Replying to: volvomax (Dec 03, 2007 8:20 am) Just as a follow-up, the dealer offered me $16,000 in trade towards the 2008 Subaru Outback XT that I just ordered. |

A friend of ours is thinking the dealer is giving them the shaft on trade in value......what do you think? 2006 Subaru Forester X 4-cyl/manual AWD 45k miles Black/grey No major options, has plain wheels and such Its in good shape, no accidents, clean All maintenance dealer performed, just had its 45k service tires good, brakes good no accident history 1 owner car Dealer is offering $13k, they are looking at a new 08 Forester. Thanks!

Got yet another example yesterday how the "books" bear little relation to reality when I shopped my '05 Honda Odyssey R&N (nice vehicle with 38,500 miles) on a new 07 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4wd in Columbus. Edmunds trade value = $25,000 NADA trade value = $24,750 KBB trade value = $22,825 (excellent condition) or $21,570 (good) The Sequoia (their last '07 on the lot) stickered at $39,539 and was window priced at $31,900, basically invoice less $3000 rebate. Just asked 'em for a number on the Odyssey (and we did zero negotiation) so their $20,000 figure could be considering an opening bid. I, however, saw it a lowball making it unworth my time to grind. Was a bit surprised though because I thought that they would REALLY want to move the Sequoia.

And leave trying to figure out dlr retail pricing 'til later. It's got real high miles for an '05, & needs tires, etc. Private buyers may try to offer you less than carfax, is my guess......or you might make an extra $1000.....maybe......
