I'm looking at an E63 AMG wagon to replace my 08 GTS. The dealer offered me $46k on trade. Carmax offered me $47k.

Edmunds and KBB both say $50-52k trade.

My car is clean, inside and out, w/23,000 miles. It's optioned for enthusiasts with the 6spd manual and PDCC. It also has the factory trailer hitch installed.

Here is the original window sticker:



Are those trade in offers what I should expect?

 

What ever happened with your GTS value. I have a similar vehicle (2006) Meteor Gray/black full leather, manual etc....

 

Try again

 

My gts 2008 which I bought for 95k, is worth 54k now. That's just what the market bares. Is what it is.

 

The Cayenne, especially the higher end ones, drops like a rock the first couple years and continues to go down although at a slower rate. What they are offering is not good, but to be expected especially with the new model being out already.

 

Ah, the depreciation demon. I'd like to move from a GTS into a new turbo but without a huge discount and being offered 62k for a car I paid 85 for a year ago is not something I'm willing to do.

 

WayneE, I tried to pm you, but I dont have enough posts yet.

I am interested in buying your GTS if you have not traded it in yet. email me 884487 at gmail.com if not let me know where you traded it in so I can have at go at it with the dealer. Thanks Jarrad

 

I'm in the same boat, I got offered $52k by carmax...I'd think folks with kids would rather have a manual GTS than an auto but ohh well

 

Mine is spoken for for $54k to my dealer when new turbo arrives.

 

Nice...I'll come up to Colorado and do a twofer deal...though not digging the newer ones, too feminine looking and not aggressive enough for my taste but with that said awesome interior

 

Anyone else with a 08/09 GTS Manual with PDCC that is selling?

 

You can have mine if you want one with 18.5 and spare set of new snow tires

 

Always remember that the "trade-in" values that are posted by Edmunds, Kelley Blue Blook, etc, are NEVER representative of true trade-in values. I don't know where this information comes from or why it is posted.

What you will be offered on a trade is the AUCTION VALUE of the car. This pricing is not made readily available to the public. I don't know why, but it is treated like some big secret in the car industry. This is the price that the dealer will be able to get for the car at a wholesale auction, and I have never found a dealer who will give you more than auction value on a trade unless they have a prospective buyer lined up already for your incoming vehicle.

 

Man finally someone who understands that KBB & Edmunds are NOTHING but guides..pretty much take 20% OFF KBB FAIR VALUE *even if you "think" your car is excellent) and thats about the going auction price..I always told sellers who were selling 02 911 C2's last month that were asking 30k for them & saying KBB said so, i said "ok call KBB and sell it to them then" lol
