generated from placing the
  potential purchaser  with the highest risk
  finance company and warranty company.

• I cant compete, I dont offer financing, I
  carry the load of the warranty internally and I
  dont charge admin or safety fees which always
  makes my (realistic) price of my car look
  higher.  Next time you look at a used car on the
  internet, please keep in mind that this is rarely
  the out the door price.
