Anyone done this? I am looking to offload my 135 before the winter and curious if anyone has done this and how simple it was. UPDATE: Well it looks like it made it possible to run through without anything crazy and you actually get the offer right there. Significantly lower than appraised and dealer price but I guess a quick way to unload. ---

Don’t forget if you sell it and then buy something new you’ll lose all the sales tax savings, which I’m guessing will be pretty significant since a 135 is worth some decent money in trade, I’m guessing around 20k. That’s $1750 in tax savings, and it doesn’t matter how much you owe since the tax calculation when trading goes like this: New car value - trade in value \* sales tax rate. So if you buy a 30k car, and get 20k in trade for your car even if you owe 15k you’re getting the full $1750 in tax savings. If you trade: You’d walk out the door paying $25875 for your new car after rolling the 15k you owe in and paying tax on the 10k. If you sell for the same 20k then buy (30000 + 8.75%) - 5k: You’d walk out the door paying $27625. Any dealership can handle rolling one loan into another. They just call the finance company and get a payoff quote. Your savings will like be even more doing the trade because you have far better negotiating leverage on the value of your trade when you’re buying a car than when you’re just trying to sell a car to a dealer without buying something at the same time. If you’re planning on buying out of state you might have to lie though. When I got my VW I didn’t want the dealer in OH to think they had me just because I had driven 3.5 hours. I told them I was there for work anyway, even brought a little travel suitcase to sell the lie and when they tried the “well this is the best we can do” lowball on my trade I said, “yeah, sorry, I’ve got a couple other cars to check out in the area, thanks for your time”. They ended up giving me what I wanted. ---

They ended up giving me what I wanted. Ah this is good to know. Forgot about this since my last two cars were leases and haven’t sold a car in a while. That price is pretty close so that is significant savings. I did random offer on KBB and holy hell its like Craigslist lowball about 70% of what I was looking for. Make take this advice and try to do it in one transaction and not two. I like the suitcase commitment. Haha. Only option to sell it came up as a friend moved on short notice and has a lease with almost 0 miles so the option to transfer it over and have a very short lease while I figure my next move was appealing to dump the car but this seems like quite the savings to rethink. I have been looking at the TSX AWD so may stop in and have them appraise it.
