best guess on trade-in value now that i've put the cart before the horse

I went ahead and ordered a new Pro at sticker without addressing my trade-in with the dealer. when i go to pickup the new Pro I know they are going to low-ball me on my trade. 2017 MG CM TRD Off Road 25k miles clean carfax, very good condition. What do you all think is a fair price?

I'm prepared to buy the Pro outright and sell mine on the resale market if they won't give me a fair price on the trade.

Thoughts? I'm thinking $35k.

 

I sold my 2013 4.6 SR5 Double Cab in October. Dealer offered $12K, Carvana offered $17,741.

 

Gene messer Toyota Dealer offered me 17k. I went online to kbb and they offered me 22.8k and gene messer Ford called me in 5 minutes to buy it haha.

Your pretty close at 35k

 

Meh, depends on trim maybe...I was offered 35k for my 2020 SR5 TSS CM with 16k miles from dealer and 40k from Carvana with the suspension modification.

 

Go to Carmax you’ll have an offer in 5 minutes by putting your VIN in. Print out the trade in offer and use it to negotiate with the dealer. I just did this to buy my wife a new Jeep and it worked perfectly.

 

check both caravana and carmax I sold my Tacoma 2017 TRD Sport 4x4 to Carvanv for 33k

 

When selling outside the dealer, you will have to calculate what tax benefits may arise from trading in where you are buying. In my state, if I trade in to the dealer, that offsets the purchase price and I don't get boned as hard on taxes. Would be good to have the Carvana, Vroom and Carmax offers in hand before going to the dealer. That way if they are way off base you can throw down the papers to show other offers on trade in.

 

Goos advice about the sales tax....this is true in New York as well.

SPP

 

great advice guys, thank you. carvana offer was 35.9k. carmax was 36k. i'll save about 2k in NYS taxes on the trade so i'll be OK with 34k trade-in credit.

 

why not list yourself for $39900 and see if it sales before your new one arrives? If not trade in.
