I took a hit on a trade-in and it was simply a mater of paying for convenience. My garage was full (9 quads), and there wouldn't be any room for another one without getting rid of something quickly. I certainly could have gotten more $$ for it selling it myself, but I just didn't want to take the time or the hassle.

All the time in life we pay for convenience or a service. Like flying first class rather than coach...no difference. And, I absolutely hate dealing with people when you are trying to sell something! They always act like they are getting ripped off, even when it's a great deal. Something about human nature in that situation just isn't all that pleasent. And don't ask me about real estate transactions, because it will make me sick....

And...."MISS MY ENGINE BRAKING from my 450ES I had." There's a prophetic statement!

 

I traded my 07 Rinny in for a 07 Rubicon, I got what I thought was a fair trade in. It all depends on the dealer and what you're trading in. I wanted to trade in my Rincon before everyone discovered what I had found out about them....LOL
