Im about to trade in my 05 coupe(Auto) for an 05 6mt coupe(at an Infiniti dealership). My car is still pretty new w/ less than 2k miles, and it is being financed through Infiniti. If i get an even trade or money back for my trade, then how would this work? Will I just keep making the same payments if trade is even? If i get money back, will they just take it out of the amount financed?? Is it even possible to trade a car that hasn't been paid off yet?? If anyone can help me with this that would be great.

 

How much down payment you put down on 05AT? what you mean by even trade? is that dealer will offer to pay your loan off? or you mean that they offer you an NEW 6MT for your USED 5AT and your payment remine the same? hahahahaha...highly unlikely,at least you will have to pay sale tax and DMV fees again, which is amlost 10 percent of pruchas price...., it will be two different deal, they will pay the loan off and get you a new loan.

Of course you can trade the car which it has not been paid off, if dealer not offer you enough for it to be paid (they never offer enough), they will just add the difference to you new loan....now, if you had put large sum of down payment begin with(10K)? then you might be ok...my advise is.....DO NOT do it!

 

Well, I have an auto w/ premium,sports, and navi., and I was lookin to trade for a used 6mt with same miles w/o navi . Comparing new to new my car is worth about 3k more. I have paid 15k for a down payment. So, if I have to pay ttl fees again, would I be able to come out of this deal without paying more or even with a little something back?? Does anyone have experience with this kind of trade?

 

If you put 15k down you should come out ahead without paying TTL again. I wouldnt do it without coming out ahead. If I were you I would try and work out a deal for a new 6mt even trade because you put so much down.

 

You are trying to make this trade sound quite simple when in fact it's not. First, you are going to have to pay taxes and tag transfer fees on the transaction. In my State its 5%, so you will already be out around $2K. Next, you will have to find an extraordinarily good dealer who would be willing to buy your car at anywhere near the retail price. Remember he has to sell your car at a profit. So even if he sells you the new car at a rock bottom price, there's a significant differance in price between the retail value of a new car and the best wholesale value of a used car, even one with low miles. So unless you are trading a loaded automatic for a base manual, you are going to be out at least $5K when everything is considered.

 

Find out how much are they offer you on the trade first, B/B's trade-in value is around 33275, if, thats IF dealer offer you that much, then, how much are they selling the 6MT to you? if its around 31k? you should be at even or give and take 500 depends rate of sales tax!...if you are looking to get some cash back for this deal? they would have to either offer you more on the trade-in or sell you the 6MT for less than 31K, unless you willing to do an "lease"?

 

Why didn't you just go with the 6MT to begin with, might I ask?

 

Have you read all the complaints on this board about the clutch in the 05 6MT's (rattling, engage point too high, etc.)? You might want to reconsider...

 

Nope, and I have yet to experience them myself.

 

Nope, I believe those are on the 03-04 6MTs. Also, the rattle is a TSB on the rear axle (tranny actually). Again, I think those were mainly on the 03-04's.

 

Yeah. me neither.

 

You will probably have to pay $7-8k extra with the trade.

 

Might as well get a supercharger with that money.

 

Dude, it's not worth it. I went through the same thing...I initially wanted a 6speed but then I ended up coming out the dealer with an Auto for one reason or the other.

After some time I regretted it and wanted a 6speed, but it was too big of a hit financially to trade...and there's no way to convert an auto to a 6. I just decided to take personal responsibility and buck it up, my next car will be a 6 speed hopefully.

Dude, a 6speed is no reason to go from a fully loaded G with navi and everything to a stock manual. It's not that big of a difference....

If the auto seems slow, you can get a grounding kit to make the shifting crisper. And if you do see FI in your future...Automatics are better suited for that kind of power than Manuals are, Just ask Gurgen.

 

u can adjust the clucth to were itdoesnt sit so high and no rattling here
