As many of you know my 2008 Volvo S40 has been a very unreliable car and I decided to cut my losses and get another car. I'm looking for the most reliable trouble free car out there and that means Honda, Toyota or maybe a Subaru. I'm trading my Volvo in and I should have some equity in it. It is fully loaded AWD T5 with all options except navigation or a DVD system. It is a rare black leather interior which they only made o few. I'm a professional detailer and the car is truly in like new shape(See pictures below). It has 37,400 miles on it. KBB lists my cars trade in value at $15, 821 for excellent condition and good condition at 14,971. NADA lists it as $17,700 average, in clean condition $18,950.
What can I expect a dealer to offer me for it towards trade in? What is a fair price I should stick to when negotiating? Also the cars I'm looking at are a Honda Accord for $24,200, CRV for $26,000 and a Subaru Impreza sedan for $23,400. Based on those sticker prices how much can I expect to talk them down to? Is getting them down a couple thousand reasonable? Many thanks for the help!!!
