Question about trade in value

That was the dealer where I originally bought the car. Another Ford dealer wouldn't go over $27k. CarMax would only conjure up $24k!
That said, the hood + front fender + some front end plastic had been replaced due to a deer hit @ 2700 miles. All dealers knew, but only the $30k dealer didn't make a big deal out of it, so that's who I ordered my 2012 from. And as luck turns out, I ended up selling it outright at $31,500, before my 2012 arrived, & 1 year to the day from when I took original delivery.
Hope that was helpful.

It had 19" nickels, comfort, security & 401A & had been 100% garaged & driven in rain maybe 4 or 5 times. Original MSRP was $41,100.

PPS - Re. the deer hit, the car was SO new when it happened that all genuine Ford parts were used (I was told) - no aftermarket crap. In my opinion the repair was excellently done and only an expert could tell. I disclosed everything to my buyer (even showing him photos from the insurance estimate), so he was fully aware. With X-plan, and brochure coupon I paid $37,100 for the 2011 'vert originally (about $38,500 after taxes/etc) so I took about a $7000 hit altogether ($38.5k - $31.5k). Another way of looking at it would be that it cost me $7000 to drive an awesome 5.0 'vert for a almost a year. Hertz? Not exactly....

I really want this 2012 BOSS sitting at the dealership by my house. Orange and black they want 43 something. I'v had mine almost a year now. But I think I will take to big if a loss on mine for it to make sense.

2011 GT/CS,
so where do you live, cause my dealer i got my 12 GT/CS has a orange/black boss setting there that i was trying to buy back months ago but they had the ADM on it. now they are listing for $43k. located in chambersburg, PA
just curious...im sure there are lots of dealers with bosses setting on the lot...
was wondering what they would give for my car since i bought it back in Aug.

I'v made my mind to wait to see what ford does in the next couple months. Plus winters here in PA so I'll need the 4x4 soon. Maybe ford will come out with some new colors and possibly some changes I will not be able to live without.
i am familiar with that dealership. have you been to any car shows in the area over the summer? i might have seen you at some. i had my 12 gt/cs at cj pony on CAD back in august. and was at hoffman ford first of august.
