Valuation Question Need Help '15 vs. '14

[Bluehorseshoe]

Trying to put together an equitable swap with a fellow forum member.

Our two cars are identical (ZCP, 601 wheels, Executive, B&O, Vision Assist & LED lights) except for the following four differences (as noted below): Year, Mileage, Transmission and Wood Trim.

2014
5,200 miles
Black Sapphire
DCT
Anthracite trim

2015
15,500 miles
Silverstone
6SMT
Sycamore wood trim

If you were swapping one car for the other, how much more would you pay for the 2015 versus the 2014 and why?

Thoughts much appreciated.

Hey Soooma, can you elaborate please? I updated my post to include the four differences between the cars.

For me that looks like a straight swap...

The '15 car is worth more but has done 3 times the mileage and has the cheaper MT, which for me would cancel any difference. Given that there's practically no difference from a development standpoint, it comes down simply to mileage related cost and depreciation.

The 14 car has a 2nd year of depreciation, but the 15 car probably needs a service and new tyres and has the cheaper transmission, so for me the difference is more or less a wash.

It then comes down simply to money required by one or other party to actually do the swap.

I'm guessing if all options are the same, the reason for this swap would be because of the 6sp MT. I agreed with Steve. Based on your driving habit, you might reach the end of your warranty period sooner with the mileaged.

Agreed.
