That seems low for a fully loaded coupe in excellent condition. Kelly Blue book listed it for trade in at a dealership of 62,263 in very good condition. I realize nothing is in excellent condition but that just seems too low. Any thoughts
Trade in is the worst you're going to do. Any time a dealer is involved, they need to make money. If you bought your car smart, you probably paid near or under invoice, so even loaded you didn't pay much more than the KBB trade value. KBB is very inaccurate, every trade offer I ever got was near or under the KBB trade value for the worst condition. When buying of course, it's the other way around, KBB is low. You really need auction pricing to know where the market is.
