What am I missing

I would appreciate some help.

I have a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport with 146000 kms on it for trade in.... I do have a dent on the front plastic bumper they say is $2k to fix. OK.

I see other Tacos of the same year and trim with 196000 kms for sale at $29k.

I am looking to purchase a car for $16k. With an added $3000 in a cheque from them to me.

I live in BC Canada so the sales tax is 12%

How does this math make sense?

Shouldn't I just sell my truck myself for $27k and save a pile of cash?

Any help is appreciated

TIA

First Car Sales Job, at Porsche

Hey everyone, to sum up my situation the best way I can. I worked for a catering company 3 years ago, with that I got a job running the cafe at a Porsche Dealership. 2 years ago I was offered a Product Specialist position and worked hard to familiarize myself with the brand and be as dependable as possible. I just got the position in sales I been working towards at the beginning of September.
I’m pretty comfortable with my knowledge in the product and brand. My managers know I get along with people but they remind me I have to go from being a helper to a closer and I understand what they mean.
I say all this to say it is all very new to me, its my first sales job, and car sales job at that. Im not very polished in the sales flow so I would really appreciate whatever type of advice or insight you can offer, tips on closing or just your story and what helped you get good. Thanks in advance!

Need advice ASAP!

My situation is pretty tough rn, I work as a gig driver in LA, recently got my car repossessed(couldn’t afford payments anymore), and it was the only source of income for me, have no savings, no family to help, the only thing I need is to get a cheap car for cash as quickly as possible to continue work, tried to get a loan but was not approved several times because of bad credit, tried to text sellers on marketplace to get car and make payments for it after but no one want to deal with that, who was in the same situation, what did you do?

Honda wants an answer

Help, would you go with Honda or Toyota? Honda wants an answer by tomorrow. But, I have a Toyota interview on Friday. Honda position is secured. Would you pass it up for maybe solidifying a position at Toyota?

Is this suspicious ? (carfax)

Prius 2017 was in a moderate accident 11/25. The car was repaired by a certified toyota dealership, not driven much afterwards, and only 3 days after being certified as a toyota pre owned by the dealership, it was sent to auction. Now im potentially buying it from the auction buyer for a very very good price.

Ive been told that the dealership could have uncovered repairs that were too expensive to fix during the inspection and just sent it to auction.

Would I be able to call the dealer and ask for inspection reports? The seller (used car dealership) claims its in immaculate condition and will let me test drive, inspect, etc. any advice?
