Sorry, probably it is too soon for repost, may be I should have asked Terry earlier to give him some time... Going to the dealership tomorrow morning, so Terry, in case you got sleepless Friday night or early Saturday morning, your opinion (read "your verdict") would be really appreciated.
Could you give me trade-in value for this car:
Location: Twin Cities, MN
Model: 2004 Honda Accord LX V6 Style: 4-dr Sedan Engine/Trans: V6 3.0/auto Mileage: 23600 Color: Silver metallic, black interior
Dealer-installed option: alloy wheels
It has a tiny flaw on the rear bumper, looks like someone with metal bumper touched it doing parallel parking. It is noticeable yet. Otherwise it is clean and nicely running vehicle, with all service done on the dealership.
And I forgot to mention it last time: the windshield is replaced. Not sure if it affects the price.
I have a 1998 BMW M3 sedan, silver in color with dove leather.
5 speed, Harmon Kardon with CD changer, Forged Alloys, onboard computer, twin heated power leather seats, sunroof and cruise, no spoiler.
The car is in excellent condition with 127k miles. Tire tread is 1/2 (they hum now and will prob need replacing if I sell private party) and will need oil change/ service II soon. Hope thats enough info. Thanks Located NJ 08505

I am wondering how the tax credit really works? I am not sure if you remember, but the dealer gave me a trade in value of 12,000 for an 04 civic EX. He is now saying that with the tax credit, it will really work out to be 13,300 for the trade in? Something about since I paid my tax on one car, then they will not charge me for it on another car if I trade in my civic, therefore they say that they are saving me 1,300. Does this sound right?

I just saw Terry's $$ #'s on this....it "could" be a great car for a potential buyer. But, how much repairs, service, etc. have you had done on this? "Average", or do you have receipts "up the wazoo" for every little thing? New shocks, preventative E-36 M3 maintainence, zymol & oil changes every 15 seconds, etc. could help you get top $$ privately--but used bmw buyers for a car like this can be....worse than Martha Stewart inspecting your kitchen. And the high miles don't help; it would have to be truly exceptional to get a couple thousand$$ extra. If it's "average", I'd just trade it, if you can.
Terry Your number was high 26s low to mid 27s. They're hitting me at 25,000. I don't want to be difficult since I work here, but I think someone is getting a little greedy.
Hey Terry, I see you are at the helm so I wanted to repost this and see if you had a rough estimate for me. I have something like 3 weeks left in Iraq and I am being told that the Pacifica is either going or we are buying a cheaper car for my wife to rivde the kids around in. Pacifica values do not look good so I think I might drive it if the value is too low.
Thanks for all the help Capt. Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Okay, so my wife does not like her 2004 Pacifica anymore and we want to trade it in. Here are the details:
Location: Oklahoma City, OK Year/Make/Model: 2004 Chrysler Pacifica Body Style: wagon Engine: 3.5 liter with auto Driveline: AWD Mileage: ~27,000 Color: Silver/ Light grey leather Major Options: Leather Condition: 1 small ding on the rear passenger door the size of a Sharpie pen point but otherwise it's awesome and clean. It's a typical careless door ding. Interior is in excellent shape. 45% worn All Maintenance done at Chrysler dealer
Other: Warranty repaint by Chrysler due to bad original paint quality. It was also rear-ended which meant a new bumper and tailgate sheet metal. The rear window was intact along with the tail lights so it wasn't a bad hit but it was a hit.
This was one of the first Pacificas that came with loads of stuff right out of the door. It does not have the sunroof or chrome wheels or DVD/Nav but it has everything else.
I was offered $21,000 in May of 2004 but I just couldn't stomach turning it in for a lesser car and being ~4K under.
I will be turning the vehicle in some time in the summer (I'm in Iraq right now) but I really don't want to lose too much on it. My wife dislikes the blind spots and they are so bad, in her view, that the car must go.
I can help you out. When you bought your trade you paid sales tax on it so when you trade it in you get a credit for its value.eg. Your new car costs $20000 and your trade is worth $10000, you only pay tax on $10000 or the trade difference. An easy way to figure it is take your trade value and multiply your tax rate. That is your tax savings. You have to take that into account if you are going to sell your car outright. If you get a $1500 tax credit but you neighbor will give you $1000 more than the dealer, you will lose $500. Good Luck
Thanks rroyce and woody ww. I have owned the car 2 1/2 years and put 13k and only basic service has been needed. Retail it is for me, since Martha will have to look mighty hard...

