Good to know though. |
Your Sig --> 2004 RX8 GT 6MT, Ti Grey w/ appearance package. Racing Beat Rev8 exhaust, AFE short shifter, Fender strakes, RB A/C screens, 3rd brake light RX8 mask, splash guards, sunroof wind deflector, rear rotary accent, clear corners, 8000k HID bulbs...more to come!
Car dealers scorn at pimped-out cars. Trade-in values will reflect the scorn. Also something to consider is the car you are planning to trader into. If you are getting a good discount, chances are the dealer will lowball you on rx-8 in order to recoup the discount lost. Pretty simple stuff. And finally it's 04..... :smoker: |
umm...not to hate but trade-in values are ALWAYS low. you should never been surprised with a low trade-in and even expect it unless you have a very coveted car that they know will sell easily. we have a niche car, they don't want it.
anyway, trade-ins are always low. my gf's camry trade-in was under 7k, we sold it privately for almost 10k. don't give up on the switch, just give up on the trade-in part. sell it and go to the dealer with cash. also - fyi - over 100k is always a HUGE red flag for anyone, not matter the car (save maybe civics). everyone is afraid of a high mileage car. |

Check out other car resale value as a % of new transaction price and you'll change your opinions; I did. 112k miles is buku miles for a 5 year old car, too. Slushboxs sell for about 10% less than MTs, too. I have found new car prices are better than used car prices since boondoggle cash for clunkers, too. I test drove 8 cars to replace my 8 now that we have a 10 month old and have one on the way and nothing comes close to the 8 in terms of sports car/daily driver comfort (and it runs like a champ in the snow with iPike W409s, too. If you want a great family car that is still sporty and pretty fun to drive, do yourself a favor and check out an Audi A3. I test drove the TDI version and was pretty impressed. If I get another car, the A3 is probably the way I'll go. |
@Huskyfan03 - Check KBB's Private Sale value. You do better than $6250!
|
this is why im turning mine into a track car
|
Of course the trade-in value depends upon where you live. I just did a KBB look-up for my area, in Rhode Island next to your state of Connecticut. The trade-in value for an '04 MT with 112,000 miles in "good" condition is about $6,800. The value for a private party sale is $9.320. But I wouldn't count on a dealer giving you that amount for a trade-in. I had a talk with a salesman I know, and for a car over 100,000 miles, they will give you whatever the local auction house will buy it from the dealer for.

dibs on the AFE short shifter, Fender strakes, RB A/C screens
if u part those out and the price is right |
trade-in value on a 2 year old GT is about 15k on a 04 with over 100k on the ticker 6-7k is about right.
|
umad?

Try this, go get another 30K~ ish brand new car, put 110K miles on it. sell it back out see how much you will get ?
Im 6~ K is a bit low, but its not that far off, you'd be lucky to get 8+ K out of any car that has 110K miles on it. especially in America, where brand new cars are dirt cheap. |

It is the high mileage hurtiing you. Let's face it you got your use out of it. That's all it is worth on trade. see below. Try selling it outright for $7500(private party price). You might get it since there are not many rx8s out there with such high mileage depreciation. A sports car is a sportscar high mileage or not. Teens with part time jobs would love to have a car like yours and could afford it too. Put it in the classified ads before trading. Trade -in is giving it away. That is of course unless there is something wrong with your 8.
