Will you be trading in a car?

In an effort to prepare for the rush of deliveries, we would like some feedback on what you will be doing with your current vehicles. This poll is open to everyone, but I would prefer only US reservation holders respond.

My current vehicle is leased, so I won't have a trade-in. I will not be leasing my smart, however.

Trade in.

We, like most motorheads, never trade a car in to the dealer.

We sold our Miata in the spring (priivate sale) in preparation for the Smart car buy. Money is waiting in the bank.

No trade in here. It's just another extra car.

I'm going to attempt to sell my existing car on my own, so I can get the most for it, but a trade-in is always an option.

I'll be trading (or selling?) my 06 Focus when the smart comes. I'm keeping my old Miata. I had originally planned to sell that, too, but have decided to keep it along with the smart. Anyone know where I can find a bumper sticker for the Miata that says "my other car is even smaller"?

I have sold my Prius but I still have it until my smart comes in. My friends are buying it and will wait until I am ready to give it up. Pretty cool, huh?

My plan is to keep my 1998 Winstar (only 44,000 miles), sometimes I will need a bigger car for trips to Sam's club. Plus, the money for smart is already in place. Also, another reason for the smart it to pull behind my small, old motorhome, don't want to over load it, it needs all the help it can get.

My insurance on the Neon will be dirt cheap. It'll be good back-up for snow days and stuff to keep the mileage down on my Smart.
