I know it will be difficult to get an accurate gauge here, but I'd just like to run this past you guys.
Wondering roughly what I might score as a trade in for my 04 auto wagon.

Thnx guys
i'm not sure so don't go with what i say, but maybe $15,000ish, seen vz sv6's selling for $19,000 with 90,000km's on them on car yards, might get more depends on what the dealer or yard thinks its it worth to them.
Thnxs for your opinin mate
Dont go to a dealer unless your trading in. Sell it privately, youll get more for it.
I reckon they would offer you 10K tops.
When you can buy 03/04 SS's with under 100k for 15 - 20k, and the exec's are the pov packs you can buy for 10k on Pickles, I think you would be very hard pushed to get a good trade in.
It's a little more of a hassle selling private, but will be well worth the time V the extra money you will get.
UPDATE: rung a dealer the other day (cause I was making an enquiry on something else) and they said for the specs you gave, would be looking about 7k as a trade in if it was in good nick.
To give you a guide.

If you check Car Prices - Search Car Prices & Values Online - Red Book, they advise a trade in value in the range $6,400 to $8,000 for 80K to 130K. Private sale range is $9,000 to $10,600.
Depending on how the deal/dealer is set up, you might "get" a bigger trade in rather than a big/bigger discount.
When I bought a new MY09 manual SV6 last December, I got a trade in of 20% higher than the maximum redbook figure for a 2004 VYII manual sedan. Before considering the trade in, I had also negotiated a drive away price for the vehicle of $30,766. Only option was metallic paint.
Now if the dealer had charged RRP, my trade in would have been more than $2,000 more than I had paid for the vehicle when new in 2004.
New cars are at very competitive prices. Result is depressed used car values, which takes a little of the shine away. But still a good time to buy a Holden now.
mate got 4500 for their vy with 200 thousand on it executive on a trade in
depends if you trade it in on a brand newy, you'll get slightly more on brand new cars
