    Default Trade in

    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.

    Thanks in advance

    You'll need to provide a bit more than that basic info. For example:

    Exec? Acclaim? Berlina?
    V6 or V8?
    Optional equipment?
    Modified?
    Colour?

    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.

    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.

    Default Check Redbook!

    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.
