Trade In Sky Redline...

[FareedZahid]

okay, if you have the sky redline, and you want to trade it for the 2008 model (when its available)...can you do this? or is that only when you lease the vehicle??

Car dealers are always happy to buy your trade-in for less than it's worth and resell it for more.

some people were saying that they got the full value for their sky's when they traded them in for redline's...i believe one of them said they had 4k + miles on the standard sky...

Perhaps they got what they paid for them, but do you seriously believe that the dealer then turned around and sold the trade-ins for what they paid the previous owners... or do you think that perhaps the dealers found a way to make 1 or 2 thousand when they resold them? And do you really think that the dealers will continue to be so generous now that the production line is flowing and many have unsold Skys sitting on their lots?

oo0o...i see...so how much do you suppose the value for the redline will drop by september/november when the 2008 model is coming out??

remember you will have an old model year when 2008 comes around. I bet you will easily be down 5-7k on what you paid, and honestly I would bet closer to 10k.

I hope most of you did not buy the SKY thinking that it was a good investment. No car is unless u can live with it for about 30 to 40 years. Old is Gold. Only history will judge if u made a wise choice.
