Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 31, 2007 9:10 am) I have one other question. Is a Saab dealer more likely to give me a higher trade in figure than the Honda dealer which gave me the $4,000 offer? |

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 31, 2007 8:18 am) It's just as well because I've come back to reality - it makes no sense (not to mention cents) to trade something that gets 28 on the road for 18 when gas is three bucks a gallon. |

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 31, 2007 8:14 am) miles are high for an 06. There are cars w/ less than 30k miles going for that much in the lower 48. Thanks, that's what I thought. However, they are newbies at trading in cars, this was their first new one ever and they think its worth a lot more than $13k. Personally I think the dealer is being generous, but unfortunatly they don't see it that way. Ah well, everyone has to learn by the school of depreciation sometime! |

Replying to: fordloser (Dec 31, 2007 8:57 am) Yes it is. However, this isn't a car that any dealer is going to want to pay real money for anyway. You could try selling it yourself, but you probably won't get alot more. |

Replying to: scottinky (Dec 31, 2007 12:52 pm) My "guess" is high $20's |

wow, that blows considering it had a 52k sticker on it i would eat 6-7K, not 15k |

Replying to: fordloser (Dec 31, 2007 8:57 am) Maybe, but when you go to trade-in the new saab in a few years, you'll still be faced with the crummy resale value of saabs. If there's one area where saabs are still slightly popular, it must be New England. If you have the patience, I'd try craigslist, the want ad, etc. (start at $5900? or $5700?) And yours has very low miles. But by trading it, you'd also get the 5% tax break; another $200 or so...... |
