Members who traded - how was it financially?
Hello ft86,
From occasionally browsing the FB group and seeing the threads here of people trading from some cars to FRS/BRZs, and switching from the twins to WRX/STis - as someone in the car business I tend to wonder what people are doing to justify their trades.
I can't imagine trading this car in anytime soon considering the depreciation (though I don't plan to) but let's hear it, how long did you own a certain car, how much money did you put into it, and how's the switch feel?
I had a great deal on a new 2014 Accord Sport and put $2k down (bought from my prev dealership) and 12 months later, Carmax appraised my car with $2,500 positive equity and since negative equity would've been the only reason I wouldn't buy the BRZ I went through with it. Unfortunately my family asked kindly to take over the Accord so there goes some of my initial equity for modding :3
Although, I can imagine that anyone who bought a twin with minimal down rolled negative equity or broke even after 1-2 years of payments, I'd like to hear ppl's experience.
