- Teever 7y agoWait, are you saying that private used car sale is illegal in your state?
- travbrack 7y agoNo, private car sales are legal as long as the seller isn't trying to make a profit off the car.
- Teever 7y agoLike if they try and sell it for more than they paid for it? What if they end up selling it for more than it is estimated to be worth in something like blue book? Is that considered profit?
- travbrack 7y agoYeah.
- exolymph 7y agoThat seems like an insane restriction on what you can do with your private property. What are they trying to protect against? People peddling lemons? There must be a better way.
- travbrack 7y agoI think what happened was auto dealerships successfully lobbied the state congress to raise the barrier to entry so they had less competition from private sellers.
