Real-World Trade-In Values

Agree - 30+% for a truly used example.

waffle_sloth

Thanks for the input! I would totally go for a new/loaner vehicle given the incentives, but as far as I can tell there just aren't any 2019 loaners left in my area, and no new ones with my preferred options, unfortunately. I'll probably see what the dealer is willing to do on this one and go from there. Thanks again!

So, any massive lease incentives on a loaner X3? Asking for a friend...

Depends on region. I think loyalty is $1000 and Conquest is $750. Up here lease cash is $2500. If you can find an OL you’ll get another $500.

So up to $3750 for you.

@qbrozen,
Looking for a ballpark value. I found out through my wife, no numbers were mentioned.
Getting an outstanding recall taken care of, already scheduled before I heard about her interest.
After that, I'll probably try Carvana.

@andres3,
Not sure what to make of your comment, I guess I just have to consider the source.
Car is still under original B2B warranty, although it has an add on for another 2 years.

Mid 13s trade, so probably $14.5k carvana

@qbrozen,
Thanks for the numbers. At least I have some equity in it.

He's just saying that selling cars to friends/family can sometimes be a headache because there are times when the expectation of such buyers is that anything that goes wrong with the car after the sale must somehow be your fault as the previous owner.

@xwesx,
That's why I started my original post the way I did and I understand the risk of selling to a relative.
How would I look if I sold that car to my SIL 'as is'?

No, I agree. It can be a catch-22 no matter which way you swing it. Such things have never dissuaded me, but YMMV depending on the family member! Seems low risk with this particular transaction.

There are massive leasing incentives on the 2019 4-series. Couple that with 20% discount on a loaner, and you could be 30% off on one of those. So make sure you do all your homework on what you’d qualify for on a new/loaner. And, given that, I would want to be 30% off that one, if not more.

28firefighter said:

I spoke to the dealer and the lowest they’re willing to go is $41,000. Not quite 30% so I’ll keep shopping around but I do like it... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

qbrozen

Well, that’s $2500 over the 30% mark. What price is happiness? Doesn’t seem like all that much if it is something you’ll keep long term.

tifighter

If it’s spec’d the way you want it, then I’d be more accepting on price. Most loaners are black/black and pretty basic.

28firefighter

agree with @tifighter and @qbrozen. If you’re going to be keeping this a while and it’s exactly what you want, go for it. It’s still a 25.5% discount.

You do realize that getting xDrive deletes the M Sport suspension? That would be a deal-breaker for me.

28firefighter

Ok. Two vehicles, just for kicks:

2015 Audi Q5 2.0T Prem Plus
Black over Brown Leather
37k miles
Nav
Park assist
Blind spot monitoring
B&O
Roof rails

At CarMax asking $24,9k

2016 Audi Q5 2.0T Prem Plus
White over Black Leather
45k miles
Same options
Audi Certified

Asking $26k.

All in Seattle area.

qbrozen

$18.5k and $20k, respectively

28firefighter

Sounds about right.

breld

Okay - curious as to the value on our two primary vehicles.

In Colorado...

2018 Audi Q7 3.0T Prestige
Blue over Gray
Cold and Warm Weather packages
Driver Assistance Package
Adaptive Suspension
36k miles

2018 Audi A5 2.0T Sportback Prestige
Gray over Black
Cold and Warm Weather packages
Driver assistance package
S line appearance
19k miles

breld

To proactively answer the “but why?”

Wife would love to get into a manual VW Alltrack SEL while they’re still available.

And I’d be up for swapping either Audi, and reducing the car load given our recent home purchase.

stickguy

I guess QB saying he had a plan brewing boiled up Breld's competitive juices! The battle Royale is about to begin.

And I can't even get my wife to agree to a new car for her!

wasn't there an issue with your son only being comfortable in certain cars? Is the Alltrack on the approved list?

That’s a whole separate story. Basically, it would seem there are no “approved” cars when it comes to her son. She has, however, discovered ear plugs.

How a out a v60 polestar?

stickguy

that would cost more than the Audi. And of course, no manual trans.

@breld

Strongly recommend the brown or beige interiors on the Alltrack, and the SEL is a great trim line with everything obviously. Also recommend going Stage 1 immediately. APR is good on this motor.

breld

Thanks @andres3 - as you saw in the CCBA forum, we pulled the trigger today and my wife ended up with the black interior. She may have liked the beige, but definitely did not prefer the brown. She was fine with the black in order to get the Silk Blue, which was one of her top choices for the exterior.

We'll see how she feels about the 1.8T - I imagine she'll quickly adapt to it and be good with it.

Well, yeah, she'll be good with it for the next 3 months that you own it. ;b

2 months

stickguy

I say the replacement is a present for the holidays in December.

I’m taking the over here.

Michaell

Nope, y'all are wrong. I can see Mrs @breld keeping the Alltrack for a year or more.

pensfan83

Well we went from a punchless year to 2 in the span of a month so you can understand the skepticism

That said I completely get the rationale.

stickguy

My debt swap plan, when explained to the wife, went over like a lead balloon. Just not into creative high finance I guess. Even though she ended up with a new car, and our monthly cash flow decreased significantly. At least for about 6-7 months!

pensfan83

The equity from the sale of the Altima will go toward the lump sum put toward the truck and the rest will be added to next years vacation fund.

stickguy

My plan was cash out the RDX, pay off the HELOC, get a heavily subvented lease, then bank the extra monthly cash flow to be used to buy out the lease at the end. Basically pay us instead of interest to the bank. I felt the plan was genius. Probably should have forced her to look at a spreadsheet.

What I really need to do is get her to look at the list, and tell me what she’s willing to sign off on, then I can try to put a deal together.

flnovice

Could I get your thoughts on trade value for a 2018 Mazda CX-9 Touring with premium package and Carplay. 16,100 miles in the Orlando, Florida area. Thanks.

@flnovice - Color? FWD or AWD? Any previous paint work or issues reported on the Carfax?

flnovice

White and it’s FWD. No accidents or body work.

qbrozen

Mid $23k on the CX9

My favorite lot has this on offer...or will soon, in any case:

Sry for the wasted real estate..my own car was in the way of framing the picture properly.

2012 Cruze LS 1.8 ecotec nonturbo 6spd manual 100k, clean, steel wheels, decent tread on Michelins. No price yet. What's it worth?

Vin is 1G1PD5SH9C7150373, if anyone has access and is so inclined. Thanks in advance, Mathias

qbrozen

2 owners and 0 accidents on autocheck.

Exact mileage would help me know if it went through Manheim recently. Last mileage reported to autocheck was only 16k. Anyway, blue, handshaker, 100k equals $2500’ish. So figure $4k-$4500

stickguy

For my SIL.

2017 Acura RDX. base model with AWD. about 35,000. Ok shape, some scuffing on front bumper. On Long Island. Lease is ending and is considering buying out.

White over beige. Basically identical to this one.

https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/1284162

qbrozen

In the $21.5-$22k range trade-in. Figure $26'ish non-CPO retail.

I'm gonna go with $4K. I like it. I'd take that for the price.

my favorite color on those! That is gorgeous.

Right about $26k at the block. I think $30,500 would get it done with little fuss.

tjc78

Nice car and agree great colors ... but that center stack and screen is dated. I don’t think you’d be happy with it.
