I traded in a 2020 M5 with very low miles. sticker was 120. I paid 110. Later found out if I used a broker, which I had never heard of, for a $400 fee, u would’ve saved another 2k. Dealer I bought of from offered me 80. Porsche dealer gave me 90. Traded it for 2021 Cayenne GTS

Many dealers use Mannheim (auction prices) for trade-in values, I think KBB is useless. Better to go on one of the big sales sites (cars, auto trader etc) and see how similarly equipped cars are selling. And if trading in, deduct at least 5-6k or 15-20%, whichever is greater., from those average prices.

Vroom offered me $55K for my 2020 801A SCAB with 25K miles. I just checked KKB and according to KKB the trade value is $59K.
FWIW...I paid (invoice) $56K 2 years ago.
Dont even think of Vroom. Good god. Just google vroom customer experience and read for yourself. As someone that attempted to buy a truck off of vroom, discovered it was basically an illegal sale, then took 3 months to get my money back with no one to speak to at all, oh and had to meet a sketchy dude with a transporter 10 miles from my house to give the truck back. Honestly I couldnt make it up. Never, ever, ever.

How do you like the GTS? Did you spec it out and order it or buy it off the lot? Been thinking of trading the M3 for one, but really like having a sports car and a truck so still on the fence about it. Post some pics of it, I'd love to see the spec.

I drive it occasionally. Got it for my wife. The V8 is awesome, exhaust sound up there with the best, especially cold start. Steering feel leagues better than numb M5. Ride quality exceptional. If it had a DCT it would be the complete package.

Oh, lot car. My upcoming Gen3 is only car I ever ordered. I’m impatient. Only thing it’s missing is surround cameras and ACC. MSRP was 127. I paid 116. Has 8k miles. Dealer offered 117 to buy it now. I’d jump on that if I could get her a Sasquatch Bronco at sticker.
