The dealer will buy from you, make a good profit, and sell it on. So yes, they want to make about 5K on the car... has to pay for their building, overhead, etc. Much better off to sell it yourself. But would be hard, unless you had it repaired and looking nice. Seasonality might be an issue, but doubt it will have an impact in SC. Things are a little slow for Xmas though.... Otherwise, keep in mind that people trust a big fancy business (yes, even a stealership) more than someone they meet in a parking lot.... so you will NOT be able to sell it for the same $$ the dealer can. Nevertheless, fix it up if you can and sell it yourself, maybe slightly cheaper than a dealer would sell so everyone wins. (PS: Keep pictures of the accident damage so you can show prospective buyer how minor it was, if the issue comes up... )
