So I

 

u can find for MSRP around here if you try. if you really want to, sell it and get a new one and have some profit left over to buy an xbrace

personally, me and my '00 have been thru a lot and she has a lot of character. I don't see her leaving my possession anytime soon. It just wouldn't be the same without my Lucy.

 

You guys suck.......

No reply?

What does this reply mean in English???

Those Blue Book values are far from retail and wholesale reality. In the dead of winter I would guess you might not get $37K or so out of your car selling privately, maybe mid-$20's from a dealer on a trade. Even our great cars depreciate relatively quickly at first. I highly doubt you could get enough out to get a new one and have money in hand.

But of course you don't care, 'cuz (your words) WE SUCK

 

Both dealers I called quoted that the trade in would will be around $29K. Just going off of the dealer trade in I should be able to private sell for $32K-$34K (probably closer to the first). I owe about $29K on the lease so I should be able to get out of it with $3K in my pocket.

Drive off cost on a new lease will be around $1K (they already have my security deposite so they won't charge that again).

New car and Zero cash out of my pocket. Seems like a good deal to me.

KBB tends to run high as from my experience, they are a little slow at updating market pricing. I've had to sell several cars in the past few years, ad believe me, KBB pricing is great to dream about, but market reality is slightly different.

If you can geta good deal (and I mean car sold and cash in hand) then you can pull off a sweet deal overall. Good luck.

 

Seems to me that there is a lot of negative attention on this board directed at dealers who sell over MSRP. Why is it OK for someone to suggest they're trying to sell to a potential new member of the board at an inflated price? I guess its that old I've got mine and you've got yours mentality.

Oh, and yeah, we all suck.

 

Thought I would take another minute away from sucking to mention the 100% trust I would have in a dealer trade-in quote OVER THE PHONE...how many times have you had the schmuck out on the lot tell you a trade value that's only good until he gets back from the Sales Manager's office with an offer of "ACV"....."Actual Cash Value"?? Phone quotes on a trade are as reliable as phone quotes on prices, color and/or model availability.....i.e. NOT. "uh, that red coupe at invoice? Darn it... we sold it an hour ago!"

 

Hey! I don't know what the car market's like in CA but you guys shouldn't pop this fella's bubble. Let him go out and find out for himself. I don't think any of us suck (or maybe we do) but rather that nobody wanted to pipe in with bubble popping news. (At least not until he gave you the sucking, bubble popping news bit.)

 

no reason to get rude you donkey testicle.
