Default Approx. value ??

Hi all,
Did anybody recently buy or sell a Premier Edition coupe? I have found a 2017 GS that I like and have been communicating with the dealer for about a week, even talking with the owner. The only thing we can't agree on is the value of my trade. The condition of my C7 is ex. with approx. 9200 mi. It also has the protective wrap. I am debating if I should put it on our for sale section, but I would miss out on the tax savings. A ball park price would be fine from anyone that recently dealt with one. I am looking to buy a new 1lt, m7, GS coupe. Anyone else looking for a Premier Ed. feel free to send a PM.

Rick

I've totally given up in trying to trade in anything.

I just buy outright and sell as I wish. Even with my state's high tax rate I at least break even, if not come out considerably better... and, I don't have to deal with the BS from the sales person, sales manager, general manager, and whomever in their shuffling back and forth and double-secret conferences.

I read a review a few days ago, customer comes to pick up a car at our local dealer in BC, he has email reference.

Goes to pay with amount agreed , and dealer says where is rest of money.
Can not confirm but what a raw deal if true.

For those that are not aware, the Premier Edition Coupe was a limited edition coupe (500 built) that had virtually every option available. Laguna Blue, 3LT MN7, Z51, Brownstone interior, visible carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber dash, etc., etc.

OP, use Kelley Blue Book to get an idea. Using my zip code:

There are three on Autotrader, two coupes and a vert. The prices range from $48,675, Private Sale to $79,888 dealer (way too high). The vert is $55,900. All are under 5K mileage.

That means squat.
The dealer will tell you that options don’t count when trading it in, I thought most C7 guys know that😂

Prices vary by supply and demand and location, location, location. CA has higher prices than other states because of the weather just like buying homes. When C7 came out in 2014 dealers had anywhere from $10K to $30k market adjustment markup above MSRP in CA.

Just look in the local sales prices by private owners in your area, there is your dude answer

I have no idea what planet that guy lives on, but my P.E. Vert didn't even cost that much new.

I wonder if he mistakenly thought it was an actual collector's item.

P.E. won't give any extra markup than a regular 2014 3LT M7 Z51 on an open market.
