GL on your sale, my 2014 that I ordered will be $33,900 for base 7AT but every available option it can get. However, there are not many options to add and I assume yours probably has similar, but there is no way you'll get 33k for it. Some people have said about 29K and I would say that is probably the best you can hope for, but I would think that would be a very generous offer. What cars are you thinking of getting?

I think you're right on all points. Tax savings aside, i still prefer the idea of selling privately before I go for another trade. I got raked across the coals when I traded in my Mazdaspeed 3 (I still think getting rid of it was a mistake).

My top choice right now is a used ('07-'10) BMW 335i sedan, but I'm still keeping an open mind. I've thought about a Cadillac ATS/CTS, the new Mercedes CLA (still too new though), Volvo S60 or similar.... pretty much anything with a quiet, comfortable interior, decent amount of storage capacity, low road noise, respectable mileage, and a fair amount of power on tap.

That's scary! Make sure you review this. Look for electrical issues and fuel pump problems!

I loved my 12 regal GS! Everything but power. I mean it got up and went, just not what I wanted it to be. There is a tune for it though for a nice boost of power and drop in's and a custom exhaust (just removed the mufflers with straight pipes) made it sound awesome. Also lowering springs from H&R are nice.

PS its not a Buick, it's an Opel Insigina OPC. German

Out of all of those, I'd buy a CPO G37, IS350 Fsport or TL.

The G37 is still a little too small for my taste - very close in stature to the Z, it's alright but I'm not sure I am convinced. The 350F is an incredible machine, but MUCH more expensive than the other options. I'm trying to keep the budget under 30k.

Acura TL? I used to be a hardcore Honda guy, but I haven't tracked the TL in a number of years. Why do you recommend this one?

You'll notice I'm just recommending the Japanese options in that space over the used European cars you're looking toward.

Basically buy anything but a Benz or BMW if you plan on keeping it beyond the warranty period.

my guess for trade in would be around 26-27,000 from a dealer

Might even come in 25k. The used market for Z's are following the new market for Z's - falling interest.

The people brining up the tax advantages of trading - that is a state by state thing. Some states (Missouri) allow you to take the tax credit even if sold private party as long as you buy in a certain amount of time. 60 days if I remember right. California gives no tax credits on trades at all, so it is a nonpoint. I wonder what the OPs state does.

I live in Arizona: we do indeed get tax credits for a trade, but I need to balance the trade price vs. possibility of private sale.

Do you also get credits if you sell it private party and then purchase another vehicle within a set period of time? (like Missouri)

To the best of my knowledge, no. I bought a used car via private party a while ago, and I never paid taxes to the seller.
