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.
