Tips on Buying Cars - Paying too much


Expert: Ray Paulsen - 7/13/2008

Question
Hello,


I have question. I was going over my contract and it says:

Gross trade in                        6900
less pay off made by seller  10000

equal net trade in (Minus)  -3100


Why is it the net trade in minus and positive? It seems trading in my car added to the price.

Thank you,

Elena

Answer
Hi Elena

The way I read it, you were allowed $6,900 for trade but owed $10,000 which leaves a negative $3,100 which has been added to the purchase price.
If this is not the answer you been looking for then send me a copy of your bill of sale, and make sure you check the " make private box " when sending

PS... If you dont want to disclose your name and address and vehicle details simply dont copy the top portion.
