Unfortunately, trading your used car in for a new one at a dealership isn't always a good idea. You often won't get what the used car is worth.

Then what good is the Kelly blue book then? guesstimates?

KBB is pretty useless. Dealers will typically give you $2K less than what trade in value is on KBB.

As for me I need 4 doors, a decent amount of trunk space, a moonroof, bluetooth and a nice stereo system. I'd prefer an SUV but due to gas mileage I have a mid-size sedan. I'll only buy silver, gunmetal, gold or black cars because they get the best resale value. A light interior is a must since it gets fairly hot here in the summer. I'm still not sure about leather interior... simply because I hate sticking to the seat in the summer when it's hot. It looks a lot nicer though and since it usually comes with heated seats I'll probably stick with it in the future. Automatic is a must.

you know my silver colored, white interior LEXUS IS 250 has "cooling" seats? just like in the winter where it keeps yer tushy nice n toasty? in the summer it prevents your butt from getting sticky and having that awful feeling...and when I get into it during the summer the seat is never really that hot...

obviously, gas mileage and environmentally friendly isnt what we were looking for since we got an SUV!
since those 2 arent a big issue with us, i went with look/style first and foremost, second was space/seating, third was towing package/capability. Although, it is designed to help with gas mileage. once you get above 55mph, it shuts down from V8 to V4 to help save. and it uses the FlexFuel, but the closest FlexFuel station we have here is Houston....2 hours away

my Tahoe has removable 3rd row seating. right now the 3rd row seats are sitting in our spare closet since we dont need them right now. once i start hauling DS and all his friends around and carpooling their sports events, then it'll come in handy! and we'll use it for when we go on vacations/long distances giving the truck a rest.

it can pull our boat and again, give Chris' F-250 a rest!

surprisingly, the dealership gave us what KBB said my car was worth!

Since I live in cold, snowy, and icy Maine, any vehicle I purchase must be either front wheel drive or a 4X4.

I've never owned a back-wheel drive car. And I don't plan on changing that anytime soon either.

Not good for driving in snow these rear drive cars. My brother has one, and it was a total farce driving in the snow. Doing a three point turn is dangerous in one of them

Yes, but they're the best for doing donuts.

With front wheel drive you do the donuts in reverse

Accommodation for a family, so it needs to be a smaller sized SUV at least. Power locks are important only because sometimes it's hard to get the doors unlocked manually when you've got your hands full with kids. Other than that, as long as I can plug my phone into it and listen to music, I don't care. I just need reliability and A/C. I spent this past summer driving a car with no A/C in Phoenix and it was horrible.

I won't have a white car.

They all look like stormtroopers.

I can see why, Stormtrooper always get shot at and die.

Exactly. I'm not falling for that.

It has to be a smooth ride; awesome crash/safety tests; easy to operate controls; dealer perks; good milage; blue helps(even though I've never gotten a blue car yet)

HAHAHA I drive a white car! I think I shall name her storm and call her trooper when she pisses me off! lol

Or, you and Fuzzy can have a bidding war for my pickup!

[WaydayTew]

Oh mine would be if it was good in fuel economy and had reasonable good 0-60mph. I got to have a good chance of escaping stupid drivers

This is true but sometimes reverse donuts are impractical.
