I was looking into trading in my '02 GT for a new '04 Grand Prix. But, due to the overwhelming amount of used cars out there, and the overall poor resale value of mine, I still couldn't justify it, even if I were to sell mine outright. The sticker price new was $26500 or so, and at 21000 miles last year the dealer was offering me $12000. Even taking into account the almost $4000 rebate and my GM discount, it still wouldn't have been wise. After driving the 04 for the 24hr test drive, I came to the conclusion anyways that the car is not THAT much better, at least not enough to justify going in the financial hole. Do your homework before trading up.
