What do you guys think about this Trade???
Hey guys, Im thinkin about trading in my car for one that I found here local. I was just wondering what you guys think. My car is 98 Z28 red/leather/T-tops with right at 81K, It has the below mods and is in perfect shape. The car Im looking at is a 2001 Monterey Maroon Metallic z28 with 18,000K on it. They want 14900 for it before the whole write down and pass numbers deal. Im really thinking about doing this, the car is all stock and is perfect. The seats are still stiff becuase they havent even been broke in yet!! I dont really want to got more in debt again but I dont know if want to pass this up. Let me know your thoughts and opinions
Thanks,
Jake
Here are a couple pics of the car

X2 if your upside down your SOL. You will be paying way to much if thats the case wich you should have yours paid off buy now if not close to it on a 98 depending on when you bought it. Good luck man!

I really dig this color and Would love to throw some stripes on it!! I didnt get my 98 very long ago so I dont know if they will give me what its worth or not. I would like to see my payoff but its doubtful. basically my debt would increas but my payment would go down ..wierd huh?? lol

I would only accept within a few hundred dollars of my payoff, if they dont deal then O-well I still have the Dang nice 98. However I am willing to pay more for the car its self since it is newer

i know you would be willing to pay more, but i would never buy a car for more than the dealer is asking. and that is what you essentially would be doing if you were upside down. i know a newer car is exciting, but you gotta be smart with your money.

Ya im definantly not going to rush anything, I know there will always be another deal. Besides I really like my which feels new to me. So if it works out and they give me a heck of a deal then Im on it...if they dont want to deal O-well. I have 2 cars now so Its not like a I need somting to drive right Now ...LOL

If you make a jack off offer you deserve to get called everyday. Expect to get lowballed on your trade if you lowball their price, if you pay their price make them pay yours on your vehicle. It's all a numbers game. Check KBB and NADA and also other dealers in the area with similar cars.
Also since your car is a 98 it's going to be a harder car for them to sell as banks won't be as willing to finance a customer on a 10 year old car with higher mileage. I found a 98 Formula for a good price and my Credit Union gave me a hard time and it was under 20k miles.
I would put your car up for sale on the forums and locally you'll probably get about $1,000-$2,000 more for it but deal with all the stuff that goes with selling a vehicle. Sometimes it better to let the dealer deal with it and take a little hit. Weigh your options and good luck.
