Yup! At that price I ignored too. So far none of the dealers in Calgary have a 2020 coming in or its sold.
Nice! How was your process and do you know if anyone else has incoming stock?
Pretty stressfully process. Unsure of everything because of covid. Then bam I got a VIN. Someone out east saw the cars at the yard. Then saw them going out on train. So I'm hopeful. I do know. Send me a message
So even if the dealership doesn't have a VIN yet, the car could still already be built? My estimated deliver date is beginning of May and the dealership doesn't have a VIN for it yet.
Way, way, WAY easier said than done
The only advantage to trading in, is that you'll pay less in taxes for your new car. Buy a $40,000 car and trade in your old one for $20,000 and you only pay taxes on $20,000. But, do the math. They will probably offer you $5,000 less than your used car is worth because they need to make a profit when they sell that, too.
You can do an "accommodation " sale. You sell your car to someone but they have to go through the dealer. Dealer treats it as a sale so you still save the taxes. Doesn’t cost the dealer anything. And you sell the car at the agreed upon price between you and the buyer. Buyer has to pay the taxes anyways. Everyone’s happy.
