I was driving by one of the many local "we fianance" used car dealerships last night, and in the lot was a Pontiac G6 with a lifted suspension, and 24"+ rims with skinny tires. If you worked at that dealership would you buy it/take it in on a trade? To me it seems like you would have to put in way to much money to convert it back to make it sell-able, providing the seller didn't include the original parts.
Why would they do anything to it? The buy-here-pay-here folks know what their customers want. Someone will buy it the way it is.

Sure I would. I used to live in a town that had a huge demographic which loved those sorts of things. It would sell with a quickness.
I think it is fair to say that accepting virtually any trade, vs. putting it on your lot, are two very different things - - though a "we finance" used car lot is more likely to have "variety".
Could have been a repo......they sold it and the person making payments "customized it" and when they got it back it looked the way it does now. Someone else will buy it!
If it were a repo, wouldn't you think that the car wouldn't have been taken back if the buyer actually spent money on the car payment instead of worthless rims and paint?
most every car traded into a new car dealership around me goes to auction. From there, the used car dealers and fleet guys buy them up. I have seen the weirdest vehicles sell at the auctions for almost nothing because some dealer thinks they can make a quick $100.
most definitely because the clientele that this would apply to would pay stupid money for a whacky paint job and huge wheels. The dealership probably bought the car for a couple of grand and will flip it for 10x what they paid. Easy money. The car could rattle like a can of spray paint and the engine could spit piston parts out the exhaust and some moron will easily part with his money to own it.
