hey guys, im thinking about trading up to a cobra 04 preferably.. what you guys think i can get for my GT 2002 with 32k miles and mods in sig? i still owe around 10 grand on the note... so how much you think the dealership would give me for it if i wanted to trade upto a cobra?

 

I traded in my 03 GT Vert last year and I think they gave me like $16,800 for it and it was in perfect shape.....It's hard to say how much you'd get for it....but since you don't have a ton of miles on it will help you.

 

Sell it yourself.You will get alot more for it.

 

insurance for a 19 year old will kill you unless ur parents "drive" it..hah

 

haha ya its under my dads name and I pay for it but then again his isnt even that great lol.. but since i owe 10g on it how does that work? do they give me a price say 16k and deduct 10k from it?

 

i highly doubt youll get 16

 

I'd say they will offer you around $13,000 maybe less.Yes it has low miles and is in great condition but they go by Nada and Kelly Blue book values.

I looked it up on NADA and they say that Avg. trade in value with your miles is $13,025 with a retail value of $15,375.The dealer won't care what mod's have been done to it and would probally rather have it stock.

 

Also whenever you trade in a car you are alway's getting screwed one way or the other.I will never trade a car in ever again.

When I sold my GT I went $2000 under the retail value so I knew I could sell it.I was right between the trade in value and the retail value.I left all my Mod's on the car and took a loss for all the time and money spent on it but was able to sell it fast like I wanted.

 

i dont no man we my boss just traded in his bone stock white 04gt convert with 13k miles with mach1000 in it and only got 13500

 

do the trade in value with KBB. that's what a ton of dealer's go by, at least here in the Dayton area. Whatever that figure comes out to be, is about what they'll give you.

I say 14.5K if you're really lucky. Mines an 01 GT w/ 58K miles and I'll only get 10.3K for it. They care more about the year than mileage, to a certain point.

If mine only had 31K miles on it, I would still only get 11K. Since yours in an 04, that'll help some.

 

When I bought my cobra I asked just for the hell of it what they would give me for my GT and they said 16 and at the time my car had 4,500 miles on it

 

you can get value...

sell it in your front yard... or if ya know someone on a busy road...

some young kid will come up and pay alot of cash... just make it really shiny

 

shouldve sold the gt and not the cobra..haha

 

Interesting reading...

Uninformed consumers at fault for signing the paperwork and especially blank paperwork.

The dealer is no doubt shady and rude but if you are easily ripped off any dealer will take advantage, maybe not to that extent but still.
