New Selling Trick Toyota Dealers Are Using

ive purchased a brand new honda accord with 80 miles on it. it was a 6MT so i guess a handful of people just wanted to take it for a spin

 

I'm confused as to the logic:
I'm a dealer, so I "pretend" to sell a vehicle to a fictional character or worse, I buy it retail. I do this so the new buyer doesn't get the rebate or financing ??? You know, the two things that HELP ME SELL VEHICLES .

I then "mark it up" so it cost more than my dealership paid (brand new) and the new buyer of this (now) used vehicle gets zero rebates and not so great factory financing. You know, two things that make selling the vehicle MORE DIFFICULT.

Beyond absurd. Seriously.
