umm, maybe not?

In my previous entry I mentioned that we'd probably trade in my current car if we are able to buy me a new one next year.Going to Kelly Blue Book, estimating for 150,000 miles on a '97 SL1 in "good" condition, my car is worth a whopping $1,475. I have to choose "good" condition because there are a few knicks in the paint (mostly on the hood from flying rocks, and one in the door from another car), and they may end up replacing the windshield (sand pitted) unless we do it first, and chances are they'll know about the "clutch" issue (if there really is one)...
If I were to stop driving my car right now, I'd get $1,625. Whoopee!
That is, of course, Kelly Blue Book's estimate. Dealers can always go higher if they so decide (like they did for the Nissan Xterra we traded in for the VUE, Blue Book estimated around $15K, Saturn offered $16K).
Well, off to go swap cars with Saturn. Now it's the VUE's turn, to get its left sway bar replaced. I think I'm going to grill the service advisor about my clutch, see how much more they'll tell me than what they did over the phone.
*sigh*