Capt. Phil, I didn't see the military part til' now .... "Any help will be greatly appreciated" ----
... Any help.?? Your kidding , right.? ....
I just wanted to say: between you and all of our brave ladies and men over in Irag, and every place in-between, THANK YOU ...!!!
If it wasn't for brave souls like you and yours, there wouldn't be any Edmunds, or these discussions .. or the Freedom to buy what Americans want to buy .. and we would all be driving 1938 Fords, living in refrigerator boxes and speaking another language --- God Bless.!
Now, back to our regular scheduled programming in Oklahoma ..
We have a 04 Chrysler Pacifica AWD ... the miles are a little tall for the year, good color for the area, leather, we have some factory paint and some: "let's play doggems" to the rear bumper, these came with all the stuff, but no slider and no Disney package (no big deal) ..... trade side, depending on the dealer, in and around the super tall $18's low/mid $19's .. keep all of factory paperwork on the paint, this way (if they ask) you can show the warranty ..
Maybe consider Retail Rd - finish any service, superb detail, Glorious Fat Daddy Ad in the Big Oky paper, $22,900 *asking* and cut that dude loose for the first $21,5/$22,5 ....
Happy hunting, stay low and don't forget to let me know what happens.!
........ Ha.! .. Cary.? ...... I was just in that area lookin' for some new digs, had some dinner at Sullivans with Mr. Meeker ....
OTD....? .. dealer probably paid in and around the $14ish figure for it, add a this and that, and it probably hits the table in the mid/tall $14's ..... I would think that $15,5/$15,9 + the TTL would bring it home .................
No you had it right. The Cadillac GSM apparently thinks that I'm sleeping all day long in another showroom and have no idea. Rough black book is 24,800, average is 26,300 and I won't get into clean book. Now I know books don't buy cars, but he won't be buying (or stealing) mine for that price either. Thanks for your guidance as always.
... **trade side, in and around the super ultra tall $26ish range, depending on the dealer, maybe the low /mid $27 figure .....**
........... Yeppers .. $26,5/$26,9 aaaall day long .....
$24,8 .....?? ..... did you forget to tell me about the missing wheels ..l.o.l... .. import dealer.??

