Considering trading my Turd gen in on a 2nd gen pro

Idk if that would work in your favor to sell it private party. In my state you only pay the taxes on the difference of the trade in to new car value, so if you sold it on your own you may have to pay the full price for taxes. As much as I hate trading a car in, in New York with 8.75% it usually doesn't make sense to sell it on my own.

 

This is how it is in pa. You really have to have a large profit on the sale to counter the tax you pay on the new vehicle if you don't trade.

 

It's happening as we speak.

 

We just traded in my wife's crosstrek and we would have had to sell it for 2k more than they offered which would have been at the top of private party value. Just not worth the time and effort, but for some t might be.

 

Forgot about that. In CA, we dont have that. Full taxes every time!

 

So are you still planning on going back to a 2nd gen? Or a different make/model now that there's no pro deal in front of you?

 

You should check out some of the new Cadillacs they have these days.

 

Why did you post a picture of a
Mercedes?

 

I was subtly making fun of someone and @RyanL got the joke.

 

Roger that. Better than the Caddie.

 

Not sure still looking, had my heart set on that pro.
