Hey Guys,

I've got a dealer about where I want on a 17' 1LE, wondering what you guys think I should be able to get for my current 1LE in trade value?

My current is a:
2014 AGM 1LE
31400 miles
Every Option except sunroof
Factory Recaro's
All Stock
Bought 6 months ago CPO - so has bumper to bumper transferable warranty until 6/2017 or 48k miles

The only appraisal I can find that takes account the 1LE package is NADA, Prices below:

Rough Average Clean Retail
Price with Options $24,825 $26,250 $27,400 $30,175

Looking online I see other 14' 1LE's going for 27k-32k ish with less or comparable miles. So, what's realistic?

Thanks

They would prob offer $25k. What dealer?

Their first offer they will low ball you to see if you know what you are doing. Set a price you are comfortable with and stick with it.

Always best to sell your car first then go to the dealership and purchase with no trade in. Carmax is normally pretty good on being close NADA.

Depends on state tax rules. In my state..Ga. when you trade in you only pay tax on the difference.. that can help you decide trade or sell...

Same in TX. Selling out right would prob still be better but then you have to deal with knuckleheads that lowball you worse than a dealer. Takes time to find the right buyer and the color 1LE I want is on the lot now.

Very true!!!! I only paid about $700 in sales tax thanks to trading in my 2012!

why did you buy a 5th gen 1LE 6 months ago when this car was announced a year ago?

[thescreensavers]

You posted retail numbers not trade in numbers.

Trade in will be a few grand lower

For example a base 2016 1ss 15k miles trade in is ~27k back at end of jan

Because the 17 wasn't out yet - thanks for the helpful insight.

The last number is retail - the first three reading left to right are trade in.
