I don't really want to talk about this. It's been a nagging feeling that has been welling up inside me for months now.
I am starting to dread the day the 05 is available for sale.
I am seriously thinking about trading my car in for a new 05. I currently have a 2002 GT (which was purchased in early 2003 as a leftover). In October, I will have roughly 3 1/2 years left of financing on this car. In September, a dealership was willing to give me 17K for my trade-in (this is in Canadian dollars). I would've owed 6K. I'm hoping that I could've done much better than this in a private sale, but I am not positive.
As far as the 2005 GT, I am willing to be a little upsidedown. But getting completely undercut is out of the question. Is the crap-ass resale of our current cars going to keep us out of buying the new car? How bad are we going to do at dealerships? Have any of you tested the waters and see what your car is worth? Any speculations?
