I know there is some but I forget. I have a couple questions about trading in my car or selling it privately.

I don't know about a code for selling cars, bottom line is if you don't care about how much you receive for your old car, use a dealer. If you do care, maybe you should sell it yourself.

No, bottom line; you can do many things on the cheap yourself, including g selling your car. But it may take two - six months. If you don't want to wait, go to a dealer.

I care but I don't care enough to want to mess with haggling with strangers.

So it'd be a straight up trade from one car to the 2014? Sorry, it was a long week lol.

No, quick sell. If your info is accurate, I'll give you 10 k cash and you sign the car, among with the remaining loan to me for me to finish paying.

Chiefs Pantalones · 06-28-2014, 01:28 AM

If I did sell it, I wouldn't blame any dealer for jacking up the price to sell it again lol. I literally have driven it to work and back (which is 5 minutes away), around town and one road trip down to Tucson and back from northern AZ. The buyer would be getting a steal. I like the look of the new ones and figured now would be a good time while the value is still kinda high with this one. Not sure the wife is on board though.

Lol sure, that'd be fair.

I did it myself. Car was worth around 16K according to KBB, and that's what I got. It took a few weeks and talking to a few different people, but I got what I wanted. The buyer got what he wanted, everyone's happy. Then again I was selling a 2005 GTO with only 32,000 miles on it, so there are people out there that want that car. Damn, I miss that car. I don't miss that monthly car payment, however. I have traded in a car before, never again. I speak from experience.

But hey, if your financial situation is such that you can flush money down the toilet and it won't even affect you, go ahead and trade it in.

ONe important fact you may not know. I drive my cars till they drop. There is no value in them. I'm doing good just getting the minimum for them. I don't mind the trade in one bit in my situation because I am getting pretty much what they are worth anyway. Next to nothing.

This is true. Cars aren't investments.

And if that's your situation, that may be fine. But my concern is for the people that have a car that is still worth something. With KBB values online for everyone to see, there's no reason to get bent over by the dealership on a trade-in.

Chiefs Pantalones · 06-28-2014, 01:46 AM

And if I end up doing this I'm not taking anything less than $29k for it, which is KBB ($29-$31k).

Dealers were selling the same vehicle with 40,000 more miles on them for as much as $33k.
