Looking at 04 SSL Silver With 25k
What should I be paying the dealer has it at 26k. I think its too much. Considering when I bought my 04 new it was 30k with ssl. Only 3 grand in depresiation.? When I sold my 04 the dealer only wanted to give me 19K. That was last year and car only had 16,000 miles. What should I offer. Car is real clean one owner older guy always garage it traded cause he was having another baby..
Thank you Mike

ok cool I was thinking try to low ball at 23k and shoot for under 25K but you are right for that I could find a 05 for 25K so I will shoot for 24K. I'm not in dier need either I'm driving a 07 VW GTI I would be trading so If they say no I can just walk away and wait for a better deal.

Your probally right but I did not trade it for 19k. I sold it for 22K a freind of mine he had a small used car dealer and had a kid in Florida that wanted to buy it so I sold it to him and he sold it for 24.5K to the kid in Florida.

I know I just saw some 05 MR's for under 25k with same mileage or a little more 33k or so. So I'm thinking more towards 20k-21k. I have seen numorus 03's with 30k of on them for 21K an 04 wiht the same mileage should be about the same.. I will go to the dealer tommorrow after work. Maybe a can squezze some more out of my trade and have them come down on the price ALOT.. I only looking to spend 22K at the most with my trade. 27K is nuts..

Heck, I only paid $28,000 for my VIII NEW!
You should be shooting for $22k at the most...plus the story about the older guy having a kid and selling the car after he never took it over 5000 rpm blah blah blah seems contrived.
I know you've worked at a dealership and know what they're capable of...start checking for signs of modding and bust them down. I'd start by offering $21k.

I definitly will be looking hard for any mods and the story of the car never been driving is BS they were driving.. Thats what they were made for. Him selling cause of family makes sense I sold mine to save to get married. The most I'm going is
22K and no more, Like I said if not I can walk I'm in no hurry to get one, plus driving the GTI is nice Just not an EVO nice.. LOL
