Will a dealer accept a car in bad shape for a trade on a used car?
Of course the dealer will take your beater on trade! And if you give the dealer the idea that the most important thing to you is the amount he will show you for your trade, you can bet he will show you way more than it is worth.Keep in mind, he’ll be making that money up somewhere else in the deal. That’s the way the car business works.Heck, when I sold cars, we even accepted non-running trades, sight-unseen. We’d expect the customer to give us a full and accurate description, and of course we couldn’t assign a high “actual cash value,” because if the customer didn’t think his car was worth the investment to repair, why should we?We usually offered at least $750 for a trade that could be driven onto the lot. The car might not be worth that much at auction — the minimum value for an operable car is more like $500. But there were plenty of times we’d show the customer up to $1,000 for a total junker, and take the rest out of the profit we already had built into the price of the car the dealership was selling. We wouldn’t bother fixing the trade. We’d sell it at auction the first chance we got.If you’re not trading — if you’re just trying to sell your car for cash — that’s when you’ll get what the car is really worth, which probably isn’t much. And that’s when a dealer might say no.But if you’re trading, of course the dealer is going to accept your car. His goal is to sell the cars he has on his lot, and if has to take your broken-down junker to do it, you bet he’s going to do just that. Heck, we didn’t just take cars. We took anything with an established market price and auction value. We took jet skis on trade. We took motorboats. We took horse trailers.So definitely, trade in your beater and avoid the hassle of selling it. At the very least, it’s like a $500-off coupon on the purchase of a new vehicle.
If you were Pat Riley of the Miami Heat, would you accept a trade of LeBron James for Dwight Howard? Should Orlando accept the trade?
Jonathan has a very well-supported answer, but ultimately I think the Heat would accept the trade. LeBron James is probably the best player in the NBA, but ultimately a Wade-Howard combo is probably more powerful than a Wade-LeBron combo. On offense, Wade and James overlap so much that we can be quite sure they won't both end up with the same total output as they had separately. Wade and Howard would have no overlap, with Howard only complementing Wade's skillset. Howard is scoring more prolifically than in the past (22 ppg, 28 pts per 40 minutes), and always has dominated the glass on both sides.Defensively, Wade and James are a killer combo, but Howard has the greatest defensive impact of any NBA player since he not only stops the opposing post players but also deters players driving into the paint. The inside-outside threat of the two would be very powerful.Whether Orlando accepts the trade or not is the bigger question for me. Despite the fact that LeBron is overall a better player than Howard, Howard's skillset is much harder to replace, and the team they have is built around him.Every year Bill Simmons writes a trade index column, and while LeBron has been the #1 most untradeable player over the past few years, I think the move to Miami has shifted things such that Dwight Howard is now the player whose team would be most reluctant to part with him.
Would you accept trading 50% of your intelligence for a 50% increase in your happiness?
(Doing my best Marvin the Paranoid Android impersonation from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy):A fifty percent increase in my happiness? Half again as much? Let’s see. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being skipping through the garden on a sunny spring day, throwing flower petals to my friends (yes, if I was at 10, then would mean I would actually have friends), and with one being squatting in a swamp, with no shelter, during a thunderstorm, with hungry alligators surrounding me, and salivating (the alligators are salivating, not me), then on a scale of one to ten, I would put my current happiness at a three. Three? That doesn’t sound right. Oh, I am sorry. I left out the decimal point. I would put my current happiness at about a point three - or three-tenths of one point. A fifty percent increase would bring me up to four and a half-tenths of one point. And in exchange for that increase in my happiness, my brain would be diminished to the size of half of a planet, instead of being the size of a whole planet. No, I do not think the exchange would be worth it. But thank you for your offer, worthless though it was. So few people even bother to make offers these days.
Should I accept this trade in fantasy baseball?
I have been offered the following trade in fantasy baseball: Receive: Aaron Judge Ian Desmond Andrew Miller Send: Francisco Lindor Blake Snell Eloy Jimenez I also have Corey Seager, so he could step in for Lindor. Pitching is a strength, as I have Scherzer, Gerrit Cole, and Syndergaard in addition to Snell. Outfield is also a weakness for me (my starters are Nicholas Castellanos, Jimenez, and Nomar Mazara), so Judge would help a lot. I am not sure I am getting equal value back in return however. What are your thoughts?

Would the New Orleans Pelicans accept a trade offer of LeBron James for Anthony Davis straight up?
New Orleans actually might as they seem more interested in butts in the seats and corporate marketing opportunities but the Lakers are never doing that deal.
Will Gamestop accept a trade-in 3DS without and SD card?
I'm sure they will. I mean, those [SD cards] can be replaced very easily.
Trade-In Value: Do Dealers Accept Any Car Condition?
Sure, they will likely give you something for it. A 1995 Eclipse with tons of miles and in bad condition will not be able to be sold again by the dealer. Therefore, they will likely sell it at auction. What they would probably do is estimate what it would sell for at auction, and offer you slightly less than that. Unfortunately, most of the time on a car that old, you cannot go by what kbb says unless the car is in pristine condition. Based on how you describe your vehicle, I would expect an offer of about $1,000.
