i dont see the issue with it. they are car dealers after all, and a business which needs to make money - they offer warranty etc on it whereas the private sale doesnt

its like saying you've never bought anything cheap then sold it on for a profit?

lol...typical stealers... talk it up, mark it up..This also demonstrates the power of a decent advert with decent pictures... Always remember to polish in about another £1000 of value too...The original seller made the car look it had been used on a farm...
Also i bet it was purchased for a fair bit less than the advertised price.

That's the name of the game and a warranty has to be applied which could cost well in excess of 1k if something goes wrong.

I don't see a problem, its marked up by 1K, and they'll need to provide some sort of warranty on it also.
Plus they've cleaned it up too.

Just saying that's reason I personally don't by from a trader as they buy a cheap car then sell it for a mark with just a basic clean.
