Just got dealers appraisal

2008 Sport A/C with 41.5k miles, no accidents, clean title.

$16,000

feels bad man

 

Was it based on you trading it in or was it them buying it outright?

 

that was a slap in the face. could probably get $25,000 easy

 

Trading in

 

I hope you're joking.

 

for a 2008? you can get a brand new for slightly more than that

 

I would have been happy at $19,500 but they were way under, and I am in Eastern Washington lol.

 

4x4? Seems low to me, but $25,000 from the other poster is way off base. I would say, push for 19,000

 

Yes 4x4

 

It's almost winter, and on my side of the mountains we get snow lol.

 

Add 5k, that would be more the price you shoot for a private sale.

 

I'm not a fan of many dealers...at all.

How is the truck equipped? What's the condition?

There's always a good size gap between wholesale (what they give you) & retail (what they'll sell it for). Depending on what they were going to do to you on the truck you were about to purchase that may not have been too out of line...it's not a 50% depreciation I'm guessing (don't know the purchase price of your 2008). The 2014s are out so is what...6 years old?

ON EDIT:

Damn we have some fast response...shit I was thinking was posted before I could even respond!

Did you buy it new?

 

just a rough guess, using the mileage and v6 4x4 a/c and clean condition, i come up with 16.2k for trade in.

now granted i dont know what package/options you have so i inputted nothing for the compare based on 98101 zip code.

20k for cert. retail for the dealer, 19k for regular retail. 17.6 private.

 

Ya I was using NADA and got a clean trade of 20.5k

Sr5 (don't know if that's built into sport)?
TRD Sport
Tow
Nerf bars
41.5k miles
Automatic

 

Oh yeah... 20k easy..

 

What are you looking to trade in on? That has some bearing on what the delaer will give. Might be one of those instances where you're better off selling privately.

 

That seems extremely low to me, seems like they are trying to make a huge profit off of you.

 

Long story

My dad has a 2013 rock warrior he wants to trade in on a Silverado. The tacoma is still under his name (long story) and I was just going to pay the difference in trade from the Tacoma to the Tundra to my dad so the Tacoma would get traded in on the Silverado.

 

you will have to bounch the numbers between nada, kbb, edmunds and finally black book.

be careful cause alot of dealers are now using black book, since the numbers they give to dealer is consistently 2-4k lower than the others.

i would avg the others to get a ball park and keep the black book number separate to see how close they are to black book and to the avg of the others.

 

way too low.. especially for a 4x4 ..... negotiate or no deal haha

good luck OP!
