just wondering

[mspracer21]

does ne body know what the trade in value for a msp is

 

[t3ase]

How about condition, mileage, abnormal wear, smoke smell, mods, stock?, upkeep, scheduled maintence, area, color, noises, etc..

There are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many variables for that general of a question. OrangeMSP got more for his trade-in than he bought the car for but he also had MANY mods done to it. I would get considerably less than 10k for my car since I have >30,000 miles on it and smoke in it along with a book of warranty receipts.

 

[mspracer21]

every thing is good as new and only has 13000 miles and a yr old

 

[t3ase]

Any mods? Tint? New tires? Blah blah blah?

 

[mspracer21]

its stock but i though ppl dont look at mods as i increase of value

 

[t3ase]

Heh, tell that to OrangeMSP. =)

I'd suggest just taking the car to dealerships near you and ask around at a few of em. Again, area and demand has a lot to do with it.

 

[mspracer21]

understandable....i was just wonder how msp are in value thats all..

 

[funnylittlman]

if you go to www.edumonds.com you can find out the value. I got 15,556 for mine with 10k miles in EXCELENT condition on a trade... they would turn around and retail it for over 18K

T3ase is right, you gotta go to the dealers and haggle w/ them. I wouldnt get anything less than 14,500 to 15K. Tell them to bite you if they offer 13

To caculate your trade in value use this simple equation

3_
\/3
/
| 2 3 X pi 3_
| z dz X cos(--------) = ln (\/e )
| 9
/
1

Which, of course, translates to:

Integral z-squared dz
from 1 to the cube root of 3
times the cosine
of three pi over 9
equals log of the cube root of 'e'
