Well the time has come....

[Nevermind]

After buying my BA XR8 Ute about 2 or 3 years ago, it looks like its time to move on. I love the car but its costing me over $700 a month in repayments alone to sit in my garage with some sheets over it 99% of the time.

My question is, What am I going to get for a trade in on it? I'm looking at getting a new small cheap car like a Kia or something so there's not going to be much incentive for the dealer to give me a great price? Redbook says 16 - $18,000 which is a joke as they are selling in dealers and privately for 25 - $30,000.

Im going to get some trade in prices tomorrow but after just looking at redbook, im wondering whether to bother.

Can someone give my some suggestions what to do? I've been down the path of trying to sell privately before and it was a pain, but if its going to save me 5 - 8 thousand theres no choice. Anyone wanna talk me outta it? The main reason im selling is for money reasons. With interest rates going up and up and other financial commitments, it's hard to justify 200 a week on a car hardly used. I already own a new Mazda 3 and a Suzuki GS500 motocycle which I ride to work and everywhere else.

I'm going to put an ad in the for sale section of these forums and see if anyone is interested.

Cheers . . .
