Trade in Value

[Turbodog97]

Well, Ive completly ran out of money on the 1995 Eclipse GST so Im considering trading for an SE-R or 240sx. Has anybody sold or traded their eclipse before? Im just worried that I wont get near the cash invested. It has the 1g head swap, ingen everything, greddy exhaust, blitz kit, new clutch coolant lines belts etc, gauges and such, greddy bov, and some other stuff. I assume carmax will do nothing but a dealer trade in or??? Right now I have it listed in for 10000 in autotrader but I dono if thats too high or what. Thanks again.

your best off parting out your aftermarket items on dsmtrader or ebay and converting it back to stock. you'll make more $ that way.

if you buy from a dealership you can expect your acv figure to be somwhere around $500 less then nada or kbb wholsale value. whichever one's less. you can't do anything about that, and any extra $ they give you for it will come from the markup on the car your looking at buying. just a game of number munipulation.

on that note. i'll buy your 1g head/intake/tb for $100 =)

www.kbb.com will give trade in value, I'm sure www.nada.com will too. Its substantially less than private party or retail value, and mods do NOT matter at all on trade ins. My truck has a trade in of ~14000, private party resale of ~17000, and a dealer retail value of 20000. Thats a huge difference.

10k is too high for a 95 AWD in my opinion, never mind wrong wheel drive. But you might get lucky.
