About to trade in a 2016 ctsv and a 2016 Z06 for a used 2016 911 turbo s!
Just wondering if I'm getting a decent deal the original sticker is 195k the car is at a McLaren dealership in pa.
the car has 18500 miles and is going for 151k
Originally they offered me 63k for the ctsv and 66.5 for the Z06 I told them I need at least 70k for both and they agreed very quickly inturn made me wonder why?
Regardless of the trade is this too high considering the mileage, and maybe someone can run the VIN for me?

Thanks!!!

I would say you can probably squeeze another $7-5k out of the dealer.

 

Only you know how much you can afford to spend. Not knowing all the particulars I can say with a fair degree of confidence that you will do much better selling your cars and buying another from an individual as opposed to a dealer. However, if you put a high value on your time it may be worth it to you to do a quick and easy with this dealer. And if you plan on owning a Mac down the road it may be a good investment in a relationship with this dealer.

That's a lot of miles for an almost new car. It must have been a daily. I'm really **** about paint and would be checking it very carefully for rock chips, curb rash etc... Someone that puts that many miles on a car in a year without marring it knows how to take care of it and park it and that would be a very good sign for me.

 

A car with that mileage will almost certainly have small rock chips on the nose and the rear fenders. That's not necessarily a bad thing; cars are meant to be driven! That mileage seems relatively high for a 2016 Porsche, but I wouldn't worry about it. I would ask the dealership to do the 20,000 mile service before buying the car (or send it to the local Porsche dealer to have it done).

You can get a one-time or limited subscription to Carfax to run a VIN.

 

If appears you are in the ballpark. If you love the car, just do it. People will beat the dead horse on values and stories all the while it gets sold from out under you. The values appear close. Give it one last go and see if they will bend any more but at the end of the day if you like the car, buy it.

 

Well spoken & agreed!

 

Might mention just buying a car is a hard enough job but in your case you are engaging in 3 transactions: selling (trading in) 2 cars and buying a car.

Probably too late now but my advice to you would have been visit the used car pricing sites and plug in the numbers for the cars involved and get their trade-in/wholesale values.

Then look at what you are being offered for your trade-ins vs. what the price of the car you are buying is above its trade in value.

Generally if a dealer agrees to a bump in trade in allowance he's making it back on the mark up of the car he's selling.
