who buys used cars

Ah, the eternal question: who exactly swoops in to buy your beloved, slightly battered used car? Well, the usual suspects include private buyers looking for a bargain, car dealerships eager to resell at a profit, and sometimes those mysterious auto recyclers or exporters. Private buyers often hunt on sites like Tradingpost or CarShowroom, seeking a steal. Dealers, of course, offer the convenience but might not be as generous on the price. Then there are businesses buying for fleet use or parts, and of course, the odd enthusiast who sees potential in your old heap. So, plenty of buyers out there—just depends how much effort you want to put in!
