Usually, after the 3rd year, and assuming you have average mileage & keep it looking clean & new, etc....the depreciation will start to stabilize & just slowly trickle.
So, to answer your question...I'd have to say you're gonna take a pretty BIG hit if you trade the car in right now. And it won't be that the dealership is trying to rip you off...but when they tell you what they're offering on your trade, you just might get pissed off & walk out immediately. Just telling you straight up...hope it helps. ^-^

Trust me......25 years dealership management and two year managing Infiniti pre- owned. Trouble with yours is that the trading dealer has to establish a selling price that makes it worth while (in the customer's eye) to buy an 05' used vs. 05' new. That only happens if you'll take a beating on you trade value unfortunately.
