   Right on...  But remember, there's really nothing evil about the fact   
   that dealers need to buy at wholesale and sell at retail.  Dealerships   
   are businesses, but we don't have to accept a wholesale price.   
      
   Accept it, sell your car yourself, and save money.   
      
   Another take:  I deal with a credit union.  I buy my new car, they   
   finance 100%.  I then sell the old one, and the CU rewrites the loan   
   for the difference after I pay down the loan with the proceeds from   
   the sale. .  I probably pay $20-30 in additional interest, due to the   
   higher 100% finance interest rate for a month or two, and it's all   
   very stress-free.
