bargaining away absolutely marketable vehicles


Explanation:
Главным образом, мое предложение касается "сливов", нашел слово bargain away, которое должно подходить по смыслу:
1) уступать по дешёвке, продавать за бесценок; жертвовать
2) упустить возможность, шанс; променять на что-л. менее ценное; поступиться
