Replying to: sluri (Mar 24, 2006 3:09 pm) Well, let's assume a $12.5k trade price on a good day ... you could ASK $13,995 or even $14,495 ... and kick it to the curb for the first $13,500 that comes along ... HOWEVER, does your state allow you a tax break for trading it in? here in Jersey, if I get $12,500 on my trade, that is about $750 less tax I have to pay on the new car. So, effectively, I get $13,250 on that trade ... there is no way I'm spending the money on advertising and dealing with deadbeat tire kickers to make a couple hundred bucks. I'd gladly trade that in. That's me, though. I have a certain line I draw. Usually, if a car I'm trading is $10k or more, I feel I'll take the trade-in price (plus the tax savings) rather than go through the hassle of selling it myself.

Looking for an opinion. My father is about due for a new to him car. Basically, he wants a v6 or v8 and would prefer if it isn't any older than a 2002. A car with a little bit of luxury wouldn't be bad. He puts on about 20,000 miles a year and therefore would like for the car to be reliable for at least the next 4 years. He would like to spend 16,000 to 18,000. Any suggestions?

Replying to: robbieg (Mar 28, 2006 8:55 am) My other suggestion is a Volvo (again, a bit biased). Although its a 5-cyl in the S60, you wouldn't know it by driving it (especially the T5, which you could easily get an '02 with low miles in your range). Or he could step up to an S80 and get the 6-cyl. It might be tough to get an '02 S80 T6 under your cap, but not impossible. |

My Mother-in-law is looking to trade in her Lexus RX300 for a new RX330 this week, to take advantage of the "2006 Closeouts," with the new RX350 being introduced. So, Terry, I'd certainly appreciate your advice on what a fair trade would be on this, as well as private party value, if we decide to go that route: In DENVER, 1999 Lexus RX300 AWD 130k miles White exterior/tan leather Pretty much loaded with options available at the time: Moonroof, tow package, Nakamichi audio, heated seats It was in a parking lot accident. Not severe, but the front bumper was replaced. Repairs were done well. Overall, nice condition for its age - no dents or dings, but some rock chips on the front. Tires only have about 5,000 miles on them. What do you think? Thanks a bunch! Bruce |

Repost, just out of curiousity.... Hey Terry, Hope all is well with you.. its been awhile since I've posted here, been a little busy w/ new job, kid, house, etc... but checked in every once in awhile for smiles. Playing much golf lately? Did you ever pull the trigger on a house in NC or are you still lingering around north FL? or both? Anyways, I pulled the trigger last week on an '05 G35. Traded in the black I35. Here's the details for your information... bought '05 G35 sedan auto rwd. Black w/ black interior. typical options, heated seats, etc... 21,000 miles. great condition, really well kept, hardly a scratch on it. Certified used Infiniti dealership Infinity. Traded '02 I35. black w/ black interior. well equipped, including the heated seats, steering wheel. 58,xxx miles. few scratches and knicks here and there and on the front, probably typical for a 4-year old car. was going to need new tires soon plus typical maintenance when you start reaching the 60-70k mile range. Everything else was decent shape, it was a certified used from Infiniti when I bought it so it still had some warranty left. OTD $27,5 w/ taxes and all. Written up as even wash on trade/payoff ($14k on payoff/trade allowance). paying $26,4 for the G35 plus taxes, tags, etc... on the difference. East Tennessee area. felt it was fair for both parties.... thanks. butchbr73 |
