I have a mate who saw Top Gear about once and he says that it costs some classy car dealers around £1000 to get rid of unwanted part exchange cars. and that if you ask them right they will sell them to you for not very much money at all. I disagree; I don't see why a car dealer would not take the opportunity to make even a few hundred quid. Is my friend right? And if he is, how do I go about claiming one of these old cars for myself?

I'm looking at buying a used car that costs too much, in my opinion. Since the 2009's are coming, i was wondering if that's when car dealers reduce the price of their used cars. If not then, what does it happen?

I am 2 years into a 5-year car loan and no longer upside down on its value. The Kelly Blue Book says its trade in value is $13,625, and I owe 11,509. I would like to use the 2 thousand in equity towards a new car. The two dealers I have gone to have said that they no longer go by what KBB says it is worth. They are firmly offering me just 11,500 for amy trade in. Am I missing something? The car is in pristine condition; no stains, scratches, very shinny paint. Very cute Manual transmission Mazda 3. I am only trading in because our family is growing. Another thing, can someone explain how a trade in can affect the taxes you have to pay in California. They are using some mumbo jumbo to confuse me. The 13,625 is the KBB trade in value. Private resale value is in the 15,000. Thank you for all the great help. ; )

I want to know what exactly do you need to get a car dealers license in new york? what are the minimum requirements? I would like to be able to buy cars at dealers auctions wholesale. any info would be appreciated, thanks!
