Default thinking about trading in my Fit... think its worth close to what I paid???

its a 2007, taffetta white, automatic sport version.

perfect condition 5500 miles.

I'm not sure what I ended up paying total with all the warranties and all that. but it was up there. payment is about 320 a month. fully loaded, I mean the nice mats, the rear cover so you can't see in...has just about everything. I got it back in october...or november. low miles for the amount of time I think.

what do you think I should try and sell it out right, or try to trade it in?

Looking to get a 2007 civic Si. An s2000 to a Fit was a harsh change. I need the 6 speed back but a little more discreet. for a daily driver at least, my turbo integra is fun, but the ride to work in the Fit is just boring for everyday traffic and travels, and of course the integra is a project. so its just unreliable.

Any input is great, thanks!

Well here's what happened to me the other day. I went to my local Honda dealership inquiring about a possible trade-in for my wife an Accord. 12,000.00 was what they offered based off of Invoice - Depreciation. They dont have the trade-in values yet (didn't at this time), so thats how they calculated what it was worth, without even looking at it. So good luck. I recommend be patient and try to sell yourself. The demand is still there, just gotta find the right buyer.

Find someone to buy it, do NOT trade it in.

Well we have an Automax dealership that buys used cars... When I came home from Iraq I wanted a s2000, well they had one that was just perfect for me except the lil hole on the top but other then that it was perfect. I offered them 20k for it since it was in good condition. I told them that I wouldn't trade my car in unless I got top dollar for it. There manager wanted to look at the car and I showed him what I had done to it and what not and he made an offer of 17.5k and I took it. I only owed 13k and some change on it so the rest went towards the car. Funny thing was that they sold my car the same day to a student around here where I live. But they turned around and sold it for 23k!!!
