2002 CL-S non-navi. 48k Miles. Black w/ black leather. Minor scrathes and rock chips from everyday driving. In the MD/DC market. Thinking about grabbing one of the few remaining 6 speeds.

 

Edmunds says 17k trade-in, 18k private party, your 48k miles dropped you almost 2k.

You're likely to get a good deal on a discontinued CLS, so that might make up for it somewhat.

 

17K trade in after only 2 years?

JEEZ!!! that's horrid... I don't think I coujld ever afford to sell my car then... I drive as much as mrsteve.

 

I bought it with 32k in May. I've put 16k on it in less than 6 months

What's even worse is I paid close to $22k 6 months ago. $4-5k in 6 months

 

Yeah look at the numbers for my 2001 with 57k miles. Ouch.

$15,193 $16,718 $18,162

 

Try $17,500 for a 2003 CLS 6speed with 33,000 miles. I had two dealers, Nissan and Infiniti, offer me that this weekend. Needless to say, I walked. Instead, I'm most likely trading it in to Acura this week on a 2004 TL w/navi. Their first offer was 20k for the trade. I'm sure I can get them up a quite bit as a friend traded his 2003 TLS with the same milage to the same dealer this weekend for 22k.

 

So lets say I dealed with them a little and got them to $17,500 on my trade. Then I could cash in my 100,000 mile warranty for another $1k? I don't remember how much it cost. I'm looking at roughly $18,000 for my trade. Think I could get a 6 speed for around $28k?? I acutually found a used one with like 13k miles on it. I could prolly get that for close to $25-6k right?

 

I'd say around 18k or so.

 

Okay I need somebody good with numbers!!!

I owe approx $20k on my CL-S. So I'm a little upsidedown on my loan.

If I get $17k on a trade in.

Buy an '03 6 speed for around $28k

Can I keep my payments roughly close to what they are now?

I have a 60 month loan, paying $432/mo 6.39% interest.

On a new car I should be able to get closer to 4-5% right?

I want to keep my payments below $450. Thanks!

 

I just found a used '03 6spd for $22,900 with 22k miles. Might have to call him!!
