Question about Trade in??

co_kids · 02-23-2008, 12:54 AM

Hey everyone i am new to this site, well i don't own any civic yet, but i am looking to get a Civic Si 4 doors.

Currently, I have a 2003 corolla. Unluckily, i got into an accident b4, i fixed it afterward. but just wondering if i can still trade in my corolla, because my car has a record now.

I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but please help me out.

you could trade it in, but it likely won't be worth as much as if the car was never in an accident. I believe they either sell it at the lot or they find used car dealers to buy the car, and they'd ask you for all that information about whether your car has ever been in an accident etc.
Good luck on the trade though, I think you'll be happy with an Si coming from a corolla. I came from a BMW and I'm still pretty happy with my new car!

Yeah you can still trade it in. If they find out about the accident then they will lower the trade in value to reflect that.

Did you buy the Corolla new? If you did you will prob lose a bunch trading it in, may want to think of selling it through the local paper.
