when i was at service at my local dealer i decide to test drive one and see what price they can sell me....the one i drove has 16k all the option like cd, p-snrf, p-seats, except leather and it's auto....color of car is pearl white and with my 98 SE trade in they were going to sell to me for $16999....is this good price or should i shop around some more?

 

What are they ASKING for the 2003?

 

they're sellin price were $23999...i personally think $7 grade for my 98 max is low for trade in..

 

i was just in the same situation as u. the insurance gave me 10,343 for my 98 with every option and 69k. i got a 2k2 with everything except nav with 13k for 25g's. hope this helps a lil

 

lol.... he is going to sell it to you for 16999 with trade it
if he gives you 7000 for your trade then he is SELLING you the car for 23999.

your trade-in has nothing to do with the selling price of the car

Tell them you wont trade and get the best price for the car that you can.
2-3k less then the asking price. THEN ask them how much for the trade.
if they wont give you much sell it on your own. subtracting the "trade value" of the car from the purchase price is a tactic/trick that the dealerships use to confuse you. Also, they are going to make money off your trade anyhow. and if they say they will be losing money they are full of **** !

 

thats a horrible price i got a 2k3 titanium edition with all that and more wiht 17miles on it for 23k flat plus tax tag

 

hey 98coupev6 :

go look at the car again...
look in the botton parts of the drive or passenger door, or elseware to see if it was a rental car... If it was you can talk him down another couple grand

 

dont forget to take location into consideration. that plays a big part in prices too. that could be a good price for where he lives..

 

i will check out some more couple of days from now...plus he told me there is couple of 2k2-2k3 coming in next week...more selection to pick from....i really want one with leather....

 

its better to wait and get what you want, keep us posted on how it goes down...

 

make sure they arent previous rental's!
