I got into some trouble last weekend. To pay for the lawyer i need to get, i have to sell my car which i REALLY don't want to do, but i fucked up so now i have to pay for it. I know selling it privately will probably take forever so i'm going to look into trading it in because i need the money fast. My question is, can i pretty much go to any kind of dealership to see what i can get for it and what should i lookout for when dealing with the dealership sales people?
Try craigslist first. It's free and there are tons of Saabs in the Boston CL. Give it a shot, you will always get more selling yourself than trading in. Are you looking to trade it in toward another car, or just see what a dealer will give you for it? They probably can't be bothered if you don't want to buy something else. Good luck. At least there is a strong market for Saabs around here.
I just wanted to go to a dealership and see if i could get the trade in value and not buy a car. I'm not sure if you can do that though. I'll try craigslist though.
I saw a '98 Saab 9000 CSE for sale for $3000 i was thinking of picking up. It's from a used car lot. I doubt they would give me a good trade in for my 9-5 aero. I don't know, we'll see what happens.
If you really need to sell a car fast, Carmax will buy any car. You might not like the price, though. They usually offer about what the car will bring at auction.
Trade-in value on my car is $9700. Private party is $11,800. Lawyer fee is $7500. I'll have money left over to get another car. So that's where the Saab 9000 comes into the picture. I need something to get around in.
FUCK IT! I decided not to sell my car. I love it too much and i'd be sad knowing that somebody else has it. I'd rather be in debt $7 - 10,000 than to sell my car.
Arrested, possesion of a firearm. It was my friends gun who i was with at the time this happened who did have a license. Long story! I'm also on probation for a DUI i got back in Aug. too which doesn't look good. I'm having a bad year!
