I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place but I am considering trading in my 2011 SS2 and have done the kbb and Black Book estimates and since the estimate vary by at least a few thousand, I am coming to the experts, what do you think would be a fair amount to expect as a trade in?

2011 IBM SS2 RS w/15300 miles
Moon roof
Upgraded BA audio
Automatic

This stuff may just be standard on an SS2 but just in case:

Leather heated seats
Heated exterior mirrors
Ambient lighting
Convenience package
HUD

Depends on the dealer and your situation. KBB should be closer to what you will get.

I just checked the average sales prices at the auction. Figure wholesale is around $26k which is close to what a dealer would pay.

Well, I guess i'll have to wait to see what the new incentives are as of tomorrow.

I had contacted two local dealerships this week with what I was looking for and I guess they just were not interested in selling or leasing a new car since they never replied back...

Many are slow to respond or respond at all to internet requests.

For a trade-in value, you need to visit a dealer. Many will be reluctant to quote you number over the phone or email without seeing the vehicle, and if they do it will be low or a range. There is only so much you can do without actually going in.

Well, they actually followed up to my initial inquiry asking what I was looking for, I never even really talked about the trade in, only about the details of the car I was looking for, it must have scared them away that I was looking to not pay more than the advertised lease price on Chevy's site.
