selling privately is always better, well most times it is

I am noob at selling cars. Can one of you wise guys help me out?

I want to sell my Acura TSX, but it isnt fully paid yet. I think i paid about half the car price through monthly financing, and have two years left to pay out of four year payments.

What happends when I do trade-ins? Would i be left with no money because I havent fully paid off my loan payments? Thanks...

talk to your bank that you finance through first, if you currently have a high rate then tell them that you are looking for a lower rate on a new car. If they don't budge, then shop around at credit unions for loan options. Banks are looking for business, but their rates have gotten very conservative and they are only lending to people with experienced credit. Then go talk to the dealer. Tell him/her what kind of options you've been offered after you talk him/her down on the car price, it might swing more leverage towards you, if he can't do better or atleast match the financing.

Just a thought.

don't understand why a lot of you put down leasing... if you have the car for a few years or less -- it is usually CHEAPER and involves less hassle.
someone else wanted to know why you would "mod" a leased car.. i modified my 2004 G35 and my 2008 G37... you just take the parts off and sell them or keep them on. what's the difference when you own the car anyway??

i'm still surprised so many people buy new cars... just old school thinking i guess. most people don't keep the car long enough to get the full value of purchasing.
then again... it all depends on how the leasing numbers work out with this car. i'm assuming they should be good tho.

Never thought of it that way, but you may actually be right. I generally get tired of a car after about 4 years. If Nissan offers some ridiculous lease terms like the $199/mth for a G37 Journey that Infiniti did, I might opt for a fully loaded 370z, enjoy it, then get rid of it in 3 or 4 years.

leasing has its pros and cons, as does financing. but the Z has never been a good car to lease. It has the worst residual value of any nissan model ( not sure bout the GTR). so you really have to sit down and play numbers to see if it finacially makes sense.

what does it mean by worst residual value?
does that mean the z does not hold its value well compared to other nissans?

Leasing can be good, if you payment is low enough all your doing is paying off most of the depreciation, money that would be long gone whether you bought or leased.

I leased a Lexus IS350 for 3 years, but I got tired of it after only a year and ended up finding somebody to swap with. If I lease again it will be for 24 months, but those are harder to find.

i leased my G37 for 24 months... but the money factor was really good for that term so the monthly ended up being very close to the 36/39/ month with the right negotiation...
you should be able to lease almost any car for 24 months.. it's just whether or not it makes financial sense.

What did you dislike or grow bored with in the IS 350? The Lexus along with the 370Z are on my top 3 list right now. I'm still leaning towards the Z of course but was curious as to what your experience with the IS 350 was. Cheers.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you get tired of with the IS350? I had considered that car as well as well as the Z of course.
