I had my G35 for sale for last four months as well, no luck so far, I had inquire at few dealerships about possiblely trade it in, the highest offer I got so far was 27500 and lowest was 25500, its 05 with less than 10k miles, prem pkg and 19's, I think as time goes on the resale vaule of G35 coupe will drop, as more and more G35 found their way onto used car lot, will get worse next May, cus all the "one year" lease special starts to retrun to the dealership.

 

For Black Book Value here you go, Now, this is from the December Edition of Black Book, from the Florida Region. There are differnent values for different regions..i.e. 4x4's will bring more money in regions where snow falls in the winter. For the most part these values will be pretty damn close:
Note: Most Dealers will never give you Xtra Clean or Clean as a value all vehicles seem to be Average as far as trades are concerned, we look at these things all day long, they all look the same! Also loan value is what the bank is willing for finance, banks will sometimes finance upto 120% of this figure but usually charge you a higher interest rate, of course this all depends on your credit rating. Value for low or high mileage is too complicated to list here. If you have any question just ask i'll get back to you asap. Usually extra low mileage will only get you an extra 250-500 dollars. But high mileage can really hurt you.

Oh by the way...don't be discouraged by these figures this is what a dealer wants to pay, we buy wholesale NOT retail! Plus these are negotiable, we use them as a guide. The auto industry isn't doing so well right now sometimes dealers can be flexible, if they don't sell you anything they won't make any money! Good Luck!

 

I just bought my coupe 03 with about 29k miles on it in IL for 22250, its a steal as far as i am comcerned, I got pics of it in the New owners area

 

28K is askable. But with the 08 coming out, as stated above, resale is going to eat **** for our cars.

 

What are you all worried about? The automobile is a depreciating asset. The G is still one of the best vehicles on the road in terms of maintaining residual value. The biggest drop in value happens within the first 1-2 years, it tends to slow after that. All you guys worried about that 08 altima coupe, sell your G and buy an altima and tell me that they're even comparable! As far as lease returns go, that has been happening since '04... it hasn't done much. The biggest variable helping to maintain the value of the G is that most owners prefer to keep them rather than trade them, I know I am. Everytime I get in it I'm proud. Some of you expected you could own one, drive it for a year a sell it without losing any money are crazy, you should have put more money down. I you've have financed 100% w/o $ down you're probably only about 2-3K "upsidedown" thats good compared to the rest of the junk on the road today. If you want to trade every 2 years, pay cash, lease it, or finance for 36-48months. The 08 G coupe will effect the value of the 07 and under coupe , but lets be serious did you think your G would be the last ever built? Come on guys lets be realistic here. If you own a G coupe (and you didnt pay full sticker price) you made one of the wisest purchasing decisions you could have with four wheels. You should all sleep well knowing this!
The preowned Gs will still sell well because all the people who always wanted one but couldnt afford it will buy used, there's lots that cant afford the 08, especially the younger generation.

 

Unfortunately I payed close to list back in 04 and thought i would have it a long time but the Porsche bug bit me and I found the right car so I need to sell. However I am not going to let it go for a crazy low price either. I am planning on paying more for a low mileage no winter car so I figured someone out there will do the same for my G that is low miles, no winter, lots of love. Sure you can buy one that jus came off of lease but I hear about 3/4 year lease cars being turned in with the original oil filter still attached. I like to know what I am buying.

 

OK...it seams like everybody is confused about the tax thing. Let me clarify this You bought a new G for 35K and paid tax on that. The percentage depends on state. You sell it privately, then buy another vehicle pay tax on that full amount as well.

Ok, now you trade your G for 25K and buy a 35K vehicle, you'll only pay tax on the 10K which is the "trade difference". Note: There are some exceptions, but for the most part this rule applies.

What I was trying to explain is that the extra amount you receive with a private sale may be offset by the higher amount of tax you now must pay. I think this is clear enough.

 

I am selling my 2003 coupe with navi and everything at $22,500 and still have it. And the car is mint!

 

I'll show you the numbers, it might be easier this way. If you buy a 07 G35 (for sake of argument) for 35K and trade in your 03 G35 which they appraise at 25K. The bill of sale would be structure like this;
price of vehicle:35000
trade allowance: 25000
total trade difference: 10000
doc. fee: 500 (for sake of argument)
total taxable amount: 10500
tax (5%): 525
tag & title fee: 150 (for sake of argument)
payoff (trade) : n/a
total delivered price: 11175
cash or amount to be financed: 11175

Notice:You did not pay 1750 for tax (5% of 35000)!

 

/\ I got your point and that is why I deleted my post I didn't know what was I reading till I read your post the 2nd time again and realized that I was in a different planet

 

Cactus and RealtorG, sorry about that I retract my statement about the seller paying tax, this is only when dealer buys low sell high for gain, tax is not paid by private parties for the sale. Hey don't forget you can always come down off of the price of your G but you can never go back up....So start high!
