That was my experience too. Or if there’s an issue that’s so bad that it decreases the value of the vehicle to a point and you may not be willing to sell to someone on kijiji even with disclosing the issues. I had a 2002 Ford Taurus station wagon that developed some bizarre electrical and heating issues. Troubleshooting and fixing was going to be far beyond the value of the vehicle and I didn’t feel comfortable selling it privately as I really didn’t know what was wrong. I told the dealer the issues and they were happy to take it as a trade-in and give them some wiggle room on the price of the new vehicle. I figured it was worth about $2K best case scenario and the dealer said they could get $1200 for it at auction. He “gave me” $2700 on the official docs.
