Assuming you are buying your cars at auction like most dealers, there are about a hundred different ways to price a car for retail.  Likewise, every dealer has his own opinion on how to price their inventory.  However, I will now share with you my approach to pricing on the Internet that worked well for me over the years.  I will break these down very plainly for you.
