I normally NEVER trade in a car. EVER. But, there are so many Z's on the market here in St. Louis, that my attempts at "selling it outright" were going no where. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I've EVER traded in a car.
I priced her to sell at $17500 (KBB puts it at $21k w/ 25k miles) and ran the ad on several sites and local newspaper..and even on this site for a while. No bites and I was running out of time (baby's due in a month and a half).
So, I did the unthinkable and traded her in.
I owed $17k and got $19.5k because I wouldn't take any less. They pushed to only give me payoff because they said they have a hard time unloading (selling) Z's during the winter here in St. Louis. I simply told them no deal and picked up my **** and walked out. Of course the "manager" was able to make an exception.
They then tried to tell me that there was an issue with the carfax info on the car. Come to find out, they put in the wrong VIN.
It took me nearly 3 hours to make this deal. Which when I bought my Murano from them in 2006, I was in and out in 30 minutes.

Nice deal! when its time for me to trade in my old truck for a Nismo Frontier, I'm gonna need some negotiation tips from ya! that damn truck is just running too good to get rid of it tho...
Congrats on the new Nissan, lookin forward to checking it out!
