How did I do on trade?

Well, now I am butthurt. My co-worker traded in her 2012 Dodge truck. It had about 5K less miles on it, and the tires were in better shape than my 370Z. She got around $26K for it, and they also came off of the price of the used vehicle (A GMC) that she got, by roughly the same amount they came off the vehicle I got. Her truck MSRP was $45K.

So basically, my Nissan had close enough to the same residual value as a Dodge pickup. Not exactly known for highest retained value.

You can argue about the wreck history on carfax all you want, but KBB (very generous) pegged my car at a trade-in of $24,XXX, and the carfax even said my car was worth a few hundred MORE than KBB even after the wrecks it listed, so go figure.

These 370's drop like a ROCK!

I blame this on Nissan's slashed price for '14.

I think that if I had bought a '14, stickering for $39K, set up just like my car, argued them down to about $36K, THEN I would have been happy with the value vs. performance. MEh. I digress. Nissan ate their own customer base with this move.
