One more thing to lust over
Okay... here's the boat I'm in. The truck with my Silver/Silver STi is arriving on the 3rd of August (I'll be paying MSRP)
. The used car market sucks out here at the moment, so the dealer I'm going through offered me $13k for trade on my 2002 Forester, which is $2400 less than I owe :x. If I trade it I'll save about $800 in taxes, so I have to take that in to account, but it still is a little upsetting.
Another dealer in the area said they could give me $400 more in trade, but I'd have to take WRB/Gold (which is arriving on the same truck as mine, I assume)... I said I'd think about it. I know, I'm being picky... but I like silver cars because they don't show dirt or scratches.
I've been trying to sell private party for what I owe (running ads online and in the papers and such), but as I said before the market is so poor out here for used cars at the moment (thanks to all these factory rebates and 0% financing on new cars) that nobody has been all that interested.
So... is it worth it? Should I wait six months and try and get what I owe for the car? Or should I be impatient, eat the $1600 ($2400 - $800 tax credit), and just get it now while the weather's warm and the roads are dry 8) ?
