    Donating to local charity does not give him the upgraded GS. He spent the money on the upgrade, he did not throw it in the waste basket.

    Born out of necessity to provide an alternative opinion against the ever-present keyboard warriors and trolls and united with increasingly rare decency and general respect for the humans behind the keyboard at the other end.

    I guess it's good to do it sooner than later as cars depreciates with time. I wanted to trade in my 2013 mazda 3 for a WRX, but it's my 3 isnt worth alot now, so might as well just drive it to the ground

    sorry for double posting. I do somewhat agree with the other people here. Its better to get what you want than live with the regrets. Back in 2013, I wasnt too interested in speed3s or mazda3s, but then I saw how much more fun the speed 3 was to drive, so I wished I had gone back and traded in for a speed3 when the dealers had them on the lots

    But then again, ultimately, a car is a car, guess it's main job is to get us from point A to B...so meh...guess not living that regretfully haha

    To trade in, you will get very little. It's discouraging actually. But if you were to sell your car privately, you'd be able to fetch a more decent amount. For example, my niece just bought a 2013 GS, approximate market value is $11-12K. The trade-in can be as low at $6-7K. Of course, depending on condition.

    Maybe I used the wrong term, I can't keep track of all the terms these days

    But basically people who feel the need to comment on everything someone else has done as if it is all wrong


    I have no idea what LWT EleGiggle means

    whats the difference between gen3 GX and GS?

    The GX gets the rear view camera now, and maybe still on steel rims?

    I know, I thought admin fees were illegal in any car buying scenario, maybe I am wrong though.
