They buy from people in need as well.

I debated on selling them my F150. They offered me 17k and I told them to go fuck themselves.

It got totaled ~4 years later and I got a bit over $17k.

So the people that need cash will bend over. Those too stupid to shop around (marketing works as well) will overpay.

Almost everyone I know falls in love with a car or house when they're buying because it's such a huge purchase. For me I'm only in love if it's a good deal. That's one thing my parents certainly taught me well (thanks!).
