My friend just got a quote on his 03 350Z Enthusiast, with leather seats, hid, with 24k of miles and got 15k. That was from Car Max.

3. Got the loan through PenFed for 3.99%
4. Blind appraised my car at around $14,000. (2005, yellow, base coupe, 6sp, 31000 miles)
Edumunds says it should be trade-in for $14838.
KBB says $15000.

Drove an hour and half up to the dealer to close the deal. I was so excited! We were doing some paper work and he was gonna take the deposit to get my new ride here. In walks one of the managers...

Manager: "Ummm excuse me. How much did you want out of your trade-in?"
Me: $14000 we agreed on why?
Manager: "Says here it's only worth $7000 - $10000 max..."
Me:
Manager: "I called several different lots and auction houses and they said it's only worth around $7000..."
Me: ..... Wait are you serious?

Did I miss something? Did the value of 350z's magically drop over night? I looked at Edmunds, KBB, Auto trader and even Ebay. All cars similar to mine are going for $15000 - $20000. Even if they would have said ok how about 12k or 13k I would have done it... but $7000!? That's just insulting!

What do you guys think?
