Maybe go to a different dealership and see what they say...and maybe even pit the dealerships against each other?

Glad you like the site!!!
I think the 10K for the trade-in sounds not too far off. I would have guessed somewhat more, like maybe 11K, and I'd suggest you go for that.
(BTW you didn't say which 3-series car, so I'm assuming basically base.)
As maybe a frame of reference, sort of: Last year, a guy on one of these sites was trading in an '01 Acura CL-S with just about the same mileage as your car. His car was probably worth a little more. Assuming yours is base 3-series, the original prices were similar and the cars hold their value about the same, but at the time his car was just 2-3 years old, while yours is 5-6 years old. (I think mileage of a car is a bigger factor than age, but age counts too.) He tried like hell to get as much as he could, and I think he wound up getting 12.5-13K. And he had to run around like crazy to get that. For what it's worth.
Of course a better comparison would be with another BMW, but what the hey, we're Acura guys here.

They gave me my TSX for factory invoice, as they bought back an 04 TL from me as a lemon.TSXBMW said:
I went through Tustin Acura, but will not buy from them again.
So.....anybody else have an idea about the trade-in?
I mean, y'all shouldn't let me have the only vote.

What was wrong with your TL? I was seriously considering it when I bought my 05 TSX. I'm still wondering if I made the right choice in choosing the TSX over the TL.
Oh where do I begin :laugh:AlterZgo said:
Lets just say, what was right with it?
