re: Car Dealerships Just Can't Help Them Selves

Once they accepted it, what costs have they since incurred to own the vehicle, list it, insure it... What about all of the other indirect overhead that needs to be considered. They also don't operate as a charity, so it's understood that anything they sell would have a profit margin associated with it

All true.

But if they are listing it for $5,500, that tells me they aren't serious about needing to sell it. And if they can let it sit on the lot, then the carrying costs must not be much.

As others have said, I'd be curious if this dealer has similar issues on other cars on the lot, or if they maybe just mispriced this vehicle.

At this price, you are basically acting as a "buy here, pay here" type lot.
