Default Re: Considering trade H2 for 2013 Explorer Sport

Giant,
Your last question would depend on the year, make, condition and options... but of course this is known already.

Just understand I bought my about 1.5 years ago and it is a 2003 and had just over 100k on it. The A/C didnt work at the time of purchase, but everything else did.
It has all the grills and guards, plus sunroof, power everything, OnStar, basically the only thing it doesnt have is the exterior rear spare tire holder.

I paid about 20-21k at a dealer with my trade in.
At the time that was about the average price for one with everything.
Of course, now someone said that the prices have gone up a little bit.

But I would say that if you bring it to a dealer to trade in for another vehicle... screw them as much as possible!

Basically set a price in your head that you would need to get for the HUMMER and then stick too it. I have become very good over the years in buying cars, and you need to remember that they need your money more then you need that car. As determined as I was to buy my Hummer, I still dragged out the negotiations for about 4-5 weeks. I feel I probably could have gotten a better deal on my Hummer if i would have pushed just a little harder but thats past tense. I would make them work to get you out of that Hummer. Remember car sales are down, the economy sucks... and they are sitting on something that wont pay the bills.... until they sell it and then get the cash. Cash is King :-)
