Suggestion
At least in my area, most dealers I have interacted with will use KBB trade-in as a maximum and then they'll ding you for anything they find that needs repair or refreshening.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Curious, are Boxster's getting better than KBB trade-in figures? Several owners I know have traded theirs in - instead of trying to sell private party right. I assume they just give up trying to sell in the winter months, esp if they are looking for a daily driver replacement vehicle. Other than KBB is there a better guage to actual dealer trade-ins?

POST 2Original post

In my experience dealers offer less than the KKB trade-in value. You can check out Edmounds.com but they are usually even lower than KBB.

POST 3Original post

At least in my area, most dealers I have interacted with will use KBB trade-in as a maximum and then they'll ding you for anything they find that needs repair or refreshening. It seems 10% to 15% less than KBB is the going rate. Of course, if they give you KBB trade-in, most likely they will not be willing to barter much on the list price of the new vehicle.

POST 4Original post

I was thinking of trading mine in since I'm having trouble selling my 3.6L Boxster. I haven't really tried all that hard but if i trade it in dont think I'd get nearly what I put into it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I stopped at the Audi/Porsche dealer today and they said they use the NADA values. Quite a bit higher than either Edmunds or KBB. about 19K vs 16 ish. Car in questions was a MY2003 with less than 30,000 miles.
