How how do second hand car traders make money?

  • Answer:

    Car dealers buy at "dealer only auctions " where they pay much lower prices thasn you can buy for. The difference between what they pay for a car, and what they sell it for, is their profit, less the costs of running their business, like rent on the car lot property, electrical use, heating, and employees wages, plus the cost of repairing and cleaning the cars that they buy at the auction. On a 2006 used car, a used car dealer may make $ 2,000 to $4,000, in profit , after all his costs are deducted. Dealers want to sell a number of cars each week, and they make the profit on the "volume of cars sold " not on the money from a individual sale. Jim B. Toronto.