Buying a 05 Accord in Northwest Ohio and will trade in either an 01 very good condition Sand Mica Mazda MPV LX 57,000 miles with roof rack, fogs, and rear air as the added options or an 04 brand new condition, automatic, Redfire Metallic Mazda6S (6 cyl) with 7,900 miles with a power driver seat being the only option.
What can I expect to receive on trade on these two Mazdas?
Have: 2001 accord ex,58k auto,sedan, n no-sale blue,4cyl w/leather 60k service done, spanking new rubber in the nawlins Looziana area, has had a boo-boo repaired on rear pass qp where I backed into it with a 24 ft U-haul, an ok repair job-not great no other dings, interior clean
Want: 2004 g35 coupe 6spd aero pak 11.5k, premium pak, in the same area, on a used import dealers lot for 32995 the car is grey w/black guts clean w no dings no navigation Invoice on a new comparable g35 is only about 34k ,i'm finding they want crazy cash for these things used, I just may wait a few months and get a new one
Thanks in advance Terry.
Also a BIG thanks to Capt. Phil and all other servicepeople!!!
It's a 2003 Dodge Dakota STX, 6 cyl, just under 30K miles, 2WD, auto, minor dings on driver's door, black ext. color, located in Orlando Florida, $10500.
......... Ya can't miss the "minor dings on driver's door" ..l.o.l..... and maybe it's just the light or the angle, but the the tail pipe is a little rusted for a Orlando vehicle .....(?)
If all is well ... then the dealer probably paid $8/$8,5ish for it ..
Mike .... It's black - in Florida - in May .... probably take $9,5/$9,9 just to get it off his lot .. did I mention, it's black..??
Wow, that was a quick reply. Don't you ever take a day off? Sunday? Mother's Day?.....LOL.
Yeah, I thought about the black color here in Florida with the hot hot weather right around the corner. The wife has a black 04 Highlander, can cook an egg on it in July.....well almost......
....... I take alot of days off ........ besides, who's workin'..? ... I'm drinkin' coffee, smokin' cigarettes, reading the LA times, watching the Fox channel and waiting for her "highness" to come out of her 10 hour coma ...............
**The wife has a black 04 Highlander** ...... no problems getting rid of that dude ..l.o.l......
I Have a 97 Voyager w/ 120k miles, dual sliding doors, metallic taupe/brown color, new muffler, new tie rod ends, short wheel base, 3.0 L, fabric interior, no CD just cassette, Newer tires (about 12K on them)... Needs a new EGR valve, which means check engine light on continuous, and air conditioning compressor. Any idea what retail might be? I just leased a new truck, and need to sell this.
Until you get the check engine light fixed, you might see $1000 and it may take a long time to sell. Fix the check engine light, finish any remaining maintenance, get an inspection report on the vehicle mechanical condition and have it on the seat, then: Asking $3500-$3900 and $2,000-$3000 finds it a new home (depending on condition which varies a lot with those high miles) and assuming everything works A1.
Do not forget it has the notorious Mopar tranny reputation.
Ok Terry, I need the bad news. Here's what I have.
2004 Titan SE 4X2 ext cab. 9,000k miles. color is red brawn, cloth interior. captions chairs. has tow pack, utility bed pack &extender. Still like new condition. Added chrome step bars. Located in Louisville, Kentucky.
I enjoy reading your "funny" and informative replies...
I have 1999 Toyota Camry CE Green w/grey int in San Diego, CA
It has a whopping 131k miles but as everyone says it's in excellent mechanical condition. Minor dings (2-3 on each side) w/a slight crack (2 inches) in the rear bumper. Power windows and locks. Aftermarket Sony CD w/mp3 and interior is very clean. 1 year old Michellin tires and brakes, timing belt, and water pump changed recently (6mo-1year). No other damage, original paint. Oh, one more thing, the rear driver side windows does not work, and front driver side windows rolls down well but comes back up slowly.
What is the trade in value and private sale price? I've seen 5900 to 8900 on Autotrader but I'm sure mine won't fetch that much...
.............. Now here's a guy that needs a better dating service ..l.o.l....
It's a 2wd, now's the time .. in your area 4/5 weeks ago, you couldn't give that dude away with a winning lottery ticket .... it's an SE Ecab, miles are kinda low, good color, quads and we have those cute little chrome step bars ....
If it's "CLEAN", no K Mart collisions, no paint by numbers, no chemistry experiments in the interior, just a nice one .... then trade side, in and around the mid/tall $18's, "maybe" the low/ mid $19's if it's really a nice one ....
Thanks Terry, It's actually 9000 miles.sorry for the brain lock....
, Just wondering what it's worth, Having the brake issues that all of them seem to have, also the a.c. is acting weird. Probably made a mistake, should have a bought a Tundra??
....... Nine thousand miles ............. ...l.o.l... I got it the first time around ....
They've had some problems, no doubt about it ....
People can knock all of the Detroit metal all they want -- but there's 80 kabillion Chevy/Ford/Dodge's trucks out there with 175/225/250k++ .... that said, the Tundra is a great truck, it may not tow my boat, but still a great vehicle .. besides, I'm from the old school and not a big purvayer of all of the hype from the auto mags, I'm in service departments, they're not -- let someone else be the Guinea Pig for the first few years while I watch ...l.o.l....
Not trying to defend Nissan, but thats a tuff tuff tuff market to break into, but I feel confident they can work it out in the next 12/15 months (I hope) ......
"Luck" and let me know what happens .............. :shades:

In Clevesburg ... we have a 01 Mazda MPV LX, we have 57k, the color is right, we have the rear breeze, we have the rack and some foggers ....

Thank you very much for your response! They offered me 15,500 and no further negotiations. Probably I would accept it, however we could not find common ground on the price of the car I was going to buy. They give me advice to try it again late summer, when new model year cars start hitting the lot, so they could give me better deal on 2005 one.

If, this bad boy is cleaner than the Board of Health and twice as sanitary, paint is day-glo, service is 110%, seats been hovered in, and it's been covered by a hand crafted Amish blanket since day one ... then trade side, in and around the mid/tall $8's, might "maybe" see the low/mid $9's if it's super clean and it needs -0- ..if it needs stuff, start deducting ...... down Retail Rd, finish the service, drop some new round things on it, call the bad boy detailer, have all the service records stuck to the ceiling, drop a nice 5/6 liner Ad in the "big" paper: $13,900 *asking* and cut and run at the first $12,5/$13,5 ..... don't get too greedy, the books show big numbers, but unless it has 50/60k, you won't see a dime of it .........
Updates are Mandatory ...!

