Thank you very much everyone for your invaluable input.
I know the dealer will offer me only that much for my trade-in. But I saw on autotrader same year with higher mileage posted at $10,950; $9999; $8,998 for 147,000km.!
The Rodeo is really a great SUV, got it brand new, originally leased, liked it so much that I bought it after the lease period expires. That was when I was still single but now with my son a year and a half old and we're planning to have a second one, well it's time for me to move to the "Family Van" category.
I'll try to test the water and see if I can price it higher by private sell. Question: How does the PST work on private sell. As I gather, I can not charge the buyer tax for used car, and if we transfer the ownership, me as the seller will have to pay 7% PST of the Govt's book value on the car? Is that how it work.
If I can sell my SUV privately, I'll try to get the Sienna through the broker I mentioned in my previous post.
Siraquaman64 thanks for the PM; So I guess my offer to the Toyota dealer is not way off after all.
