Guest AlCapone Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I am not one but why would you not sell to a dealer ? Sell to whoever you can get the money from as I see it.Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drnittler Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 In my experience dealers try to "low ball" you. I did all the work with the car why should they make money from me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermontboy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The dealer is indeed going to make money if they purchase your car. But the dealer may offer you more than you can get trying to sell it yourself if he has a customer looking for that particular car. Many buyers will pay a premium to buy from a dealer, especially one they have bought from before. And there are buyers who will NOT buy from a private party due to all the recent registration and title problems cropping up. Many buyers will not pursue cars advertised without at least a brief description and pictures - I am one of them. No matter how much I wanted a 1929 Chevrolet Sport Coupe I would not respond to an ad without at least a picture and description. I bought my first antique car in 1961 and have learned over the years that it isn't worth the time and frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 your bottom line price should be established when you list the car. That price should be the same for a butcher, baker, candlestick maker or dealer. Once you get your price what does it matter if the dealer marks it up ? You are not compelled to accept a lower price just because a dealer is involved. If he gets more it just means that he is a better salesman than you are !Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drnittler Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I guess you all have more faith in dealers than I do. Anyway to each their own. As for posting with pictures, If I can figure out how to get my pictures on this site, I'll post them. I've tried but the site says my files are too large...

I've tried but the site says my files are too large...GIMP (free) is one software package that can be used to reduce the size of pics. Open the file of interest and then export it as jpg, selecting about 20% on the "Quality" slider. That should get you to about 500K on the file size.
