i can tell all i need to know about that dealership just by looking at how shiny the tires and engine bay on the listed car are.. they are a used car dealership that polishes turds to a high luster and sells them for more than they are worth.

A quick check on AutoTrader shows 12 of the same car he is advertising within 75 miles of me. All right around the same price they are asking, so it seems like they are in line with what they are worth....

asking price does not equal value.. and i'll never buy a used car with really shiny tires or a too clean engine bay. i know people that get paid to polish those turd to a high luster, and i've heard stories.

How dare they clean up the cars before selling them!

In da bad old days, dealerships would get a car with leaky whatevers, clean the engine bay with a pressure washer then spray that shiny lacquer crap everywhere. The shiny crap not only made it look good under the hood, it would stop oil leaks.

For a couple hundred miles.
