Well Harold, sorry I can't give you any PA specific info.



I think I can shed a little light on the situation, since my wife sells cars here in SD.

By the way, I told her 02 Honda Civic with 128k and a dent in the door and she said " any dealer can give you $1000 for that, unless the interior is trashed" proof of the timing belt being replaced would be a plus too.

From my experience, the markup on used vehicles is insane. Being my wife sells cars, (and very well I might add) we get "employee pricing" on any vehicles traded in to her dealership. Usually this is $500-1000 over what the dealership has into the vehicle.

I've bought 2 pickups this way. My 1ton was priced at $16k, I got it for $11k. Mind you, that was $1000 over what they had into it.

Did the same with my 3/4 ton Chevy.

I can't even tell you how many times she comes home and says I made $2000 on one sale today!

What I'm trying to get at is that dealership will give you $250 for yours, and sell it for $2500!!!
