I've recently been looking into trading in the 8 due to new driving requirments anyway the other day it got appraised for 16k to "up to" 17.5k. I was floored, I thought they would give me around 22k ish??? Oh 6 speed, it has 17k on it with Nav, Spare, Spolier, Rotary Acc, tan/black combo, splash guards, it's always freakishly clean etc. Anyone else think thats low even for a trade or is that just the way the cookie crumbles?

Edmunds trade in runs about $20k, fully loaded, Clean condition. That would be the most you could expect out of it. But a dealer will appraise based on what they can get for your car. And they aren't exactly selling like hotcakes.