Your number was high 26s low to mid 27s. They're hitting me at 25,000. I don't want to be difficult since I work here, but I think someone is getting a little greedy.
I see you are at the helm so I wanted to repost this and see if you had a rough estimate for me. I have something like 3 weeks left in Iraq and I am being told that the Pacifica is either going or we are buying a cheaper car for my wife to rivde the kids around in. Pacifica values do not look good so I think I might drive it if the value is too low.
Thanks for all the help

Okay, so my wife does not like her 2004 Pacifica anymore and we want to trade it in. Here are the details:
Location: Oklahoma City, OK
Year/Make/Model: 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
Body Style: wagon
Engine: 3.5 liter with auto
Driveline: AWD
Mileage: ~27,000
Color: Silver/ Light grey leather
Major Options: Leather
Condition:
1 small ding on the rear passenger door the size of a Sharpie pen point but otherwise it's awesome and clean. It's a typical careless door ding.
Interior is in excellent shape.
45% worn
All Maintenance done at Chrysler dealer
Other: Warranty repaint by Chrysler due to bad original paint quality. It was also rear-ended which meant a new bumper and tailgate sheet metal. The rear window was intact along with the tail lights so it wasn't a bad hit but it was a hit.
This was one of the first Pacificas that came with loads of stuff right out of the door. It does not have the sunroof or chrome wheels or DVD/Nav but it has everything else.
I was offered $21,000 in May of 2004 but I just couldn't stomach turning it in for a lesser car and being ~4K under.
I will be turning the vehicle in some time in the summer (I'm in Iraq right now) but I really don't want to lose too much on it. My wife dislikes the blind spots and they are so bad, in her view, that the car must go.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

===================================
Capt. Phil, I didn't see the military part til' now .... "Any help will be greatly appreciated" ----
... Any help.?? Your kidding , right.? ....
I just wanted to say: between you and all of our brave ladies and men over in Irag, and every place in-between, THANK YOU ...!!!
If it wasn't for brave souls like you and yours, there wouldn't be any Edmunds, or these discussions .. or the Freedom to buy what Americans want to buy .. and we would all be driving 1938 Fords, living in refrigerator boxes and speaking another language --- God Bless.!
Now, back to our regular scheduled programming in Oklahoma ..
We have a 04 Chrysler Pacifica AWD ... the miles are a little tall for the year, good color for the area, leather, we have some factory paint and some: "let's play doggems" to the rear bumper, these came with all the stuff, but no slider and no Disney package (no big deal) ..... trade side, depending on the dealer, in and around the super tall $18's low/mid $19's .. keep all of factory paperwork on the paint, this way (if they ask) you can show the warranty ..
Maybe consider Retail Rd - finish any service, superb detail, Glorious Fat Daddy Ad in the Big Oky paper, $22,900 *asking* and cut that dude loose for the first $21,5/$22,5 ....
Happy hunting, stay low and don't forget to let me know what happens.!
Thank you,
Terry.
2004 Mazda 6 s Wagon
Red with Tan Cloth Interior
VIN: 1YVFP82D945N66617
Condition: "Excellent"
Mileage: 13,065 Miles
Transmission: Automatic
Engine: V6 3.0 Liter
Equipment: Steering Wheel Radio Controls, Cruise Control, Tilt Steering Wheel, Power Windows, Power Locks, CD Player, Alloy Wheels
What do you think would bring this one home? I'd like to offer $15,880 OTD. Think that would cut her loose?
Or should I try to do better?
OTD....? .. dealer probably paid in and around the $14ish figure for it, add a this and that, and it probably hits the table in the mid/tall $14's ..... I would think that $15,5/$15,9 + the TTL would bring it home .................

