Howdy all,
I'm looking at updating my old ute. Going to be getting a 05/06 xr6t ute. Now I've been looking about a bit and due to be a complete slackarse I'm more than likely going to buy off a dealer so I dont go through the pain of selling my ute. Now most xr6t utes with dealers are listed around the 32-35k mark. Realistically what would I expect to drop off that price? I've been thinking high 20's should cover it? Is it ball park or am I dreaming? |

low to mid 20s you might get for your car as a trade in.

Do you mean with a trade in for your current ute (So you don't have to sell it) or just a general price to haggle em' down to?
If its just a general haggle down price, then i would expect yeh high 20s. $3000-$4000 off i think is acceptable. When i bought my XR6T 7 months ago the dealer was asking $34,999..I paid $30,000! However, if it is with the trade in of your current ute..that depends on the year/make/model of your ute and the condition! Best of luck! |

It's been my experience that they talk about a change over price, not so much what you'll get or what they want for their car but what you are prepared to pay as a change over price.
Because if you want more for a trade then they're less likely to take some off their end, this way by doing a change over price supposedly everyones happy, I say supposedly. You can bet no matter which way you go you'll get screwed. Go thru the pain of selling privately then get a ton more for yours and then try and buy the new one for cash if you can, especially at the end of the month.

I basically mean the haggled price. ie 34ish down to 29ishor whatever it may be. Obviously changeover will be less once the trade in is included. Trade in is a 02 hilux. my guess for the trade in will be 5k tops.

You' will get a better dollar selling your ute privately.
You will get a better deal with cash.

Buying "cash" doesn't work either. As long as the car is payed for. In fact financing the car through the dealer could possibly get you an even better deal. |

If you purchase a car without the trade in you can get a better feel for the deal you are getting.

Fair enough but by that rule you'd never be happy. Hindsight can cloud your vision I say!
