    60 - Should I Quit?
    Apr 19 2023

    Running a dealership is difficult, expensive, and is challenging for me to pull off while maintaining fair prices and keeping customers from overpaying. But it's the only way I can be a one-stop-shop, guaranteeing that my clients avoid getting ripped off elsewhere. As I approach the end of my first year in business, I'm debating next steps, and I'm using this episode to share some insights in hopes of hearing your thoughts on the question of the day: Should I Quit?

    Along the way, you'll learn about some of the expenses dealers incur and how they usually pass those along to their customers. You'll hear why I avoid using some to keep my costs down, as well as the challenges that presents. And in the end, it's all with the hope of hearing your honest feedback on this vital component of The Proper Car.

    Thanks for listening, and I truly look forward to hearing from you soon!

    Buying and selling cars on the private party marketplace has always been one of the best ways to maximize value, but it comes with some inherent risks that keep many from considering it. Unfortunately, that leaves around 50% of car shoppers losing thousands by choosing to trade their car in, and forces buyers to pay dealer markups, expensive fees, and more.

    Thankfully, there are some new solutions emerging, and it seems they may be able to improve some of the biggest issues with the current situation. Today's episode dives into this topic, explaining the pros and cons of the private party marketplace, how the new solutions may prove to be helpful, and some behind the curtain information so you're as informed as possible about how it all works. It could save you a bunch of money and make your life easier, so listen in to learn more!