It's a 2003 Dodge Dakota STX, 6 cyl, just under 30K miles, 2WD, auto, minor dings on driver's door, black ext. color, located in Orlando Florida, $10500.
If all is well ... then the dealer probably paid $8/$8,5ish for it ..
Mike .... It's black - in Florida - in May .... probably take $9,5/$9,9 just to get it off his lot .. did I mention, it's black..??
Terry.
Yeah, I thought about the black color here in Florida with the hot hot weather right around the corner. The wife has a black 04 Highlander, can cook an egg on it in July.....well almost......
Thx a bunch Terry......
**The wife has a black 04 Highlander** ...... no problems getting rid of that dude ..l.o.l......
Terry :P
I Have a 97 Voyager w/ 120k miles, dual sliding doors, metallic taupe/brown color, new muffler, new tie rod ends, short wheel base, 3.0 L, fabric interior, no CD just cassette, Newer tires (about 12K on them)... Needs a new EGR valve, which means check engine light on continuous, and air conditioning compressor. Any idea what retail might be? I just leased a new truck, and need to sell this.
In metro Detroit
Ed
Fix the check engine light, finish any remaining maintenance, get an inspection report on the vehicle mechanical condition and have it on the seat, then: Asking $3500-$3900 and $2,000-$3000 finds it a new home (depending on condition which varies a lot with those high miles) and assuming everything works A1.
Do not forget it has the notorious Mopar tranny reputation.
2004 Titan SE 4X2 ext cab. 9,000k miles.
color is red brawn, cloth interior. captions chairs.
has tow pack, utility bed pack &extender.
Still like new condition. Added chrome step bars.
Located in Louisville, Kentucky.
Thanks..........
You have 9 million miles on it already? 9,000k miles!!!!!
And the reason you are trying to unload it is?
I enjoy reading your "funny" and informative replies...
I have 1999 Toyota Camry CE Green w/grey int in San Diego, CA
It has a whopping 131k miles but as everyone says it's in excellent mechanical condition. Minor dings (2-3 on each side) w/a slight crack (2 inches) in the rear bumper. Power windows and locks. Aftermarket Sony CD w/mp3 and interior is very clean. 1 year old Michellin tires and brakes, timing belt, and water pump changed recently (6mo-1year). No other damage, original paint. Oh, one more thing, the rear driver side windows does not work, and front driver side windows rolls down well but comes back up slowly.
What is the trade in value and private sale price? I've seen 5900 to 8900 on Autotrader but I'm sure mine won't fetch that much...
Your expert help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Yrneh
It's a 2wd, now's the time .. in your area 4/5 weeks ago, you couldn't give that dude away with a winning lottery ticket .... it's an SE Ecab, miles are kinda low, good color, quads and we have those cute little chrome step bars ....
If it's "CLEAN", no K Mart collisions, no paint by numbers, no chemistry experiments in the interior, just a nice one .... then trade side, in and around the mid/tall $18's, "maybe" the low/ mid $19's if it's really a nice one ....
Good luck -- and let me know ...!
Terry.
It's actually 9000 miles.sorry for the brain lock....
, Just wondering what it's worth, Having the brake issues that all of them seem to have, also the a.c. is acting weird. Probably made a mistake, should have a bought a Tundra??
They've had some problems, no doubt about it ....
People can knock all of the Detroit metal all they want -- but there's 80 kabillion Chevy/Ford/Dodge's trucks out there with 175/225/250k++ .... that said, the Tundra is a great truck, it may not tow my boat, but still a great vehicle .. besides, I'm from the old school and not a big purvayer of all of the hype from the auto mags, I'm in service departments, they're not -- let someone else be the Guinea Pig for the first few years while I watch ...l.o.l....
Not trying to defend Nissan, but thats a tuff tuff tuff market to break into, but I feel confident they can work it out in the next 12/15 months (I hope) ......
"Luck" and let me know what happens .............. :shades:
Terry.

=====================================
Question: why are you trading the 7,900 mile Mazda 6 for an Accord..?
In Clevesburg ... we have a 01 Mazda MPV LX, we have 57k, the color is right, we have the rear breeze, we have the rack and some foggers .... If ~ the rubber is deep, the service is from yesterday, no soccer Mom interior and it hasn't hit every pothole and salt truck in the NE ... then trade side, in and around the super tall $7's low/mid $8's, might "maybe" get super lucky and see a dealer waddle towards the $9 figure if it's reeeeal nice, glows in the dark and it needs -0- ... if it needs stuff, start deducting .......
The "6" ..?? ..... auto ..? 4dr...? Wagon ...?? .. auto ...? ........... handshaker .??????
Hellooooooo, is this thing on...??? ... DESCRIPTION.!
