Toying the idea of trading it in *if* (a big if) the dealer give me a good deal for newer one.

I see them going for low to mid 80's, but not for trade in value

Is low to mid 80s normal or a good price?

if you get 80 on a trade in, i think that is as good as it gets for these... sad to say
depends also on the car you are looking at and how much room they have in it -- the pay sticker on the new car and get a better trade, or pay below sticker and get a lower trade game...

Keep it :-)

FoW appraised it in high 80s last month but their car is still a bit over price, imo. Now they just dropped the price on theirs. http://www.ferrariofwashington.com/W...3221-used.html

trade in value with 13k for 2008 would most likely be 85k.

the dealer would list it for sale @99k and sit on it during the winter for a $90k sale come summer (hopefully).

the car on the link 2011 RS is way overpriced in my opinion. You can find them for 125.000 with those options.

Ken the reason they gave you such a high trade in value is they are asking way to much for that car. I got mine appraised there for the same car, tell them whatever they offered you for your RS then offer 125-130.
