tradeing in my car

boostinss · Post by **boostinss** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 12:25 pm

well from the answers i got from the atx > mtx i am better off trading in my neon. So i was wondering what the trade in value my car would have to buying one with a mtx. i have a 05 sxt with 16,XXX miles on it... brand new condition.

There is a neon for sale from the dealership that is a 2003 neon sxt, 46,XXX miles on it that has a mtx, for around $11,900. Do u think i could trade for that?

or how much would you guess i would have to add??

That price is very very high. I got my 03 over a year ago for less then 9,000 and it should be even less now. I also have an auto, which increases the value so an mtx should be a little less.

IF you're honestly going to trade in your new car for a mtx, you might as well try looking for a SRT while you're at it. There are plenty around for pretty cheap.

do u think i would have to give more money to trade for that or the dealership would give me money on it?

Whats your kbb value. Compare costs. When I was looking to trade my neon in for a srt, they asked me how much I wanted to trade it in for, and we worked from there.

11k for 03 SXT? Is it me or is that extremely high? I've seen some SRTs for 13k.

Our resale value is not good. Whatever you get for your car, you're still going to have to throw in significant dough.

Dealership is going to give you money?

Try finding an r/t, it will be worth it

http://www.autotrader.com is a usefull source, where I happend to find my R/T. Use the "power search" function and select manual under the tranny selection thing.

Use http://www.kbb.com as a good guid for pricing your car.

sell your 05 sxt to a "private party" and buy an srt from another "private party"

in that case youd be getting a little over $10k for your sxt

03 srt for $13k... http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=290310

04 srt for $13.9k

www.nada.com is what most banks go by now for values of cars

An SRT for a 16 year old?

Good god I hope you have a great job, because I know my parents would have laughed at me if I asked them to pay insurance.

i paid 8800 for my 04 with 50k. 11k is rediculous for an 03

i paid 6500 for my 2001 r/t with 41k miles back in nov '04.... it was mint then, its still mint condition but with 54k miles now and KBB says its only worth $4500

well just for comparisons . . . .

I got my BRAND new SXT (03- MTX - with the sport apperance package) for 11,200 (brand new)

I just sold my 2k2 White R/T for 6500.00 (only had 40k on it)

And I just got my (almost new) SRT-4 with 7000 miles on it for 15,100

All of those prices are pretty fair prices i think . . .

Dang man, u can wheel and deal.

Too bad i didn't see your R/T, i woulda picked it up.

i got my 03 sxt mtx w/ 47k miles for $7350 TT&L walk out price

Post by **jonnymopar** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 7:14 pm

My 2003 SXT cost me $9300 in July 2005 with only 27k miles on it... from a Dodge dealership.

An 03 with 46k on it for $11.9k? Ok, gas prices are high and Neons are a pretty sweet way around that, but come on!
