Default Hypothetical question- how much would the D2 S8's be worth to a dealer for trade-in value toward

another car? Does anyone know? With all the deals out there, it's very tempting to at least *think* about doing something!

Default I hate to break it to you, but you will be lucky to get $13 for it.

Man you guys are brutal to yourselves. I have a black on black S8 loaded with 80k and have had a guy offer me 16k for it last week. Nothing special about the car really, cheap rims, factory stereo etc. I think if you are selling for 13, you are selling yourself short. I have to go to a dealership tommorow for a part, I'll grab a salesg y and pretend to be really interested in a new S8 and see what they will give me for the old S8. I would say a fair markup is at least 2 grand from what a dealer offers.

The key is to find the right person. Ebay helps braoden your scope. If you have the right color and the right features and the right sales pitch. I see no reason why he cant ask for 20 and get 18.

Default I'd say the answer is the same for any D2.

Dog meat.

Default We were initially offered....

....$12k by the local Honda dealer and that was 6 months ago and our '02 is Effin' nice with pretty low miles. When I (nicely) told them they were crazy to even think about offering me $12k, they came back at me with $15k after they "made some calls". Needless to say, we still have the car.

It has GOT to be MUCH worse now-a-days!
