Question for any car salesman here (or others in the know)

Woman goes to car dealer to look for a used car. Salesman says "you won't qualify for ours but I'll sell you mine for $3400." He does sell her the car (but delivers no door or trunk key and the car has issues).
Question: Are car dealers ok with their employees selling their own cars to potential customers of the dealership?
Woman paid $3400 in cash so she could probably have floated a note for a better car.
I've represented a lot of employers - generally they would frown on this type of side deal.

I hope the guy was fool enough to sell it on their property.
That's pretty much frowned upon, yes.

I'm going out on a limb to say dealerships frown on that.
That being said, on what planet would buying a personal car off a dealership guy sound like a good idea? Literally the biggest benefit of private sales is the other person usually isn't experienced on the selling end.

Honestly, it's probably a car that the dealership gives to the salesman. That dealership is still making money off of it. I think that rep is just blowing smoke up her arse making you think she got a good deal or really wanted to get rid of that car.

This is a nice senior citizen.
He sold it to her at his house when he left the job.

Must've been a shitty sales guy

Oh, I thought you meant she bought it at the dealership. Well then I'm guessing that's certainly frowned upon.

He's flipping cars on the side.

Yeah should get him fired. Tell him either give me my money back or I go to your boss and tell him you wouldn't sell any vehicles on the lot and convinced me to buy his.
Once you've got your money back, go tell his boss anyway.

I'm assuming it would still be massively frowned upon, but I don't know the other details. Maybe the car is worth more than the amount he charged, and he was just being a nice guy.
