I figured with the upkeep and fine running condition with receipts for all work done; oil changes and rotations and inspection etc, the trade in would be at least 8k, dealer only offered sub 5k for it. I guess no new car for me this year.

Might look into private sale though... Funny thing I was in to getting a Honda Ridgeline a few years back, and was going to sell it to my nephew for 1 dollar so he could save on taxes, but lo and behold he wanted a top to bottom inspection of the car; like I would give him a lemon. Welp, I never got the Ridgeline, and kept the Accord; still running after all these years, lol.

BTW: are there any caveats to avoid when selling a car to family for 1 dollar? Is it true that they save on taxes or does the government f*ck you after all?
