My car got assessed at 14000. No dents no scratches nothing, had it for 4 months. 4500 miles. OUCH.

 

my dealer offered me 32k for my car
i told them to rot in hell

 

??????????? they offered to sell it to you for that much or wanted to give you that much??????????????? O.o

 

that wat it is valued at if i trade it in

 

meaning i would have about a million dollars in negative equity.

 

KBB trade in on mine with 18,500 miles is $19,225

are you sure you clicked on SS Supercharged coupe and not SS coupe?

 

Heh you meant 3200 not 32000 didn't you.

 

not a cobalt. 32k owed on the car, maybe. But not 32k trade in value.

 

That's ok at least your not getting shafted like I am. Since my car has a 12 page service history tied to the VIN number they count that against the car because it's a problematic car.. *G* no one wants that...so why am I stuck with it? They want to give me 13k for it. I still owe $15k

Eventually I can't wait to trade it in next year if that is what the outcome is when I have a vendor meet with GM and my dealership soon about this car.

 

well sence my pictures in my profile i have lambo doors air ride system and a complete system

 

trade privately mite save you some money

 

put some pics up of the air ride system...i've been lookin at that....how much was it? and the install also..how much/how hard?

 

I think KBB is quite off their assessment because they count many things as options on the '05 SS that is standard ( 4-wheel ABS, single CD MP3, premium sound). I think that inflates the value. If you look at TMV website, they valued my car at like $15k trade-in, whereas KBB said it was worth $18k. I think TMV is more accurate.

 

how do you like the lambo doors, i am kinda interested in those. Please post pics!!

 

www.nolimitskustoms.com we will have the how to this weeked on how to do it pictures and all

 

That usually depreciates the value even quicker since it wasn't factory equipment.

 

why do you want to get rid of your car already,.

 

sorry dude... lambo doors and airride do not equal 32,000.... haha... you're dealer must have been high... or you're full of it...

 

or he is high. real high.

 

I think he IS high.

 

well, the ABSOLUTE SECOND you take these cars off the lot, they go down in value... a 21,000 car that you drive home now has a resale value of 14,000... it's rediculous... he's probably doing the good ole ricer math... well, i paid 23,000 for the car, 4,000 for the lambo doors, 5,000 for the air ride, so that's 32,000...

 

Per KBB my car is worth:

Condition Value

Excellent $19,200
(Selected)

Good $18,040

Fair $15,975

Surprisingly it doesnt list the option for the Leather recaro's and LSD which was worth 1500bucks when I bought my car.

Also if you take into acc my mods I would have to sell it on the street or I would lose mad money on the extra parts I put into the car.

I took out a loan for 16,500 when I bought the car October of 2005 so even if I sold it now I would make money Hopefully....

 

I don't think KBB is accurate on the value of our cars. It's too high. Check out TMV. That site says my car is worth $15k vs. $18k through KBB. IF you read my last post I explained why I think it's too high.

 

dealers use nada (national automotive dealer association) for the most part.

 

The dealer always low ***** trade in's.

Why are you trying to trade you car in, this is like your 2nd cobalt ?
