Question type: Car Selling & Trading In
I am selling my car, how can I tell if a used car salesman is trying to buy it only
to mark it up and sell it again for profit ? I had a person that I asked 3 times if
he was a used car salesman, he never answered yes or no, just kept trying to
get the price lower, very aggravating.

How can you tell if a used car salesman is trying to buy your car just to mark it up for a profit? They all are; it's their business. Besides, what difference does that make to you. You know what your car's worth because you researched it, didn't you? You know what you want for the car; just don't accept low-ball offers... Anyone who's smart will haggle a lot to get a better price.
Then turn him away, it’s still your car and you don’t have to sell it to him, especially with the way used car prices are spiking, it’s a sellers market. Set your price and stick with it.
Always ask for more than you want to get. Then when the buyer talks you down they'll think they got a good deal and you'll get what you want for the vehicle. Once a vehicle is sold it's gone and you can't control what the new owner does with it. It's no longer yours so who cares if they drive it for ten years or crash it into a tree a week later. Not your problem or concern. That's what selling and moving on is all about! Good luck to you! Jim
