I'm looking to trade-in my 2004 Audi TT 3.2L for a 2005 Acura TSX that is Acura Certified and still has factory warranty on it. Do you think this is a fair trade if no money is transacted? The Audi's warranty expired recently and it's making noises and squeaking here and there but still drives well and is in good condition. I can see future work required on the Audi in another year or so and it will cost and arm and a leg to repair. I'd really rather have a trouble-free car for the next 4-5 years.
How likely is a dealership willing to trade a used car for another used car?
Reasons for wanting the trade-in...
Audi: 6 cyl vs. Acura: 4 cyl - save on gas
Audi: 2 doors vs. Acura: 4 doors - easier to get in out + cheaper insurance
Audi: warranty expired vs. Acura: factory warranty + Acura certified
Audi: realistically a 2-seater vs. Acura: seats 4-5 comfortably

If you can notice a problem in the Audi the Acura mechanics will notice it too.
The trade in value of your Audi is about $1000 less than the retail price of the Acura and with the pending mechanical issues, getting an even swap is not going to happen.
I can see why you want out of the Audi but expecting an even trade for a Acura TSX is high expectations. Sell the Audi and use the cash equity for a down payment.

- I still think it's possible. If anything...I wouldn't mind shelling out $1000 for the trade.

- If you can negotiate you can get that deal done. Settle on a price for the Acura and then tell them you have the trade and expect $------- for it.
