I want to trade in my r.s 1 it has about 22k miles i was wondering what should i expect on the trade in value? less then 14k?

 

check KBB

 

I've seen used tCs with 5-33k miles going for $14-18k on www.CarMax.com

So I imagine you could get $10-15k.

 

When you goto kbb, don't get silly with all of the option buttons, and don't even think about getting anything much better than "poor" condition. Sorry, it's just the way it is. The term is officially called "rough book". 95% of all trades are done with rough book being the Actual Cash Value, or ACV.

 

Sell it private party, in good condition without any credit that it's a rs 1.0 it prices at 16300. A dealer will try to steak it from you especially since it;s and rs. I would be willing to bet the offer on your rs from the dealer would be about 13-14 and they would sell it for 18-19.

 

I went to car max and they offered me 12,000 because they say that how much they get them at whole sale and they wouldnt give me anything for the wheels or the little things the r.s has because they say its not a pakage that the dealer just added them

 

I sincerely hope you laughed at them and walked out. Like I had mentioned prior, they would try to steal it from you. I have a hard time beleiving they are getting rs tc's for 12. Maybe other tc's...but doubt the rs. Sell it outright on your own.

That is exactly what i did . The apraisor came out and i asked him why it was so low and he told me all this B.S and i laughed and walked out

 

I told them that too. I told them you're offerign me 12,000 then you're going to so minor things to eat and sell it for 6,000 more. Then he replied with would only put it up for 2.3 more which is 14,500

 

get that in writing! 14500 my butt

 

 

Um ok if that was true can they explain this!?

They'd end up selling it for that. But after overallowing a couple of grand for a trade in, and after recon, they're still looking at 2 to 3k profit. Which is a lot more than when the car was new. That's just how the used car market works.

 

I know they're B.S. but wont selling it privately take a while?

 

Not if you advertise it to the right nmarket.....here maybe? Newspaper, put a for sale sign in it. Sometimes it takes a while but if it pays you 4000 more isn;t a little patience worth it?

 

I dont understand why these tc's are so expensive when a brand new one is only 15k ish

 

That's because brand new ones aren't 15k ish. Sticks are 17,2, and autos are 18k. That figure includes the $675 delivery charge which is on the maroney label.

And yeah, their resale value is off the charts. One of the good reaons to own one.

 

Well my r.s was not 15 it was 19,100 plus tax licens came up to 22 something i put down 15 k and refinance the rest. I also thought it would have a great resale value but look what those bastards are offering me
