I definitely do not get emotional and I'm ready to walk away.
In my previous purchases, I never lost so much money on my trade (I always got the average KBB figure) so I do not see a reason to start now....
19K maybe is the selling price of a bare bone 2014 Q50 for 50K miles or more, definitely not a low mileage Q50 Sport AWD loaded with every imaginable gizmo....even if my car is a 2014 it was so advanced in electronics back then that there are many luxury cars currently on the market that still do not offer all the options I have...my car was the first with the "Super cruise" capability meaning it can literally steer by itself as long as the curve is not too sharp.....you can drive for miles in some stretches of freeways without touching the steering wheel.
In my neck of the woods, a similar vintage and similarly optioned Q50 has a asking price of 26-28K.
I think dealers are still simply too fat and happy on the good times (car sales have been on a tear for years) but things are changing fast, sales are slowing down significantly, interest rates keep going up and the stock market is in a bit of a tailspin......both Cadillac and Chevrolet dealers got my number and know my figures...let's see if in December or January, in the middle of the winter with hard to sell powerful RWD models such as the ZL1 or the CTS-V, they are ready to change their tune....ain't changing mine...
Do not gorge too much on the turkey folks!!
