I know exactly what you mean...I’ve been in that position before.
Whenever I’ve traded in my car, I’ve felt like I got ripped off and shoulda sold it...and when I’ve sold my car I’ve felt like I shoulda asked for more!!
But that kelly blue book is what most folks go by and if you’re asking a fair price, they shouldn’t dicker too much. Just stick with your guns, say “It’s a fair price according to the blue book.” and let them decide.
And make sure they understand the car comes with “No warranties, expressed or implied.” Make sure that’s on everything.
It’ll go fast...remember how fast my van sold? Seemed like forever then boom. It was gone.
I saw it the other day on the highway. Guy musta worked on it because I NEVER drove it on the highway! Heh heh!
Just would be nice if after three days, I’d at least gotten a nibble - even just folks asking questions. I haven’t had a single response.
On the bright side, the bank *finally* finished my pre-approval stuff for a loan, so I know exactly how much they’re willing to give me. It’s more than I want to spend, so I should be all set, whatever I choose.
My sister’s pushing for a Toyota of some sort. We all loved my old car...
But then, she also was going on and on about how much she loves their Ford Focus coupe/hatchback/thing, which has been in the shop three times in the last week and a half for undetermined issues that keep making it die a sudden death in midstream, upon which dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree. The dealership can’t seem to figure it out. And yet she still loves the car. So maybe I shouldn’t altogether trust her judgment. ;-) Or at least not think of it as logical.
