Got Good Trade-In Price

[Tri-C]

Traded my MAZDASPEED earlier this week on a new '03 Bonneville SSEi. Because of the way the deal was structured (internet deal with price of Pontiac set first before a trade was mentioned), there is no doubt as to the true trade-in price received.

A Buick-Pontiac-GMC Truck dealer in southern Kentucky gave me $16,000 for my silver Speed which had approximately 1000 miles on it. After the deal was concluded I questioned them as to why they paid so much. They said they were willing to go $15,000 and then try to retail it themselves but found a dealer in Indiana who bid $16,000.

I paid $16,074 for it new in January 2004. No doubt I will never do this well on a trade again!

I've enjoyed my time on these boards and wish everybody well as I head for the Bonneville site.

The Bonneville part doesn't surprise me as much as trading a 5-month-old vehicle with only 1,000 miles on it. Oh well, at least he broke even on it.

that's funny considering I traded in m Dakota R/T on my MSP because we wanted kids. We have a 12 year old, a 11 month old and one on the way. The MSP holds the same number of car seats as the Bonneville. MSP = Family Car.

Ouch, talk about a bummer. I remember how crappy the car felt when I drove in it. Even the newer Comp G Grand Prix is better and that car sucks. I understand trading in the MSP, but I would never consider a GM vehicle with exception of a Caddy or Vette a deal. (shocked)

(rofl) ain't that the truth... I probably wouldn't even get that much when I am done at the end of this month

At first I was offered $12,000 for trade-in and I said no I want $17,000 (hey why not). They came back with $16,500 and I drove home a new EVO.
Another dealer wanted to give me $10,000.
