Need Help...Dealer Trade Values / Consignment
Here's the situation. I'm moving from my .2 GT3 to a .2 RS.
I purchased my 991.2 GT3 from my dealer this past May. Custom order, $173k, purchased at sticker with no ADM.
My dealer got me an allocation for a 2019 GT3 RS. Now in production, delivering in January. This car is also being sold to me at sticker $238k (Weissach, PCCB's, etc.).
The dealer has offered me $157k for my current GT3 ($16k less than I paid...without taxes, of course) in lieu of marking these cars up with ADMs.
Could any of you help shed some light on what I should expect on trade-in values? Is their offer fair?
Should I be asking them to sell it "on consignment" and profit share or something?
Thanks for any words of wisdom here! Like any of us, I hate thinking about losing money, but I'm trying to be cognizant of the situation and the dealer is a close personal friend so I'm just trying to make sure this deal is fair on both sides.

FAIR.
You are are contradicting yourself. This is a business deal. You have a used car. It is not a solid gold flying unicorn that ****s diamonds.
When will this craziness stop.

This is a very fair deal. Dealer is giving you a reasonable trade in. Is it an exceptional trade in? No. But name one time where someone said - wow! I got a great trade in offer!!
never happens.
take the deal. I’d be happy with it.

OP what state do you live in?

Okay so you should get the tax credit. Does it make a difference if you trade the car back in 2018 and take delivery of your new one in 2019? I don't know the answer. Just raising the question.

Yes, there'll be a fairly large tax benefit to trading. I don't believe the difference in year will have any effect.

Hah! I didn't post any pics but it really does resemble a solid gold flying unicorn sh*tting diamonds. Especially with the sport exhaust engaged!
