For funks sake

I can get Ford employee discount.

My trade in is the problem ,....

I have a 91 Cressida 24v MPFI straight 6

in burgundy metalic skin, GLX and velour trim with all electric options and alloys

with 176k on the clock , which aint too bad for a 12 yr old car

they wanna give me 4 grand 4 it against a XR6 Turbo

Are they on funking drugs or what ?

A guy at the pub tonight offered me 7k for it.. so its gotta be worth more than that ,...

I take it they want me to buy an SV8......... where they will give me a better deal on a SV8

and they have 4 grand off the ticket price and give me 8 grand for my trade in.

what the funk is going on here

Mate you are going well to get 4 for it , sell the thing privatly especially if you have some one with 7 to buy. that's as good as you will get!

Redbook says trade in price of $4700 to $6100. Private sale price up to $8100.

Trade ins are rips! They offered me $17 000 dollars for my AU XR6VCT with 76 000km, I later sold it for $25 250 even though I spent about $15 000 on mods<------wont be doing this in a hurry with the BA, lose SO much money.

Negotiate the best trade in you can with a dealer with the intention of selling the car privately. Let the dealer know you will try and sell it privately and that if you do you will pay them the agreed trade in value when you pick the T up. That way you are covered if you are unable to sell the car before your turbo arrives.

l think 4 grand is ok.

Sounds about right there. Totally unfair to the person trading the vehicle in, but when roles are reversed you have got to think can they sell the vehicle?

A ford dealer wouldnt sell it on their lot, they would wholesale it off to a 2nd hand caryard most likely, who would prob buy it for $5000 then put $8990 on it. Unfortunately, even if the car is in good nick it wont hold a good price because of the newer cars on the roads these days.

How would you feel if you spent $90,000 large on a lexus LS-400 10 yrs old mint condition only to trade it in for $20,000.

Happened last week.....

I got $14,000 for my 1999 pulsar SSS with 120k on it. Was spot on the mark I was expecting for trade. It also has a fair fey shopping centre dints in the doors (22 in total) from careless F-wits. I was happy with this.
