1 dealer down, offered me $26k minus $1k because my tires are terrible (just got it inspected at a different chevrolet dealer last Thursday) so they're a no go. Off to another tomorrow.

Yeah, the dealers are only going to offer you wholesale value or below. You can probably get closer to $30k with the right buyer with a private sale. Gotta love how fast cars depreciate.

Does anyone know the part number for the replacement solenoid by itself? I don't want to buy the whole Canister assembly again. This is the second time I get the P0449 code

Wollmank · 07-02-2015, 06:17 PM

You'll get 24k good luck

You need to take it

Mmar88 · 07-04-2015, 06:57 AM

My number is $30k, if they want to put me in a $55,000 truck they'll do it. If not, I'm not desperate to sell my car by any means. I love my 1LE .

So mail them a check or pay each month online? Many banks will give you a discount on the interest if you set up auto withdraw payment.

Your trade in value will likely match what NADA dictates.

z3R0fo01 · 07-04-2015, 09:08 AM

Just get a marginally nicer beater. You are going to regret selling the 1le and then want another car. Then it will just cost even more. Then again, by that time the new 1le may be out and you will have made more money...

If I were in your shoes I would probably lease or finance a civic.

Or you could get that clear coat fixed and then when you get home from the bank you can feel that smooth paint. Maybe have a beer and just bask in the beauty that is the 1le.

But I don't think you actually asked for that kind of input.

You could take it to carmax if you have the time. Then look at craigslist to see what they are selling to determine if it is worth your time to sell it privately.

Oh yeah another tip, never tell the dealer you want to trade in until you have gotten the price as low as possible first.

Mmar88 · 07-04-2015, 10:27 AM

I haven't had time to go to another dealership yet but I think you might be right Z3R0fo01. Maybe I'm just setting the price to high because deep down I know I won't get the money I'm asking for it so I can use that as my excuse to keep it haha

toehead93 · 07-04-2015, 10:29 AM

Just make sure you negotiate the best price on the new vehicle first. Don't tell them your trading so they just have one number to work with. Once you get the price you want on the new vehicle about the trade in. It's always better to sell on your own. You usually losing $2-3k on average by trading in. The either get you on the trade, the new car, or financing. This is why I sell my owner cars, finance through Pen Fed the lowest rates I've found over the last 8 years, and dont settle for the new car price until its under invoice.

t&t moyer · 07-05-2015, 08:34 AM

$26,500...........

Accurate stuff here. I'm in that process right now. Mine is a loaded 2014 with really low mileage and I'm not getting any offers above $28K. The 1LE package gets you nothing on trade. Selling privately is better $$$-wise, but folks get in a hurry to "off-load" their ride for another and don't want the hassle of a private sale. Everyone wants more for theirs and pay less for the new one. Think wholesale (yours) and retail (theirs) at a dealership. And we know dealers make more money off used vehicles than new ones in today's market. Probably won't sell mine as I don't want to take the hit right now. Like towhead93 said, if you can keep the new ride separate from the trade and get your own financing, you'll do better.

1BadAssSS · 07-10-2015, 12:19 PM

You also have to balance out the tax money you will have to pay. Here in Alabama you only pay tax on the difference between the two vehicles. So if the new vehicle is $35,000 and you get $28,000 for your trade, you only have to pay taxes on $7,000 vs the whole $35,000.
