Hey guys, I haven't been on the RX8 forums in quite some time, but have since decided to trade in my 8 (the blue/white 96 viper gts in my garage persuaded me to).

Anyhow, I am trading the car into a dealership next week as a trade (picking up a daily driver). They are offering me $16K, but I would like more if possible. I figure I need an offer of $19K+ to make it worth my while...So if anyone is interested the vehicle has:

-23K miles
-6spd trans
-Xenon factory headlights
-Upgraded Bose stereo
-Navigation
-Sunroof
-Cruise control
-Brand new back tires


I should mention that I had a 5mph fender bender, where the front bumper cracked and had to be replaced. There was no structural damage.


Anyone interested or should I trade her in to the dealer?

trade it. pretty decent offer and will save you a boat load on tax's

That's what i was planning on doing unless I got a really good offer.

My friend works at the dealership I am trading in at and told me it was a good offer. I haven't seen him in a while so I wanted to make sure it really was a good offer.

deleted- sales tax savings below

I understand you'll reduce your sales tax with the trade in, but 3000$ worth? at 7% PA/philly tax rate the 16k trade in will save you $1120. You'd break even at 17120 with a private party sale, the rest is gravy.

edmunds.com says trade-in value is 17,900 for outstanding condition, 17300 for good, kbb.com also says 17.900 for excellent, 16.900 for good...kbb could be higher depending on the options-

do you have sport, touring, GT packages?

do you have stability control?
thanks

Still available? PM if so...thanks!

I'm in Philly north suburbs (quakertown) if your car is still for sale I'm interested pls reply privately Thanks!
