You'd be better off selling it outright or find someone who wants to trade their 60's Chevy.

I looked VERY briefly at this. My trade was only worth $7,000.00. It's sad cause I feel my car is worth more than that.

Don't trade it in. Sell it outright. Speaking of that my part-timer is looking for an f-body, so what's the details on your car?

yea, id like to sell it outright, but it seems there are alot better ones out there than mine, which drives my price down. i owe 9k on it.(new tires and a little engine work got added into the loan) i put a loudmouth exhaust on it, sounds great! just hit 100k miles. 6 speed, every gear shifts nice. i wont be too sad if it doesnt sell, but im going back to school and really could use the money for tuition/books. i just figured with insurance being cheaper on an older car, i could trade it up for something nice and not take such a huge loss on it.

thanks for your input

Insurance isn't really much cheaper for an older car -- if anything its probably more expensive. There is a lot more safety equiment on your car than a 60's car, assuming you've just got liability then it should be cheaper.

When I switched from my '92 RS to my '94 Z28 my insurance dropped a couple hundred a year without anything else really changing.

I work at a dealership and I can tell you that I almost pissed myself when I saw what our cars pull on trade in. You don't get to see the black book that dealers have.

Your car wouldn't get more than $7000 on trade in if it's still in good exterior/interior/mechanical shape.

Sell it outright...period.
