Exactly. The retail is what *you* would pay from a dealer. The wholesale is what *I* would get from a dealer. The price you would pay me for the car directly is somewhere in-between. Why would I sell it privately instead of to a dealer if I couldn't get more for it by doing so? And why would you buy it privately instead of from a dealer if you couldn't get it for less? The thousands, hell, probably millions, of private car sales that occur each year prove that there is a middle arbitrage price that satisfies both parties. And as for the other nitpickers, I live in Falls Church, 1/2 mile from 66W and I drive about 60 highway miles a day to work. I do very little stop-and-go driving at all.
