Hollywood Toyota in South Florida had at least four that I could see while waiting for my oil change. Two were the Sports which looked way nicer with the standard alloys. Seems like a reallly small car compared to my Civic. I got to sit in the Accord and the CRV and they both had alot of room...seemed like they were about even on interior space. The CRV had the nicer alloys, EX model, and a nicer cloth. Seats were downright comfortable also, which is a major plus with my spinal problems. The Accord had leather power seats which were even better, as I could manipulate the seat into a very comfortable position. Two good choices but the smaller size and the excellent mpg's of my Civic just confirmed as to why I did buy it. Still plan to get the wife to look closely at the new Accord in the next few years though. The Sandman

People check my inventory all of the time and spot cars that have already been sold. It's possible, I suppose that there could be stores sitting on that many cars? No reason to give these away since they sell so quickly. |

Anyone happen to have any information on the real-world trade in value on an 07' Fit Sport (A/T) w/ 7,000 miles. I'm in the Military and looking two possibly trade-in 2 vehicles for an new 08' "something" (not sure what as of yet)...would love to keep the Fit...but thought the 2 for 1 scenario might work well...and then possibly get an 08' Fit? It's either that (trade 2 for 1) or just sell the other vehicle I have (Nissan Armada) and keep the 07' Fit...Again, I'm in the Military and have to get down to one vehicle due to an upcoming move overseas where we can only bring one vehicle. Fun stuff... Thanks for any feedback!

Replying to: mbunting (Aug 26, 2007 1:41 am) Probably you will have to sell it to a dealer. Spend a day shopping it to 5 or 6 dealers around town. (preferably some nissan) Tell the used car manager you must sell this car today as you are being shipped out, and need his best shot on this auto. You will sell it to him right now if he beats other offers. No matter what the offer, you are dissappointed, leave your card with cell # and repeat with the other 6 dealers. After this is all done and possible call backs take the best offer out of 6. If little enthusiasm at least try to bump one of them enough to pay off the loan, or as close to kbb.com or nada.com wholesale as possible. On a desirable vehicle you will get competing bids on the phone. On the Armada I don't know as it depends on the market for these vehicles which I think is rather poor. Your area may be different so the only way to know is to find out and get the bids. If you are underwater still with the best bid with a loan on the armada you may have to come up with some cash. You need to call the bank for the procedure here, where your check (made out to the bank) for the difference goes. Its easier if the car is paid off. I really don't know what 2 trades on one vehicle gets you, when you already have a brand new model of the one you want (which you probably already paid a bit of a premium for when the Fit just came out) Good luck --jjf Anyone happen to have any information on the real-world trade in value on an 07' Fit Sport (A/T) w/ 7,000 miles.

Thanks for the info/words of advice everyone... I'm trying to sell the Armada now via private party...and will try that for a few weeks or a month or two and see where that gets me. I have already had a couple folks interested and we will see how that goes. If I can sell the Armada - I'll definitely do that and keep the 07' Fit. I *like* the car, while my wife *loves* it. So, I have no real problem keeping it. When I bought the Fit (almost 1 year ago today0 I paid MSRP (like many) but got a few freebies thrown in (floor mats, 3 oil changes, etc.)...I know...nothing major there, so, basically, I paid MSRP If thr Armada does not sell, that's when I am going to have to explore the trade-in option more viably for sure. I definitely owe more than what it's worth, and I do know that I'll have to come up with the cash difference, which won't be a problem..I just want to of course try and minimize the damage:) jfritsch - thanks for the suggestion! I will explore this if the Armada does not sell. As long as we get rid of 1 car things will be okay...at first I thought I preferred getting rid of the Fit or both cars and getting a new one, but now I would prefer to get rid of the Armada and it's negative equity once and for all! many thanks everyone! I will keep you informed... |
