What did you trade in for your FRS???? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

2003 Civic Si. Almost had 100k miles on it.

Trojan_SC · 07-26-2012, 05:55 PM

A nice pile of cash. Asked if I wanted to trade in my heavily modded FJ Cruiser for it...I said hell no.

ST185RC · 07-26-2012, 05:56 PM

Limited Edition 1992 GT-Four RC, which had an engine fire on the highway. Was never interested in giving her up for anything, not even the FR-S.

Loved the tundra though... In terms of what you were getting (381hp, 400tq) the fuel use was actually quite good (but that's relative). if one day I decide to get a truck again, I wouldn't consider anything else. Just an amazing vehicle (and I've owned Ford, Dodge, Chev trucks in the past - never again).

The tundra remains the fastest vehicle in the current Toyota line up.. (and will be until the new supra comes out). Loved it when any ford/chev/dodge would show up at a stop light and I'd show them tailgate until the next light... always surprised them!

Everyone -

I'm curious to know how much you guys actually got from the dealer for your trade-in compared to the value KBB reports for trade-in.

This would be extremely valuable information for me, thanks!!

I believe blue book on my Tundra was $17k.. i negotiated to 18 based on extras (air bags, new tires, bed liner, trailer brake controller, etc). the real kicker was low miles.. I only had 76k kms on it..

Didn't trade in anything. I have trouble separating from my cars so as a 22 year old I currently own all 3 vehicles I have ever owned.
BRZ was by far the most expensive of the three though, in fact it costs about three times the other two combined.

2004 Audi S4 <- Biggest mistake ever! I thought owning a turbo Z32 was a pain to keep up...Audi's are built like crap. I was waiting for the next thing to break on the audi. First it was an oil leak that the dealership tried to fix 6x...leaked until the day i traded it in, then it was a blown power steering line, then an O2 sensor, 2 MAF sensors, a radiator (dealers fault but i ended up paying for it), a/c compressor blew, 2pc flywheel exploded, rear pass window stopped working, and lastly the clips for the visors both broke off. Audi was such a pain to deal with, never going euro ever again! I got $7200 trade in but still owed $8k offset that with $4200 cash.

Got $220 over "Excellent" trade-in value for my xB (according to KBB.) It was "Very Good" at best, probably closer to "Good" with the rock chips. I suspect buying 3 cars at this dealer in the last 5 years and bringing them 3 other sales and a lease in the last 2 years helped with that.

what?!? I would never sell my 95 Civic hatch... It's been through so much with me... I will bring it back to this former glory, and then SOME!

For my BRZ, I just put $5000 cash down and financed rest...

A very worn out 01 Pontiac Grand Am GT. Was nice once, but then its GM-ness began to take its toll. :-P

oso_25 · 07-26-2012, 06:49 PM

Got $5000 for an 05 Chevy Colorado. It needed some work to get done like needed new tires, fuel injectors, and the power windows needed a fix.

What was the mileage and how much did you get for it?

Nepenthe · 07-26-2012, 06:50 PM

2007 Civic Si Coupe in great condition with 40K miles, Hondata, HFP suspension, nice wheels. Paid cash for the remainder of the FR-S pricetag.
