hey guys, i just need some input. m trying to sell my 05 tc with only 8700 miles on since i got it august'04. one dealer is telling me they would buy it at 15750... you think thats a fair deal? i still have some liens on it. thanks for the inputs.

 

Do they mean on a trade? Or buy it outright?

 

seems pretty good. I traded mine in for $14,500. It was a 2005 w. 17K miles. But mine had options too. (spoiler, sports steering wheel, fogs, wheel locks, mats).

 

15750 is OK i suppose. they gave me 15,500 with 13,800 miles, scraped bumper and passenger-side door, stripped of everything even the mats. the dealer will turn around and sell the tc for $18-20k, see if you can bargain for more.

 

its a buyout... mine is barestock except for the CC short shifter... i already sold the exhaust and the intake is still pending... car has a quarter size shallow ding on the driver side door just above the door handle, 8inches long key mark by some idiot who envys my car the fisrt day i got it, and a very small blemish on the center console caused by my air freshner that leaked and ate the silver paint... plus a curb rash on my 2 right rims... but the good thing is it has low mileage..

 

If I were you, I'd go to other dealers and see what they'll give you.. even if it's only like $100 more you'll still be saving money.

 

your car depreciated $250 in 8k miles?!? Holy crap... anybody willing to pay 18-20k for a used 16k car is

 

It's crazy how these cars are holding up their value... time to sell mine!

 

why are you selling it (if you don't mind me asking)?

 

cuz my family will be moving this summer to AZ and im in need of more funds for the move to cover some expenses... therefore, im not in a position right now to prioritize the car's monthly payment... i know its sad but ill be fine with a 97 accord EX...

 

well the deal tried to sell me a used 06 tC that had 8k miles on it for 18k which used to be a loaner car. but instead i bought a brand new 06 5 spd tC for 17k. so i guess thats a pretty good deal.

 

if you could keep the tc we have a preety cool crew out here...too bad you have to sell it. you should be able to get at least 16k but that isnt a bad deal

 

I would say its a great deal. Most cars lose 2000 grand just by driving them off the lot. If you are getting 15,750 used and only payed 16,500 for it. Thats amazing.
Cars arent meant to make money off of. They arent investments. so yeah I would say its a good deal.

 

Traded my 05' FM with 12K miles for 15.5K and bought a new 06' for 16.8K. For the last 16months, it have only dropped 1.3K. Not and bad deal, considering, it only cost less than $100 per month. Noticed that the 06' feels tighter and less noisy than the 05'... may be the yoko tire is more quiet.
