i doubt it... you can find p5's pretty cheap now...
i guess it would all depend on condition and mileage

Do you expect a dealer to pay you some cash on a 03 P5 that you owe over 7k on?

Not likely, they buy them to make money. They probablycouldn't sell it for 7k.

Give the prices of P5's on boston.craigslist.com, you might get $5500-6000 or so with that many miles on it. Your best bet is to post the car at $7000 and see if anyone bites. If not, lower the price incrementally until it sells.

so do you plan to keep that 4k? if thats the case the person buying is getting ripped off. so that person is really buying the car for around what...11k? when it comes to these things you are in a losing situation. its best you take your loss and have them just take over payments.

Well I'm up in Portland Oregon, and I just picked up our yellow P5 for 9k....03 manual 37k miles. Little pricey but was worth it since P5s in the area with 90-120k mikes wereselling for ~7500-8000
