Tips on Buying Cars: Trade in Question - BMW, 318i bmw, car question


Question
I have a 2007, 318i BMW with 27,000 miles, looking to trade it in for a 2010
Prius.  The gas incentives are my primary reason, even though I get decent
mileage on my car.  Question, is the best time to be trading in this car, given the
fact that I have 1.5 years left on my warranty?

Answer
Barney,

Thanks for your question.  With the miles where they are on your car, you want to trade it in before you get to 30,000 miles.  Your car will take another big hit.  If you want to trade it, I would trade it before then.

Hope this helps.

Thanks - JB
