I was on Autotrader.ca this morning and saw that they have this new “instant cash offer” deal where you type in your car’s details and get an instant offer. I guess they have this network set up at dealerships across Canada? I was more curious than anything so plugged in the Forte.

A little low maybe, but pretty close to the purchase price I paid....

“Subject to dealer verification”

“We’re sorry, sir, we were not aware of this small coffee stain on the transmission tunnel, revised offer is THREE FIDDY”

Kinda curious to be honest. I don’t think I’d sell it at this time, but this process is interesting to me.

Also, my cars are always spotless!

I would let go of the car while it’s worth it, personally.

You don’t think that I will be better off holding onto it for some time?  It isn’t costing me anything.

That’s almost half the original MSRP  for a car that’s just a year old???

Worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.

I figure if you have the opportunity to get what you paid for on a car (especially something not Japanese) , then you might as well try to swap out for another and repeat since the more miles and years you put on a car, the faster it falls in value. Saves you from buying wear items too!

I tried this once. They offered me $11,000 for my then- 50,000-mile E46 M3. First time, last time.

Realistically, yes. Holding onto it makes the most financial sense. Distributing that depreciation over as many years as possible works in your favor.
