Hi ..

- Edmunds come back with trade-in $18700 - 75% of that would be $14000 (this is actually the figure i was thinking)
- KBB come back with trade-in $18515

So what do u guys think

$13-14k would be fair then. I still wonder why the seller wants out of a two year old car. If he is trading up to a new car, then ask him what the dealership offered him in trade and up that by $500 for and offer. Why not?

Spend the money and have it inspected by YOUR trusted mechanic ($200?). Tell him the known history and go for it if you both agree it's a deal. IMHO.

the car had another offer now for 17K, so the other potential buyer is checking it out , and will know the outcome soon enough, However i'm now more convinced than ever that this is true value of the car $14k

Stay tuned !

What was your final deal on the car? (If you don't mind.)

I sure don't mind, final deal was 16K, i tried the 14 , 15 .. but he wouldn't agree, after i verified it has extended warranty till 100k miles/2010 .. i felt OK with the deal ..it also has NAV, COMND ....

Thoughts & advice are appreciated
