Also, if you have the money to accelerate the payments, don't worry about negative equity. You could always put in the cash at trade-in time if you would rather hang on to it now (best option probably depends on the APR and your cash needs).

Thanks for any help!!!!!!
There are so many of these out there, I couldn't see a dealer offering very much. The low miles might save it as a private sale, but you will have to take the salvage title into consideration when you price it. That will scare a lot of potential buyers away.
Personally, as a buyer, I am going to look at the salvage title and discount what I am going to pay BIG TIME. And what would the Explorer be worth with a normal title.
If I were in your shoes, I would suck it up and plan to drive the car until the wheels were ready to fall off.
Just my 2 cents on the matter.

===========================
In the Land of the Rams, or at least close to ...
04 2wd Yota Sienna LE with 19k .. we got gray and some more gray, we got some of them wheel thing's, side balloons, one power door is better than none and you just had a visit with Dr Dent and a come to Jesus detail, sounds nice, miles are a little on the tall side ..... I read from your other post it's just a EL' Dingo, no biggie .. so, if it's as nice as you say it is, then trade side, in and around the super tall $19's, low/mid $20's, maybe the low low (did I say low.?) low low low $21ish figure depending on the dealer, maybe ... I see Yota just dropped a bunch of these dudes off in your region, so let me know what happens ..................................

Remind me not to take any trips with you guys ...............
Terry.
Now, help me with something. When you say "down retail road," what exactly do you mean? Sometimes I'm rather slow on things, but I did catch onto what a "handshaker" was. Clarifying what you said, since one with a handshaker isn't as desirable, I "should" be able to get a better deal on it versus an automatic?
Thanks again for all your help, you really are an asset to Edmunds. From now on, anytime someone even thinks about getting rid of their vehicle, I'm sending them here.
Seriously Terry, I've always thought a '98 would be "eight years old" in late August/early September of 2005, when the new ones appear. That's what I've always read, but I won't belabor the point anymore... maybe you're just 8 months ahead of the rest of us, I shouldn't wonder...

You guys almost had a football team this year ....
03 Lexus RX300 4wd ... right color, all the good stuff, miles are almost okay, not much of a description here .... if it's knee deep in rubber, clean history, no visits to the spray and paint department and no hinky interior .. then trade side, in and around the super tall $24's, low/mid $25's .. I would think you could buy one for around the $27/$28ish figure - depending on the weather up there ........... what are they asking.?
Terry.
as soon as they hit the ground, the clock is a tickin' ... I'm driving an 05 now that's 5 months old ...

What your looking for is the DIFFERENCE figure .. your van and "X" amount of bucks ...
Example only:
New car- $30,123
discount- $2,000
sales price- $28,123
=======
Now-
sales price: $28,123
trade: $20,000
*DIFF*: $8,123
plus the tax
plus the flea's
plus the pay-off
minus any rebates
=============
Not- $30,123
trade- $20,000
diff- $10,123
then, plus the other stuff ...... see, it's the Difference ..................
PS: if you take it down Retail Rd - $23,495 *asking* .. probably see $22,5ish ... don't you guys get tax savings in MO ..?
Terry.
NOW I'm confused LOL!

Thanks Terry,
Yes it's 2100 miles, no accident, but it's SLE XL with about $1100 in option. The window price is ~$35K. I got $10K off so my cost was ~$25K + tax and tag.
Seem your quote is for SLT...so this car is even cheaper...cannot believe I loss that much money in 3 months
About 2 months ago I traded in Altima 2003 2.5S (2 years with 20K miles) for a new 2005 2.5S with exact same option and I paid the diff. of $4K + tax and tag.

DESCRIPTION!!!
OK, so you have an '05 that is 5 months old... HOW? That doesn't jive with yer math there, Terry. It has to be 1 yr. and 5 months old. OR, does it simply jump a year when the '06s come out? Cause, when the '06 comes out 7 months from now, according to your math, your car will be 2 years old (I have an '05 and an '06 on hand, that's 2 years).

Somebody want to walk this guy over to CCCB??
This is an off-topic question, but I'm new to your forum and don't know your procedure.
I have a red 2001 CL (NAV)with 106,000 miles. It looks better than most, but has carpet wear driver's side and 4 parking lot dings, one of them a half inch deep. No scratched paint, tho.
Can you tell me about what to expect on a trade?
So you can just use the outline in red at the bottom of the page as a guide.

Excellent condition and maintenance records.
Accident in December 04. Insurance paid for it. 6000 of front driver side quarter panel damage. Air bags (both front) replaced. No frame damage.
Yes, we do only pay the difference between what we sell and what we buy, if it's done within 90 days of each other. Thank God or I wouldn't even consider this. I'm just thinking the early 2004 Siennas are a little crappy and I would not feel too bad if my difference will only be 4-5K.
Thanks again for all your help, I'll put it in the Sunday Post Dispatch and see what happens.

Nah not really. I'm happy with the 3 vehicles we have. Zippy (Focus) turned 18k today and I have yet to have a problem with the car.......even at the lovely 45 below zero temps we are having right now. The Titan is a nice truck, its reliable and I am enjoying it. The Ram, well, um, let's just say after his latest kiss with a dirt bank he's going to have it for a LONG time. Its a good truck though.
