possible "upgrade"?
what would be a fair price? i owe slightly less than my car is worth, so im roughly even.

my car is 2004 SE, same color, roughly same miles (slightly less, but whos counting?). pristine condition with no mods that couldnt be changed to stock in roughly 30 mins.

That is exactly the car I want - you'll have to pay a lot less to upgrade in your case though. If the car checks out mechanically I'd be all over it if I were you 
x2 on swapping the lights if you get the Ei.

ya the Ei is miles better than the SE.....that one appears to be loaded with the Roof and the heated seats..its missing XM and unknown on the trunk CD changer...
the price is a little high, I paid less for a 1 year newer car and 30Kless miles

02 SSEi [loaded - XM] with 41000 mi
Suggested Retail: $16,260*
Trade-In: $11,475*
04 SE [mine] with 39000 mi
Suggested Retail: $15,840*
Trade-In: $10,325*
so theyre going to eat about 1000 on a trade-in for what they could get.
if i ask fortrade difference of 15,500 - 10000 = 5,500
plus my current loan amt: 11,500 = 17,000
17,000 is what i paid for my car a year ago, certified used. perfect payment record.
what do you guys think? and i looked at the wheels again, i do think i like the stock 02 wheels better than mine. so they can keep my wheels.
