Thanks, volvomax. So I'm pretty much on track thinking that the Mazda + $2000 is a reasonable offer?

Still, I just have this gut feeling that ownership costs would be 4 times what they'd be for my Miata.
 
I know what you mean; I lust after a 993.
That said, my Mazdaspeed3 is proving to be less reliable AND more expensive to run than my 1995 3 Series.

It SHOULD be.

Ok- that sounds good- sort of what I was looking at. Thanks.
I have been looking at Auto Trader, Edmunds, Car Max. The ones on Ebay seem to be newer. Any other sites you can think of? It sounds stupid, but I would like a cream/yellow or white car.
Thanks for your time.

Doesn't matter what the auction price is.
If the dealer wanted a loss like that, they would have taken the car to the sale.

 
just to speak up in sbuhler's defense, he didn't say he would offer trade-in value, only that he wanted to know what it was to base negotiations on.
 
Personally, I'd do the same thing. Find out trade-in, factor in profit/markup, and factor in the 0 miles factor. So we could be talking an extra $3k-$5k than if the dealer took it to auction themselves.
 
Not to say your assumption is incorrect, vmax. The poster certainly COULD be looking to offer flat trade-in value. But we probably shouldn't assume that. Benefit of the doubt and all.

GTO for Acura RDX by corduroy_gt

I want to trade my 2006 GTO for 09 Acura RDX
I have 34.5k miles, manual transmission with brand new clutch
18" wheels, silver with red interior
Car's in good condition a couple of scratches that buffing didn't take out on the right door.
I owe 18k on the car, how much will I lose when I trade it in? I was hoping not more than 3k to get rid of it?
No accidents but I had both my side windows replaced due to attempted theft.
 
Thanks

the fact that they still have an 07 on the lot after all this time leads me to believe that any negotiation based on auction prices is doomed to failure.
Dealer is probably hoping for a rube to take the truck.
My advice is to look for an 08.
