Beverly Hills Car Club, Bad Economy I Guess? Options

[windforfun]

My car is pristine & 99% stock with only 49K miles. I sent these guys some pics just for the hell of it. Their verbal offer was really sad. These guys are typical horse traders.

And at my age:

Why sell to a dealer? I get that question a lot.

Most of the people who sell to me do it because they want a combination of Peace of Mind, privacy, and speed. What does that mean?

It means you will paid quickly and the funds are available.
It means I won't take a million pictures of your other cars and post them all over the place. I also won't try and aggressively buy all your other cars.

But some dealers are better than others. Many start from the bottom and work their way up if they have to. This can be dangerous because once you piss a seller off it can be hard to recover, you've offended them and their car, more money might not close the deal. I prefer to come with a strong offer that is very close to the top dollar I will pay. As a result I usually get the car. Obviously I make money on it but maybe not always as much as the guy who starts at 50% of his highest offer. But what's 50% of nothing? Because that's what you have if you don't buy the car.

It also comes down to volume, when you call a high volume dealer like BHCC they just start as low as they can and probably don't really care if they buy the car or not.
You also didn't tell us what the car was, so it's hard to determine how sought after the car is.
But bottom line if you want top dollar you aren't going to get it from a high volume dealer, you'll have to put in the work yourself and yes it is work.
