December 16th, 2008
Question From Jade: i am thinking to trade in my 2008 nissan sentra S with 33,000 miles on it .. in perfect condition though also have have bluetooth. how much do you think the trade in value is?
Queen of the Road: Hi Jade. Are you sure you don’t want to try selling yourself? Dealerships profit from flipping trade-ins. So they give low low estimates to customers. If you have the time, you may end up savings a substantial amount of cash.
For 2008 Nissan Sentra S with 33,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $10,800 (being in above average condition) to $10,200 (being in average condition) and $9,600 (being in below average condition).
A dealership will give you a low estimate, then flip it by marking it up around +12%-14%, so their estimated retail prices could range from $11,000 to $12,250 or more. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
On another note, did you hear about the recall on the 2008 Sentras? RECALL: 2007/2008 Nissan Sentra’s Leaky Brake Cylinder If not, please take it in or mention it when you trade it in for the sake of the next owner.
