Thinking about upgrading :)

I have an '07 premium vista blue v6 BUT, i want to get the v8 ! i saw an '05 white gt at the dealer near my house for $20,995 with 27,000 miles. My trade in would be around 16,000. My car is paid off so what do u guys think? i could take him down a little??

You're going to be trading a new car for a car that will be 3 years old in Oct, why not take advantage of the 0% financing and buy a new one?

With 27K on the '05, I'd offer $18.5K and demand at least $18K for the 6er, you shouldn't pay more than $2-3K after all is said and done(taxes/lic./misc costs) IMO. Good luck on your decision

Check www.kbb.com and see what the Blue Book value is on your car as well as the '05. You will get less in a trade.....better off selling it yourself. Dealers aren't going to give you what it's worth 'cause they have to make some $$ too.

RE: Thinking about upgrading :)

if college is your priority, then why are you considering a GT? wait till you get your career going and buy a new GT down the road on your own. they should be redesigned by then. i'll be getting a GT in another 5 or so years if my plans agree with me.
