The Nissan dealer took my mom's 96 Geo Prism with 280k+ miles on it and a salvage title in trade for their new $10k Versa sedan.
They gave her $200 for it, but they took it. I don't get how dealers get to be choosy, other than the fact that the BRZ / FRZ are probably selling like hotcakes and they're not making any deals. Maybe they were not interested in haggling over trade-in values. Just full MSRP in / out, and calling out "next". |

I'll be quite happy to keep it for winters, though financially it will be a little tougher. |

Why not wait until the FRS/BRZ is no longer THAT hot? If/when the stars align for you, one thing that helped me in selling my Yaris was over $4 gas. When gas gets expensive, my Yaris sold (to Carmax) for $1500 more than I was expecting to get. I asked then why so high... they said when gas is $$$, 4-cylinder anything sells. |

i've had a couple dealers laughingly turn down my 1992 civic with 400 000 miles, but i expect that reaction and it's mostly a joke that i try to trade it.

Manual transmission cars sit on the lot far longer than autos here in the US.
The dealer came off $2000 off the asking price because it had been on the lot a while and because it's a manual. Personally, I'll only ever buy a manual tranny car. |

Surprised to read they wouldn't take your Yaris on trade. Last I looked into it around here, these cars were holding value quite well and reselling for not a whole lot less than I paid for mine new.
