Tradin in a 2001 CLS
If I trade in a 2001 CLS for a 2002 CLS 6-speed stick, would I need to go through the inspection process?
I plan on trading in my 2001 to the same dealer I once bought it from, and plan on purchasing a 2002 from them also. If I brought in my 2001 to them would they just look at it and simply give me a price and be on my way to a new 2002, or would I have to wait for them to inspect my car (putting it on the lift, etc.)
I'd figure that since I bought it from them and that I'm only 10 months into my 3 year warranty that they would look past a through vehicle inspection. I believe that they would come outside look at the car all done up washed and waxed and give me full blue book value. I mean its not a clunker, its brand new and under warranty, and I trading it into the same place I bought it from, Acura for Acura.
So to anyone who has had an Acura that traded it in for the same senario please let me know.

Why would you worry about this now? Plus, this is the second topic you started on this....I'll close the other one.
The 6-speed isn't due out until sometime next year. Some are saying spring as a 2002.5, some are saying fall as a 2003. Who knows, but either way, you have some time.....

Just plannin Ahead
I would like to know how they would go in giving mt Blue book value. Would I have to make time in the day for them to inspect my car. To have them come back and tell me that there is a scratch on the car or that there is a stain in the interior, just crap that I don't want them to come up with just to save a few bucks off me.
When I purchased the car all I did was call, make reservations to purchase the car, brought the check, filled out 5 min. paper work, and I was in a new CLS. Will the same thing happen here?
What I want to know is, will it be a too the point sale or will I have to haggle with the dealer just to get the full Blue Book value?
So tell me are they gonna put my car on the lift and give me the run around?

when I traded in my CL-S for the TL-S a couple of weeks ago, they never even looked at the car, not at all...

It's yellow/gold colored - the same size as Kelly's Blue Book.
YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE A MAJOR LOSS unless you sell it "Private Party" !!!

Also, no you don't have to get it inspected to trade it in. In most states at least =)
