Yep and that is what will happen to many that get told they will give top dollar for a trade in at a dealership. Half the cars traded into dealerships end up at auction or places like Carvana anyway. They don't really want the used cars unless they are top sellers they just want you to buy new and getting you to trade is a good tactic.
The funny part is now they will sell it for $22K and there will be people screaming that they are getting ripped off since they are trying to find a cheap used one. One way or another one group is going to lose
