> [@nelstoys](#): > > Wow where did you go? If they offer you more then last time its worth me taking a look… Northtown? I’m not sure why people act shocked that it’s possible to get good money for your trade **and** a good price on the new car. Yes, dealers will try and use 4 square math to make you think you’re getting good money for your trade by inflating one of the other squares, but you don’t have to accept it. Go in knowing what your trade is worth, what the new car you want is worth, what kind of financing you can get and what kind of monthly payment you expect. That covers all 4 squares so when they start trying to increase the car cost to make up for increasing your trade in value you can call them on their BS. I got a great trade in value on my old Tracker when I got my Ranger. I knew what the Tracker was worth and what the Ranger was worth and kept walking away from the deal until they finally got the numbers where I wanted them. Buying a 2wd Ranger in February helped too because the dealer was desperate to move that vehicle. Right now their pretty desperate to move any vehicle and a buyer with A credit has all kinds of buying power. ---

4 year 50k mile warranty on the vw. Not too shabby for a $15-$17k car. If you care at all, VW’s always score at the top of their classes in safety/crash tests. ---

If I had your money, I’d still get a matrix/vibe… A black or white one loaded up… I’d get one with automatic and awd… My buddy has a new rabbit, it wouldn’t work for me as a DD but it did seem like a well put together car. ---

I’m confused, what are you disputing? there are two variables AWD and all season tires in your example. and I define failure in life as having to drive a vibe. so ugly. ---

> [@Locutus](#): > > why not awd? don’t you live in buffalo? You only need awd in buffalo like 4 days a year, its not like newman is a md and has to get places, fwd drive with snows is more than enough. I am trying to figure out why you want to get rid of the sti? You are going to save 6k in the short term, but if you keep the car for let’s say 2 years the sti will depriciate a lot less than a rabbit. That is also 2 years you don’t have to be seen driving a rabbit. Keep your sti you will lose more money buying a rabbit. ---

STi won’t accept my drum kit and gets only 16mpg. Not that fuel economy is a huge concern. Plus i feel like the rabbit has less chance of being broken in to in the city. Also the STi is a cop magnet.
