I traded my 2002 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe. I wanted to get something a bit cheaper. I really really liked my accord, the Xb is fun and I like driving it but I truly miss my climate control and 200hp. Oh well, at least I have more money to blow on toys for my box.
TRD 18's will be here thursday, New alpine stereo with Sirius sat radio in the car. Maybe next week/month I'll add the lowering springs and intake. I have done more mods on this car in the week I owned it than I did to my accord the whole 2.5 years I owned it.

03 Nissan Sentra SER spec-V A little nismo here a little nismo there all in all a pretty quick car but horrible handling inbelievable torque steer and this un nerving habbit of floating then proceeding to wallow over large undulations in the road at 90+ Even with the suspension upgrade that car was my demise just waiting to happen.
Also was not too keen on the 92 octane only and 20 mpg

trade-in not part of "pure pricing" plan
My Scion dealer would'nt take a trade-in. He said it wasn't part of the pure pricing feature of Scion. I'm thinking it was more because it was a 93 colt vista with high miles. I even had a hard time donating it. The 5th place I called (outta CA) sent someone from Harrisburg to get it in MD. Had it been a 94, there wouldn't have been a problem donating it at all. I ended up with my box tagged and titled, at 4.4%, putting 3200 down, so I could pay under 2 and a quarter a month.

what i traded....
Finally was able to get outta my 04' Mazda3 "s" 5-door. What a piece of "crap". Back when I bought it, it was between it and the Xb. In 11months, that Mazda was in the shop "14" times and for something different everytime. Trouble Spots were.....
14 interior rattles from the dashboard, all the windows, door panels, passenger seat, rear hatch, rear cargo area, headliner, sunroof and ventilation system.
Mechanically I had to take it in for,
replacement of 3 window regualtors
entire replacement of rear brakes
entire replacement of rear shocks/springs
entire replacement of hydraulics on the clutch
replaced clutch switch
replaced drive shaft bolts (they fell off)
weak a/c
front suspension fixes (never got fixed)
rear hatch struts failed
power steering acting like it was "manual" and not power
All of this in just over 12,000 miles
Good riddance to that one and "all" of Mazda forever for me.

we were going to trade in my wifes 99 accord v6, but instead gave my father in law the accord, then went down and dropped 1000$ and walked out with the new scion. My wife was stoked when we bought it, since she wasnt expecting it. I told her we were goign for a "test drive".

"traded in" a 95 Ford escort wagon, with about 251,000 miles on it, and it was wrecked twice. 
Dealership gave me a bill for it 
and I put down 1,600 and left with my first new car. 
All in my name, nobody elses, except Toyota

Sold my 99 civic ex coupe. Mint condition. Must say, I loved the car... But kinda got tired of EVERYONE owning one, not to mention it being broken into twice. Being 6 ft. 3, I needed a bit more head room, and a bit less speeding tickets. Salvation is here...
