I bought an automatic Tc last august )08 model pretty much because i didnt know how to drive manual at the time . Well...... i do now and driving the auto is boring as hell and is killing me.

So im wondering does anyone think it would be worth it to sell or trade in the 08 and maybe get an 07 stick( 1 year older but w/e, i drive an avereage 10k per year max) or would i lose too much money in the process?

 

Go and find out how much your car is worth at a dealer and then figure out your payoff......you can call toyota or what ever bank you gone through....and if you paid it cash just figure out how much they'll give you for your tc....and make you choice then.....if it bothers you that much just got for it....

 

yea. payoffs basically 13,700. Im guessing used tc would be around 15+-.

 

the important thing is how much your tc is worth......

 

yea.. i know imma have to go up to the dealer. I wonder how much it dipped, its an 08 with a whole 6k miles.

 

let me run something real quick.....has your car been into an accident?

 

actullay ya a fender bender. I wish people stop when they have a stop sign.

 

did you report it.....like was the police and insurance invovled....

 

yea it was reported

 

dman....idk then.....you gonna take a shot because of that....if you car was clean then.....you be looking at $13,500 to 14,000 for it but since you had a fender bender.....thats gonna drop.....

 

yea i figured that.....blows. Only way it would be worth it would be to sell it privately. What kinda drop you think it will be 1-2k, 3-4 range?

 

a lot. first thing a lot of dealers do is bring up that car fax. so good luck. an for an 08 i bet you could get 15ish for it if it wasnt in an accident

 

^ yea.......

your lucky if you get 10ish to 12ish......thats just a thought.....

 

the best thing to do is just go to a dealer ask how much they'll give you and tell them right away about your fender bender and tell them your pay off and just tell them you would like your trade to be worth your pay off and see what happens.....

 

ok, thanks for the help man.
