Toutes les voitures d'occasion ont deux prix : le prix de gros et le prix de détail. Le prix de gros est le plus bas, celui que le concessionnaire vous donne pour votre voiture. Le prix de détail est celui que le concessionnaire vous demande pour une voiture remise en état. 1, record 1, French, - voiture%20d%27occasion
