so sell it yourself. check out the auto trader to see what they are selling for. its a little annoying to do it yourself, but you'll potentially make several thousand dollars for your trouble.

Pilotart has the right idea. And just think of the savings of not having to buy two more runflats at the end of each year.....

Just get a two wheel dolly and pick up the front end .........

oR do this:

In this market, one shouldn't look at resale value when buying a new car. You would lose 7-10% easily before the ink dries on the contract. Depreciation is also steep during the first 3 years.

This is why I decided to buy a low mileage, minty '06 MCSc (almost fully loaded) for less than a base '09 MC. But 6 months from now, it might turn out to be a raw deal. Who knows...

Sounds like the dealer will sell it for 26k and make some money on that cute car.
