Need some advice!
I never thought this point would come, but I need some advice on possibly selling my SRT…here is my predicament:
I bought my SSB srt-6 convertible a couple years ago with only 4600 miles on it for just over $22500. It now has only 12000 miles and is in almost perfect shape with navigation and the chrysler maxcare warrantee (through 2014 I believe.)
I live in Iowa so it is really only usable from maybe Apr/May to Oct/Nov every year and takes up my single car garage the remaining winter months…kind of a pain shoveling out the other car, but worth it in the summer!
I have a 2004 chevy Malibu maxx with just over 64000 miles as a daily driver and that is needing some brake and suspension work soon ($1200+) and have been kicking around the idea of getting rid of the SRT and Malibu and getting a mid/large SUV (Pilot/Venza/Highlander…) I also just bought a home last fall so bills are a little higher than they have been for me in the past…I’m not in a situation where I HAVE to sell now or am struggling financially, but lower monthly payments and lower insurance would definatly help out…
After talking to a couple dealerships, to no surprise, trade in value of the SRT is lower than I’d like ($16-18k) and I don’t think I’d have much trouble selling it and then putting the cash and Malibu trade towards the new vehicle.
Here are my questions:
What do you think a dealership would ask for the SRT on the lot? I was thinking of listing at $23k and seeing if I could get a $21k+ offer…Is that a fair price for something this rare/low miles?
With the low miles I put on this car, how much do you think I will be losing on value every year I keep it? Any prediction on what the value will be over the next few years?
Thanks for any insight/advice you all may have!
