Default Questions about trading in a car.

Has anyone here traded in a car worth more than the one they want? Im thinking about trading in my camaro for a lt1 corvette.

do stealerships like these kinds of deals?

i won't be getting any cash back, but i'd except to only have a couple grand left to pay off rather than about 12.5 cause i'll be throwing down a bunch of cash too.

if you get 12k for your trade-in, and youre buying a car for 10k, youll eat it to about 11k after taxes/fees/notary/state bs, youll get a check for the remaining amount

they will pay you the diff. IF they accept the trade. theres no guarantee they will.

why would you trade down to a POS lt1 vette. you might as well just trade it in on a civic.

I dont think they would do it. I bet the most they give you for your car is 10k

lt1 sucks. And have fun working on that bitch. If you thought the camaro was difficult youre in for a nightmare with a corvette. I would sell my camaro and buy a 99 FRC vette if it wasnt such a pain in the *** to work on.

dealer kbb is 17k aka what you would expect to pay for it at the dealer
private kbb is 13k aka what you would expect to pay for it from a private seller
now go and look up the trade in kbb value aka what its worth to a dealer
