like how one of the dealers here in vic wanted to trade my mate an evo 8 for his fn2r, direct swap, cos the evo didnt have any interest

Yup! Used that as an advantage as well saying the sedan will generate much more interest from the "General Public" lol.. Best thing was, because the dealer is located like 70k's away, I called him and said I wanted to trade in, he said, give him a description of my car, he'll get a quote and tell me if I should come down just in case so I don't waste my time.. He heard me say I had 13k mileage on my car.. then when I got there he noticed it was 30k lol... Still took the deal anyways!~ :P

What really matters is that you're happy with the car now and enjoying it as it is.

There will also be a slightly better deal somewhere in NSW. Plus if you were to buy one privately, you will have to go through the mess of either selling your fd 1st or have enough cashflow to support two cars temporarily while you sell the fd. And you can't guarantee you'll sell your fd for a good price and that may negate the savings from buying a cheaper fn2r to begin with.

So being a direct swap, I think you've got an easy deal.
