Anyone able to help me on what trade in value I should aim for?

I have a 2007 Daytona Grey RS4.
10,000 miles.
Perfect condition.
I want to make sure I don't get lowballed too much.

prepare to get lowballed. With new 08's selling in the low 60's, you'll be lucky to crack 45k on an 07 trade. Can't rely much on the book numbers in the current market, it's totally skewed.

dealer offered me 45 for my 08. told them to suck me.

Yup, RS4 depreciation is nearly as fast as the acceleration

for an 08.

so even if you figure I may have been able to get 11K off MSRP doubtful in my area, on the 08, I then still was given a reasonable trade in value of just under 49K.

You may do better with the lower miles but I wouldn't count on it.

I have zero regrets on my deal. Got the Sprint Blue I wanted and the car is perfect, perfect, perfect.

It is my opinion that the values will level out for a while now.

daveak05

where as 8 months ago, you would have done poorly with those numbers.

You mean on the trade not the purchase of the new 08 I assume. With regard to the 8 months ago part

daveak05

Right, the trade value
