Heres the rundown: I currently have a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon 2DR 4 Cyl 2.0 with remote start, XM radio and a radar detector built in. I have had no accidents the car is in good condition with 45,000 miles on it. I am currently still locked into financing the car that I make payments of $319 a month and have about $7300 left on it. According to KBB, the car is worth about the same.
I'm looking at trading it in and leasing a Subaru Impreza or Legacy (Haven't really decided yet). My main goal is to lower the monthly payments on the lease compared to the payment I make now. I spoke with a guy via email over at subaru and he told me:
Now I tend the believe thats a pile of shit. Even googling Galves says that they're aimed directly towards dealerships so they're obviously going to low ball it. And quite frankly, I'm not believing an appraisal book that they make you buy to see how much your car is worth.KBB is not an accurate way to appraise your trade... You should be using GALVES books as they are closer to what the trade in value is. Your car books out at $4-5000 in good condition.
Any advice? Suggestions? Need more info?
Thanks in advance!
