Trade-in G35c for G37, Was Dealer Fair?
I was close to trading my LR G35c for a VR G37c, sport until the used car manager hit me with an insulting price of $14,000 !!! My G35 has only 30,000
miles, 19" ADR sterlings on Toyo T-1 R's, 245 fr/275 r, Borla true dual, AEM
cai, and is in exellent cond., incl. $239.95 complete detail at the same dealership 1/11/08 Kelly Bluebook "trade-in" is $19,320-good and $20,375 excellent. The G37 would be my third Infiniti purchase from this Dealer. I have been a loyal customer for cars and ALL service work since 1993.
This was a low blow and may cause me to go out of state for a G37

Wow that is an insult, CarMax offered me $13,000 and my car old G35 had 80,000 miles, with ADR Sterlings.. Your better off selling it private. I just sold mine to a friend for $15k which paid my 2yr lease on the G37 so whatever. Deffinately check many dealers, youd be surprised how good a deal you can get if you find a dealer who wants to 'deal.'

You would get a better price private party like DiamondCoupe said. And the reason why he got a higher price from carmax is because they sell to a different market.

Do you still have all of the stock parts? Most dealers place much higher values on stock, non-modified cars and you can sell your mods over at G35Driver or on eBay.

Yes, I have the stock 18's w/o Tires, exhaust,intake,and grill, but the 19"
T1 R's are like new and I didn't want to hassle of de-modding.
I thought that 14 years of loyalty to the same dealer's service dept. and
my third new car purchase would get me a "fair" deal, not $6,000 below
KBB for an 03 with only 30K mi. It's OK, I can buy a new car in WA, and still
have it serviced at the OR dealer.

If you want to give them one last shot, take 2 copies of the KBB trade-in "good" value and go see the GM or president of the dealer. Tell him that you are a loyal long-time customer, that this is the fair trade-in value of the vehicle, and that if they continue to try to jerk you around on the trade that you can and will take your current and future business elsewhere. I bet he/she will get it taken care of, especially when you show him on paper what the KBB value is.
Oh, another thing... If you buy a car in WA with an OR address, do they still charge you sales tax?
