So I have been shopping for an Infiniti G35 6MT. The quotes for the 6MT itself were pretty decent, as in very close to invoice. The trade-in quote for my Civic Si, however, were not so favorable. One dealer gave me a value that’s $3000 less than Kelly Blue Book (KBB)’s trade-in price for such a car in Good condition. The other gave me a number that’s $2000 less. Apparently they looked at the auction price, which makes me wonder if the KBB’s trade-in prices are ever used. Now I will either sell the Civic Si privately or postpone the G35 purchase.
