What trade-in value to expect?

I have a 2006 TSX 6 speed MT w/Navigation, Extended Warranty, Tinted windows, 3M protective clear bra. 25,500 miles. Very good to Excellent condition. What kind of trade-in value could I expect?

alot less than you would expect to get- go to a dealer and find out- the only way to get top dollar is to sell it privately.

I have the exact same car minus the tint. Please let us know what the dealers offer.

don't take anything less than KBB

don't let you tell them they don't do KBB trade in values either, because they do. Most dealers will show you retail price of the car you're going to purchase by KBB.

don't mention you have a trade until you negotiate a price on the car you're looking at buying, then mention a trade so they don't jack up the car you are looking at

If you really want to know, most dealers go by the Galves value. That's because it's what they can expect to get for the car if they auction/wholesale it. KBB means nothing to them.

Quoted for truth. Do yourself a favor and spend the 5 bucks to get a galves report on your car. It is an average price of the auction price that particular car got

I was fortunate enough to get a couple k over galves since I was buying from a family of dealerships that included where I had purchased/maintained my acura.

Definitely look at the galves report to get a realistic value.
