I have the opportunity to Trade my 05 RS (Never Modified) in pristine condition for a 06 IX RS for a $4677.00 difference.

MY 05 is paid off and I will get $23,500 trade in for it. the 06 IX RS is selling for $25,999 plus Tax and fees.

I paid $29,300 OTD For my 05 last Jan.

I will have to Finance the $4677.00 My wife is not giving up any more money for Cars!

Your opinions please, Is this a stupid? Wise? Please be Honest (I can take It!)

I thought I should add that I will keep the IX bone stock.

WOULD YOU DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

you got beat for paying 29,300 for an 05 RS...............but yeah i would do it if i only had to pay of 4 grand for a 9.

 

Why get a IX wait for the X to come out. Better car and will probably have SAYC too.

 

ix rs

 

I think if you plan on keeping the IX for a while, you should go ahead and get it. But if you plan on getting something new in a few years, then you should just keep the VIII. The IX would be a definite upgrade though regardless.

 

If I were to get a X in the future I would wait until the end of the first year or the following year. Would I be better off with the IX until then or just keeping the VIII for now?

I am really not sure I would like the X I am more (old School) EX: If I were going to buy a Motorcycle I would look for a Sportbike that was still running Carbs. I drove a modified SU Carb 240z for Ten Years and surprised lots of Mustangs and Camaros with that car. Chances are the X will be to refined for my taste.

 

I agree. Keep the VIII. Performance is not that different. If you're going to buy something better don't go for the IX, wait for the X. Have a and think it over.

 

WITH $4000+ you could make your RS better than the current.

so maybe your wife is right.

If you really want it, I would wait a while before jumping into buying a new RS now.

 

If I wait how much less will I be offered Trade-in I have 17,800 miles on the car now. still running the stock Advans! All Highway miles.

 

You would be paying about 0.27 for every mile you have put on your car. It should be closer to .24-.25, so about 4400 to 4500 bucks is what the difference should be.

What is the going rate for every mile you go over on a lease? That is a good way to determine the amount you should pay per mile.

All you are doing is paying for depreciation, but you'll get a car with new tires ~1000 bucks right there, along with the ix upgrades.

 

This is the kind or reply I am looking for. I do not quite understand what you are saying about the lease calculation? Are you saying that I will be doing the right thing if I get the IX at a 4400 t0 4500 bucks difference?

 

Dont be crazy thats what the dealership wants u to do. Keep the 8, its and 05 rs still a great car! I got an 05 rs and i woundnt trade it in for a 9 for 5000, no way.keep it unless u got disposable income?

 

I'd keep the 8, unless I had money growing in my backyard.

 

Ha!! Ha !!! I can't even grow Hair anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

this is not a bad deal.

Considering new tires/brakes, fuild flush/maintanance, wear and tear(dents/ chips), extended warranty from 05 to 06(1 year warranty goes for $500 3rd party?) and of course a IX instead of VIII(resale value down the road? altho the VIIIs are holding very well themselves).
