Long story short, we are trading in our car with balance owing for less expensive car that would mean no payments.
The dealership we bought from emailed specifically because they want the sort of car we have to sell used.
We need to do this with NO money out of pocket and NO financing. We could not get financing if we even tried and have all of $30 right now. So it HAS to work this way.
Current car: 2013 Mazda CX5 with 47000 miles on beautiful nearly new condition and upgraded tires (also in beautiful condition -- $1000+ set)
Favorite used: 2010 Kia Forte with 42,000 miles. They are doing touch up paint. Couple of dents. Needs air conditioner repair (also being done)
Listed at $11,495
Other used option: 2007 Kia Spectra with 74,000 miles. Minor fabric damage in back. Ding with small crack in windshield (windshield to be repaired).
Listed: $7,995
We owe $12,200 on our current car. They can sell it for around $21,000.
Also have remains of service contract to add about $1000-1500 to whatever trade in value.
Any suggestions on how to approach this? Would like the lower miles. Only car in house has to be reliable. It also has a bit of warranty where the other has none.
Tax has to be added. Can drop price or something to cover that.
In Kirkland, WA
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I know they make a fair amount off of these so hoping to figure out how to get it to work in our favor here...
ETA: this is our 3rd car through them. First two brand new. Also brough them another customer who also bought new from them.
