Ran KBB on my car, private sale 22,000 to 24,000 at 18,300 on odo. I owe 12,600 on loan so that's 9500.00 min to put towards new car. VW has 6000.00 off V6 Passats. So looks like my plan for a July sale is on track.

Then I should have 21,500 on odo.

Recent adds, new wipers and new steering wheel, top adjusted & lubed.

20 months left on Bumper to Bumper extended warranty.

Leather just conditioned

Top getting UV waterproof before my road trip & oil change.

Honorable mention: Window sticker (laminated) Car cover, sequential tail lit kit, perfect front bumper, no chips and custom leather interior, cream.

Probably the best 5 yr old convertible, lovingly cared for.

We'll see.

Well, I just did the KBB on my car.. I've owned it for 2+ years (4k miles) and dealer trade-in is now $5k less then from what I purchased it. I owe much less... but I feel good that I it only cost me $5k to drive this beauty for the last 2 years. I would never sell anyway but it's nice to know that the car has held it's value.

i feel like I'm doing even better, picked up my 2012 RS V6 last June for 17,000. KBB lists my cars private party value at 17,300 to 20,100. So on paper I've driven for free and actually made money to own it.

Trade in goes from 15,500 to almost 18,000 so I'm happy with my purchase.

Probably be a leftover 2018. Don't like the 14 or 15's. Can't see trading my 13 in for another 13.

I can understand that. I should have gotten the 2013 ZL-1 I found, unfortunately 2 weeks after I bought my SS.
