wusup guys, i did a few searches and i couldnt find any useful posts mentionin personal experiences with tradin in the tc for another car. i mean there were a couple of posts but i didnt find any numbers. I wanna sell my tc to the dealer and get another car. i'd like to know how much the dealers were willin to pay for ur tc.

mine is an '05 that i bought in 8/04. it has now about 27k. i was involved in an accident not long ago with front end damage. radiator's v\bent, battery got pushed back. and my CAI is damaged. i also have a megan drift spec. i did keep the OEM parts though.

if anybody can provide me with some info it'd b much appreciated.

 

I traded in my tC for 13,500.... it was an '05 bought in 12-04 with 26,xxx miles and a scraped rear bumper...

 

not much. my was a special edition with ALL options and they only wanted to give me 14k....

 

the funny part is.... the dealer is now asking 17,900 for my tC that I bought new for 17,265

 

I was going to trade my '06 FM tC with 8000 miles on it(14 months old) and they wanted to give me 13k at first. I laughed and then it managed to climb to 14k. I sold it privately for 17.

 

did you check kelly blue book?

Got $14,500 for my 05 Auto with 18xxx miles... Im sure I could have got more but I saved a **** load on taxes that I didnt have to pay for my xB...

 

thanx for all the helpful answers guys. now i hab to decide whether i wanna keep the car or trade it in and get an rsx type s. although the type s seems to hab a ____load of issues past 50000 miles. we'll see.

 

hmm what issues??

 

Transmission problems from what I know of. Two of my buddies had rsx-s, 03 and an 05, both had 2nd gear grind and 3rd gear pop outs (one had 45,000 miles and the other had 39,000 miles)

 

How much would take give for an automatic BCP 07 tc, scratch underneath front bumper?

 

ur s/n reminds me of "taek" from socal who got banned.

awesome car, bad attitude
