My local dealer has an '05 E-blue with SSL package and 61xx miles on the lot. I am thinking of trading in my '03 WW(I will be putting it back to stock) with 24k miles and upgrading. What do think I should be looking to pay for the '05? They also have 4 brand new '05's on the lot right now so they clearly aren't moving cars. I am thinking I can get around 21k for my trade and i would like to get the '05 for under 27K. What does everyone think?

 

thats probably about right, if I had to guess I would say that the used 05 will go for about 28, but you would have bargining room with the 9 coming out soon...maybe

 

Is that at O'Brein Mitsubishi? I might be interested in one of those Electric Blue one's if they fall below $30,000

 

yeah but if you are talking about the one listed on autrader the car I am talking about is at Naples and not Ft. Myers. There is a brand new '05 on the lot in Naples and the window is 35,909. Who are they kidding? No wonder there are 4 new cars just sitting on the lot.

 

These guys sell them for slightly over invoice;

They don't have a E-blue though

 

got my eblue at invoice dec 04, for sure you wld be able to get it below invoice, if you bargain right...just be ready to walk out the door if they don't want to give you below invoice

 

Can you put a number on that? The car I am looking to buy is used with 6100 miles on it. Isn't invoice on a car with SSL around 30k?

 

Well after watching the car sit on the lot another week I decided to go down for a chat. Dealer is not wanting to flex past 28,500 for a used '05 with SSL. They said they could get me 21,500 for the trade but were unwilling to move more on the new car. I told them if the price was 27,000 I would buy it but still nothing. If it is still there next week I will give it another shot.

 

At this point if i were you i'd wait for the 06 model. I traded my 03 for my MR and only recieved 21K for my trade with 17K miles last year $21,500 for your trade towards a '05 with SSL 6k miles and 10yr warrentee at 28K is not a bad deal.
