Might be worth having here, maybe? We can get a collective idea what our stuff goes for, when we're being low-balled, ewtc, all under one roof!

I had 1 dealer quote me $13,000 on a trade in for a new RS 2 tC.

Thoughts/opinions?

 

Um... I haven't asked a dealer, but ironically I was just on kbb.com before I saw this thread and they still say $15,500 with 18k miles.

How many miles on yours? Maybe specify that with what you've been quoted at?

 

I got 15.5k for my 05, no options, manual with 9k miles.

 

9640 at time of appraisel, no body damage, interior damage, etc. Oil every 3k miles. Not sure what i could specify more of in the details, other than what I currently owe on it ;)

Oh yeah, Aide air bagds, Scion security, Toyota Extra Care (not included)

 

Sounds like yours was quite low then. Especially if you were under 10k. Was probably just recently, I'm guessing, since it would be for an RS2.

 

Edited last post....

yeah, last Friday (31st of March)

 

I guess all scions would be about the same, I hope. When my xA got Totalled this past December my Insurance company (USAA) gave me $12,500 with the alarm option alone. The xA was an 04' with 26,500 miles on it and I payed $13,700. @ couldn't be any happier with that deal even do it was a bad situation and I loved my car to death. Now I have a Tc, so I hope it holds it's value. Hope that helps. Damn I miss my xA.

 

We are trading in 05 Autos with basic equipment for about $15,000 depending on overall condition. I apprasied one this weekend for $14,800 with 19kMiles and a noticeable key mark "S" on the hood.

Normally, a 1 year old vehicle will bring about 75%-80% of the original Invoice. $16900(est)*.80 = $13,500. But the TC's are in tight enough supply that you should get a little more.

If you want a RS2.0, I ahve a few coming in Auto and Manual. I will give you $15,000 for your TC if it is in great condition. Tx ain't to far....LOL

 

ROFL, yeah, can you fly me down?

 

im getting 13k for mine. 26k miles with a couple of scratches, so Im pretty satisfied

 

I got 15.5K with 13K miles no scratches. Couldn't be happier.

Hahaha, I had an offer of 15,500 for my car just last week, and I laughed in the dealers face pretty much. The car was sittin with everything, but the 9lb pulley, and the dealer brought the tC up on his KBB site and was like, look your tC with 7,500 miles, in Excellent condition is worth 16,700.. Thats when I was like, uh, yeah, thats an NA tC, the one you are looking at is S/C and with the full warrantee.. he was like, uhh, what you want, I said 18-19k, and then we found out I couldnt afford the S2000 anyways.. hahaha

 

Dealers don't value add-ons, so I fail to see the funny.

 

yeah but that "add on" is dealer installed and waranted... so its more like a better version of a tc... thus having more value (someone correct me if this is wrong... but i dont htink it is

 

The Dealer installed and warrantied S/C does add value to the car. As long as it has been installed by Toyota and is warrantied, and that you have documentation... My Toyota dealership told me that I could get between 18k-19k from them.

 

$15500 with 13800 miles 5speed, scratches on passenger side door, scraped from bottom bumper, freeway paintchips. two weeks later i see them selling it for $22,599
