yea Cell..I'm expecting to get 6 for it on trade-it...I understand that dealers are tough on giving you the higher end on a trade. Whatever the difference to 10K I'll put down cash. I want to put a little over 20% down total.
I wasn't aware of the tax savings on a trade in..good to know
I'm in PA.
The drop in insurance makes sense on the safety aspect..my car has absolutely no safety features aside from airbags..but its worth 30K less so I'm not too sure on how insurance figures that one out?
"nismoracer"...I completely agree that the trade-in process is waaay easier than getting toyed around with people....almost worth the say 2k extra you make on private sale...but on the flip side I have had people offer to buy my car after I say I'm looking for a new car, so it might be easier than expected to sell. I might test the waters for a week and see how it goes..low mileage preludes are hard to find nowadays..let alone in good shape.
Honestly I wish I could keep it (lude) as a DD but I need that extra trade/sale value to get my monthly payment within reason. The NISMO will be my DD but I work only a couple miles away and have a SUV for bad weather or DD if needed. More than likely the NISMO will be a sunny weather car covered or garaged.
