i got an 03 doggy door w/ 83k miles on it auto
everything except navi it is the non-sport edition
w/ nismo aero kit all around!
what do you guys think i should get for it??

or is anyone interested in buying it???

i think im gonna get myself the M45

 

If you were to trade it in, dealers will pay you about 10 or 11k depending on the condition of your vehicle.

 

thats it huh???
so prolly like 14k on the street?
the car is in very good condition!

 

Talk the dealer up on the trade-in then....IF they want your new business.

 

yeah, considering the model changed. And the Nismo Kit, not really worth too much on trade in either. They just go by the VIN number on most cases, like the insurance company when a vehicle is claimed a total loss. Oh and one more thing, when selling a car to a dealer, they check if any body panel has been repainted. There is a deduction for every body panel that has been repainted, except for the bumpers. You can tell by running your index finger along the edges. Non-repainted panel is smooth, and repainted panel is rough. FYI.

 

What color is your car? Wanna sell that nismo kit if it's BS? Provided you still have your stock stuff

 

If willing to part out with nismo kit and it's BS... I will trade you my stock bumper and such + cash for your nismo kit. LMK. You have a PM

 

my car is obsidian black!

what do you guys think is a good price for trade. cause if the dealer isnt going to give me much for trade in!
but if i decide to sell it privately then i wont trade

 

privately I would say 13-14 dealer at most 10. I'll take the nismo if you want to part

 

Seriously? I never knew this. My dad repainted his truck and the paint is smooth, so does that mean its never been repainted?

 

just go open your car door and rub your finger along the edges, then go rub on the edge of the re-painted panel. Then you will know what I mean. Dealers consider any re-paint an accident repair, so there are deductions. No matter how good of a body shop you go to, dealers can tell because, when vehicles are assembled, the body panels are dipped in paint and when re-painted at body shops, paints are sprayed onn. So, if you have little door dings or rock chips in your original factory paint, don't re-paint it, its worth more when you sell it, then as if you were to have it re-painted. But, like I said before, bumper is ok.

 

stealerships will rape you on any trades... better off selling privately OR sell it to carmax, they'll give you WAY more money than what you can get for a trade.

I recently sold my nissan frontier to carmax for $19K (granted it only had 3K miles on it) and the local dealers (cerritos nissan) gave me $14,5K and thats trying to hound them for a good deal.

 

Factory does NOT "dip" the panels in paint! wth?!

 

yeah i dunno about this factory diping the paint. its all sprayed on! except when a car dealer paints it they paint it on the car not off the car!

 

When you trade your car in they have this little machine that test your paint weight? Something like that, definitely will not give u full trade in if the numbers are different.
