I just traded in my 2008 GT in June, with around 20,000 miles. Got 21k for it.

So you're probably looking at around 18k for an '06.

I would go to KBB.com and Edmunds.com and do a used car appraisal on both. Be honest about the condition. Then take those two numbers, add them, and divide by 2. Finally take that average value you just calculated and multiply it by .85

I've found this works most of the time to land at about what the dealer will give you. They are going to use black book or auction pricing, hence the extra 15% reduction...

19-22k, depending on the dealer. Don't take anything less than 17 with those miles.

I got 14k for mine. It was an 06 with 56k miles. Black book is right. I used to sale cars and thats what they go by

I had to get up and walk out of a dealer before he would give me mid range kbb for my accord last year when I traded for this mustang but carmax offered me solid kbb for my 07 vert and it was the only way I could get the dealer to offer me kbb for it was by showing them what carmax would offer. Those guys were trying to steal my cars. If they won't give you at least $500 over mid range kbb if your car is immaculate then just get up and walk out. I've been trying to gauge how much I could get for my car now to trade it for an '11 v6 vert but kbb is coming in wayyy low. Nada on the other hand looks real nice but dealers always go with kbb.
