I'm sorry to say the least, but despite it being such a great car with great interior features... I can't help but think it's lacking in power... I'm wondering what the trade in value of this car will be if I take it to a used dealership b/c I'm thinking of trading it in for a used g35. And before everyone starts dissing me and stuff, try to understand I just want some help and not here to diss MY OWN CAR.

It is a white gts with sun and sound package & 7000km on it. A used g35 is around $20k before tax so I'm wondering if trading it in is enough to get the g

On a side note, I really really like the looks and features on the car, it handles well and have lots of space for passengers and in the trunk but 152hp doesn't cut it for me. I know all sorts of mods are in the works, including turbo which will boost it to 300+ hp but I lack the technical knowledge in modding cars to mod the lancer

If anyone can provide me with the trade in value I will really appreciate it, thanks in advance

 

ask the dealer to quote you an offer on your 08

 

Only the dealership you go to can provide you with a trade-in value. But I can tell you that it won't be 20k and that you will lose money on the deal.

Am I the only one that noticed there is a thread started like this one every day and it's always posted in the wrong forum?

 

hey dude, i went to a few dealers looking for trade in values in MA.... the most they will give for the car is $13,500. Your better off selling yours privately, thats what im doing currently.

 

Yeah, don't trade it in! Mitsus (besides Evos) are known for heavy depre. right off the lot! Good luck, and definitely consider a private sale.

 

Yes you guys are right.

I am also selling mine privately and i already got 2 contacts and they're willing to pay an OK price. Don't forget that there is alot of demand for the GTS right now since they are not being produced anymore --> So now is the best time to sell.

I'm willing to get a VW GTI.

 

not being produced anymore?

 

lol ok my bad..

I meant that doesn't build any new GTS's anymore. There is a new trim called SE and apparently it's not as good-looking as the GTS.

Thats what the guy that wants to buy my car told me...

clearer now?

 

ooohhh yea... wow i bet you can get more outta him if he is that "smart"

 

LOL yeah as soon as he told me that on the phone i was like : "Yeah i know that GTS's are really hard to get these days --> $ 27 000" lol

And in the back of my mind i was like : " Really? Sweeeeet!"

 

^LOL pwnt!
