So I am looking to trade in my 06 6i(atx) with 78k miles on it for an 07' mazdaspeed 6 with 75k on it. Here is a link to the dealer's page for the car: Used 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed6 For Sale | MI .
I am wondering 2 things:
The condition of my 06 6i is pretty much phenomenal, a few scratches here or there(very minor). The front tie rod has already been replaced under factory warranty. The interior looks like new, the wheels need to probably be cleaned or painted, they might put 2 new tires on the back. I hit a deer 2 years ago it ruined the front bumper/grill/radiator and it was paid out fully repaired. I have a CAI on it and am posting this thread to see if before I OEM it out with the old intake upon trade in appraisal, that I would be willing to get what I kinda want/need for price. I am hoping for a trade in value on my car of between 7-8k (it's velocity red mica which I am sure to them will be a quick seller cause kids love red cars). It also is the hatchback style 6 so the spoiler/trunk may appeal to someone younger.
The second question would be as to what is fair to in a sense try and haggle them down to. If they meet my 8k request on trade in or 7k I really want to get them down near 12-13k for the speed6. Is that a fair rate for that car? I am going to make sure I do this whole process in the ending week of the month so that they're willing to wiggle more. My credit is baller so I know they won't need to worry about financing and additionally my girlfriend's mom has been working there 2 years and I get all my work done at this dealership so the mechanics know me well and will vouch for my car's condition if asked to inspect.
So, every one's .02?
