Question Question on selling a balt

So im getting a great deal on another car and im trying to find the best and fastest way to get rid of my balt. I know they don't hold thier value but mine is in perfect condition and I would like to at least get the payoff value for it.

If anyone could help me out or give me some advice I would appreciate it. thanks.

Well best thing to do is keep it for at least 3 years to equal out value and pay off amount. And also go to a bigger Chevy dealer, they usualy give you better deals hands down. And since your in Florida try to call Bill Heard or Michael Holley Chevy.

well, basically, regardless of condition, mileage, etc, if you get an offer for 15k take it without looking back. but i doubt you'll even get that, being realistic about it. you're almost better off just keeping it untill it's more paid off.

how much do you owe on it?

I've had it for 3yrs and I still owe likt $9-$10K. Will the dealership take it as is, because I don't want to trade it in for something at a dealership I just want to sell it

Yeah I have a lot of highway miles for school. If I could get $15K for my car I would be so happy! Lol.Every dealership, including carmax only want to give me like $7-$8K and carmax said $6.5K. I Laughed at the lady at carmax and walked away. Its an 05 4dr auto with fully loaded features except for fogs and radio control on steering wheel. KBB says its worth about $7$8K now which is decent, but thats what everyone wanted to give me last year so im geussing thier little blackbook updated and took the price even lower. I wish i could sell privately but it wouldn't sell for a while.

Well the $8K was an offer at a dealership about a year ago. I couldn't take that because I would have been left with serious negative equity.
