Is february/march a bad time or are mustangs always like this?
 

Well after hearing tons of commercials for the local ford/hyundai/vw/mitsubishi dealer(where I bought my stang) I decided to see what deals they had just because. Turns out they have 2013 f150 for up to $10k off and genesis sedan for up to $9k off. Well decided to see what they would offer me since they always brag about best trade in in town(which was true with my last truck)

Well they only offered me $22k, but it was a BS appraisal. Car never left the parking spot, salesman just went in the back and played on nada with one of the managers I guess. He refused to show me any numbers, saying it was $22k firm for trade and only $5k rebates for the f150. Guess he doesn't want a second commission check from us. It really shocked me cause on my ram they offered nada plus $2k, or nada trade and x plan pricing for the stang.

So on the way home from there, I dropped by the local GMC dealer to see what they would offer. They said $20k bought outright or they could possibly match the $22k on trade. Manager said wheels were dirty, exhaust was too loud(it's going back to stock if traded), and engine bay looked like crap(none of the engine/coil covers are on.)

Is this just a bad time of the year for trading in stangs or is it just the way stangs are?

$20-22k seems ridiculous for a 2014 5.0 with 8,300 miles on it. Especially since NADA ranges from $23kish(rough trade)-$26kish(clean trade) for the 2013 model.

I got $23k for my base 2013 Gt with 23k miles. I traded for a new f150 that was back in October.

I got offered 23k for my 13 premium recaro/brembo car. 12k miles. Sucks.

Resale on stangs suck.

Why do you want to trade it for a Genesis or a truck? Lmfao. Are you getting married or building a house?

It's not a collector car. It's not a rare car. It's not a special car. It's a Mustang and the economy sucks as it is. There's no demand.

And I was told my rams had bad resale. This is worse lol. Oh well, I like the car so it's all good

Strokd- neither of those

But I'm gonna go to the Hyundai side of the dealer in the morning and see how much they offer(they were the ones that gave me nada+2k on my ram). This oughta be interesting lol

Why does your car look like crap with only 8300 miles?

Huh?

You said yourself in your post your engine bay looks like crap.

I said the manager said the engine bay looks like crap. I guess he doesn't like the fact that all the engine cover and coil covers aren't in there

Edit: I'm about to throw all the engine bay pieces back on, and clean it up before I take it to the Hyundai dealer tomorrow

I still dont know why you are trading it for a Hyndai. You are doing it wrong.

What's wrong with a Hyundai? And I'm doing what wrong?

Trading a bad ass Mustang for anything Asian is just wrong... lol

Because Supras and GTRs are lame compared to Mustangs lol.
