ummm you realize you may loose money right? If a dealership REALLY offered you $20000 trade-in (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) you would be getting $21,750 with the tax savings… And you are only asking $22,000 private party? Which means someone will offer you 21,000 maybe meet them in between? Just take the 21,750 from the dealer. I do LOVE these but mpgs do suck. ---

Yeah, thats why I started it at 22,700. I’m hoping that will keep the offers within 1k of the asking price, but probably not. Ill take the trade in if nothing comes about in the next week or so, but Id really like to sell outright and just pickup something cheap so I can shovel away some money. If I trade it in Ill end up in another 20k car and thus kind of defeats the purpose of me wanting to sell it. Doubt it will sell on here, but worth a shot I suppose. ---

Pretty sure you only get the tax credit if you trade it in on a new car, but don’t quote me on that. Either way, killer SUV and this one looks clean. GLWS! ---

GLWS! > [@tpgsr](#): > > nope I don’t think you understand. Let’s say you are buying a new car that cost say $30,000. If you trade in a car that the dealer is giving you $20,000 for, you only pay sales tax on the $10,000 difference. So when you are selling a vehicle that is worth a considerable amount of $, often times you are better off trading it in if you know you are buying something that is worth more. If a dealership offered me $20k for a trailblazer with that many miles on it, i’d likely take the $ and run. Especially if I was trading it in on something that holds its value better like a Honda or Toyota. ---

Yeah they all came with the white background on just the tach, no clue why though. Id gladly take the trade in if I didn’t plan to buy something in the under 10k range, but like I mentioned I want to step out of the payment realm for a little while so I can buy a house and pay off my student loans in the next couple months. If nothing turns up I can trade it in, I can’t imagine the value dropping too much in the next few months. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 ---

Especially if I was trading it in on something that holds its value better like a Honda or Toyota. I don’t think you understand. a) A trailblazer SS will always have better resale then ANY Honda or Toyota unless its something special like a NSX or Supra. b) You’re NOT always better off trading in an expensive vehicle just for a tax credit. Do you HONESTLY think the dealer is giving you full value on your trade in and the best discount on the new car? They’re not. Beautiful truck by the way, and I’d totally buy this if we didn’t have 5 cars already. Such nice trucks and this is a reasonable price. ---

Take the 20k, you’re going to miss out on 2700$, you’re going to save that money on gas driving something else in the first 5 minutes of owning it. ---

Take the trade and eliminate all the douche bags and idiotic questions you’ll get. Lol very true, but it at least gets the word out there if anyone was looking for something similar. Price drop to $21,500, but probably wont let the wheels/intake go with it for that price. I wont go any lower than that without trading it in though.
