A used car dealerships may also involve giving of a new car in exchange for an old car. A car dealer makes a profit by buying an old car at a low price and selling that car to the customers at a comparatively high price. The other sources of earning for a car dealer are by the sale of accessories, exchange cases, providing service, and commission through a bank loan. Note that in case you are selling a car to the car dealer because of non-ability to repay the loan, the car dealer does not pay the loan.
