I got a 97 Gxe with 45k on it..and a 99 Gxe with 50k on it..I would was thinking maybe I can upgrade to a 2000 or 2001 for say 4-5k and the 97. I found one at my dealership a 2000 with 17k Manual for 18,900. What do u think the dealer would give me for my 97? would he give me 13 in trade or not even close more like 8 or 9?

 

i think u would be lucky if the dealer gives u 13k for ur 97....i think they would only give u about 8k for it cus u do have
pretty low miles there....and they'll in turn sell it for around 12k.
and for a 2000 manual for 18,900 is kinda high...but it depends
on where u live...when i was looking for a 2000 last yr with about 19-20k miles and auto..they wanted $16k and $17k for ones with 100k warranty so they can go down on that 2000 max w/MT to about $15-16k...manuals do or suppose to cost less than autos

 

yeah im gonna go see my dealer and see if he wants to do anything. thnx peace

 

$13k?? The dealership wouldn't even sell it for that much.

kbb.com states $7,325 for a 97 GXE w/45k auto, and $6,815 for a manual. This is with no extra options added & with the vehicle in "Good" and not "Excellent" condition though. Wouldn't expect any more than $7,500-7,750

 

The dealer will give you a wholesale price. Expect to get anywhere from $6K to $9K maximum. I don't see why you would want to trade a perfectly nice car for a fugly 5th gen.

 

maybe u can try sellng ur car rather then trading it in...u'll most
likely get burned by trading it in, since they'll take it at wholesale price...if u sell it u might be able to get around $10-12k

 

If you do decide to trade-in the 97, don't mention it initially. Bargain on the 2k Max, finalize a good deal and once the figures are set, tell the dealer that you want to trade-in the 97. This will definitely get you a better deal than letting the dealer know about the trade-in in advance. Just my $0.02

 

i wouldn't try this
they'll jus low ball u on ur trade

 

he's right, they would only give me $8000 for mygxe w/45K miles,i said no thanx, they suck

 

I have a 98 gxe with like 49k, mint, and I would be shocked if I got $9 or 10 for it
