My truck is for sale on autotrader and I keep getting calls from people that work for brokerage companies that "have people that may be intersted in purchasing my truck". Has anyone ever used one of these companies? So far they are all the calls I've been getting and I really need/want to get rid of this truck. I just don't want to get sucked into something and end up having to pay hundreds to sell it. Any info would be appreciated.

 

I would like to know also... i got a call from one, and they told me that i would have to pay them $500 up front then they would get what i wanted for my truck

 

They don't have anybody lined up to buy your truck. They just want your money.

What kind of sales pitch would be: "Well, we don't have anybody interested in your truck yet, but give us $500 and we'll see what we can do."

 

HAHA thats what i thought.... thats why i said no...

 

Oh yes I’m sure they can get you “over market” money for your truck too.

Once they graduate from telemarketing they’ll be selling vacuum cleaners door to door in order to make their Tercel payments.

 

Ouch, the last Tercel was made in 1999, so could you imagine having bought one back then and financed it for 8+ years.

My first car was a Tercel, but I had no payments. It was a 1984 hatchback that I bought from the neighbor for $450 and re-assembled.

 

Well a 1999 Tercel would probably be beyond their means anyway. I think a 1988 Yugo (on a 20 year adjustable loan) is more appropriate for their station in life.

 

i had a broker sell my old jeep. he was a friend of my grandfather and owed him a few favors so he did it for free. he was a moron tho. if i had to do it again i would try to sell it myself

 

I kept getting those calls too the last time I had something listed in Autotrader, they are annoying as hell.

Just tell them the same thing I told them, "It's great that you have someone interested, you can buy it from me and sell it to them and you can make some money too... Unless you want to purchase it quit calling me"
