Default Question about a trade!!!

Should I trade in my xA for an xB? I mean, I need more room for things sometimes, and being in the back seat? Tight squeez for other people. The xB looks bigger. What should I do?

If I do trade it in for a new xB, my xA was hit early this year from the side. It's all fixed and great and looks just like it did when I first got it. Will they decline my car for a trade in if it has been hit?

who cares if the people in the back are comfortable
if you really wanted a xB you woulda bought it first.
I'm all about xAs though so I am not much help.

I heard that certain gangs were going around shooting drivers of xB's... I'd stick with the xA.



Or, were people waking up in the back packed in ice?

The value of the xA will go down. Most dealerships use a Carfax on trade-ins to see the vehicle history. See what the damage is from your insurance, and then take it to get appraised at a dealership. If all else fails, you can still see what the insurance company will give you.

eh, i think xa' are kooler looking anywayz. But if your car has been hit, i think that qualifies a Salvaged title. I'm not sure, but if it is...it'll definetly decrease your cars value.

Salvaged title only applies if the car was totaled. If it has been wrecked, you will loose some value, but if the repairs are as good or better than factory, it might not hurt too much. But, the dealer will have to tell potential buyers it has had damage. That will hurt.
