My dad always told me "its easier to buy something than it is to sell something". You owe it to yourself to wait until your 951 is sold, and then go out and buy what you want.

If you wanna sell it quick, slap it on craigslist and eBay for 5 grand flat. It'll be sold in 2 days. The dealer will give you dog **** in a money bag. Don't give them the pleasure. I remember I was trying to trade in my 1996 jeep grand Cherokee for a wrx like 5 years ago. They said the trade in value of it was 1200 flat out. The wrx was like 10 grand. It was a slap in the face. My mom convinced me to donate it to her church and I did. They sold it a year later for 4000. I was happy they got to use it and sell it for a bit of money.

I'm not saying to donate it but sell it and make more money.

When I went to trade in my 2000 Explorer on my current F150 the dealership said they could only give me $1000 trade in on it. I told them where to stick that, put the Explorer on craigslist, and within a week had it sold for $3600.

it doesnt work like that anymore. they let you deduct what the auction house sells it for.
