Looked up the car. With all options and those miles loan value is $36k, retail 41k. Absolutely no comparable sales at auction, closest is one with 40,000 miles that brought 27k.

Is there a vehicle you would want that you would drive more? Dealers are much more likely to step up on a trade if it means a sale. If you never drive it, maybe trade it off on a blue chip classic car as an investment. Certainly more fun to look at in the garage. Something like a nice Pagoda, Ferrari 308, Porsche 930?

Donation is another option depending on your tax liability and laws in your state regarding valuation of donations.

I don't really drive anything. I have a couple of homes this car is at my vacation home in florida. We're retired now. My wife is getting ill. It is her vehicle. I don't need to sell it for the money. I just like to get as much as I can.

I have a Maserati, its funny u mentioned getting a different car. I have an 06 gran sport that doesn't even have 1,000 miles on it. I drove my trucks. I bought these cars for my kids, they said they were cool.
And the probably used them the most.

I called goodwill. They give u a donation receipt for what the car sells for. Ill look into consigning, anyone know a dealer kn sarasota /Tampa area?
