Assuming no past paintwork, $53k-$54k

Posting here to see how some of these went across the block...

4S4BSBNCXG3265384 is a '16 Outback 2.5 Limited with 42K, now listed as a CPO at my local Subie dealer for $26391.

5J8TB4H34FL018801 is a '15 RDX Base with AWD and 29K, now a CPO at the local Acura dealer for $23971.

5J8TB4H51FL021835 is a '15 RDX Tech with AWD and 39K, unclear whether it's CPO but the Acura dealer has it at $24795.

The Acuras are one-price, but I figure it's worth knowing if I should shop adjacent markets for better prices. I'm not in that much of a hurry, maybe even holding out for an Outback 3.6 if I can find one that's right. But while I'm here I'll ask about my current ride...

2006 Volvo V70 2.5T, 192K miles, moon roof, leather, bun-warmers... I believe those were the Premium and Climate packages back then. Black with tan interior, paint is still good with only a few shopping cart kisses, interior has wear but not tear, and some electrical gremlins so probably a fixer-upper. Tires and brakes probably 40% worn. What do I even try to get private party if I can find a Volvo or DIY enthusiast? I'm not sure a buy bid from a dealer would even hit the doc fees!

1. Last recorded event was 8/13, so I can't look back that far in the manheim data on such a popular vehicle. Current auction value is about $22k.
2. Same deal but 7/20. Auction is $20.5k.
3. Same deal. 6/21. Value ~$21k.

a 200k-mile Volvo? Take whatever you can get for it, if anything. Put it on swedespeed. Maybe someone will want to swap an R motor into it.

Mr_Shiftright

The Volvo is probably in the $3K range if you sell privately

I aint the post office nor a psychic. I'm assuming AWD and someplace that snows, which puts you at about $28k

Thanks to qbrozen and shifty for the feedback. You'll probably be hearing from me in another forum in a week or two on the results.

$44k-$45k.

private sale is going to be VERY difficult at this price point. My guess is dealers would be asking right about $50k. So I suppose you could attempt it at $48,995 and probably wind up around $47.5k taking.

something to consider: does your state have tax credit on trades? I know if I trade at $44.5k in NJ, I'd get $3115 tax credit on the new car. That matches what I could hope for on a private party sale and saves me a heap of trouble and effort in the process.

One question? Why?

tjc78

With some of the car buying habits around here, does there need to be a reason?

He's local.. just piqued my curiosity.

Chiefs71

I am not happy about it either. The vehicle’s driver (who will remain nameless but who’s name sounds like “wife”) is finding it too big for them after buying it. 

breld

Well, people can be finicky.

28firefighter

Been there.

Those are great looking trucks. I wish they would put the larger V8 in them though.

Hi. I have a 2016 Land Rover Evoque with 9500 miles on it that I will be trading. It's an HSE model with gray exterior and almond interior.

Assuming it is a 4-door, you're probably going to see offers starting at about $32k. Maybe up to $33k.

Those Land Rover Evoques are really cool vehicles, have driven many at work and hate to give the keys back! Price wise, a bit too expensive for me, but would sure love one as my d d!!

Wholesale? About $16k. But retail will run you $21k, so that's a better determination of purchase value. 

acurathrills21

Thanks qbrozen. So if AFS is offering me the option to purchase the lease for around $21k, do you think it's a bad deal?

stickguy

sounds like market value. So what you would realistically pay for the same basic car at the dealer. Though there, you can negotiate. And would likely get the CPO warranty too.

this one sounds about like your car. close on miles, right state! $20,500 asking. taking, who knows.

budget extra for gas over the Mini!

And fewer / less expensive repairs.

$9500-$10k on the auction side

I wouldn't say bad deal. It is the right amount for a car you know. Probably better than spending even $20k for the same car but with a prior owner.

Oh, stronger than I thought. I have to check out the car then.

The Mini gets an average of 25 mpg on premium gas. Do you really think the G37 will differ that much?

That wouldn't be hard to accomplish!

@corvette
@nyccarguy

My wife had an '11 AWD sedan.

Mr_Shiftright

Oh, yeah, now I remember. I know my accountant has one, too. These cars seem to hold value pretty well.

28firefighter

My BIL has a 2004 G35 Coupe with 180k miles on it. Looks and drives like brand new. He loves it and hasn't seen anything worth replacing it with.

stickguy

I drove a G37 coupe manual of that vintage when a friend bought a new one. Very fast. But I seem to recall it was a very firm shifting experience. More like a muscle car than a Miata. But it has been a while so I could be projecting!

Actually, that car reminded me a lot of a mustang GT. So driving like one would make sense.

tjc78

@graphicguy had one too at some point I believe.

jpp75

I also had a G37x, loved that car.

28firefighter

@graphicguy only had a Q50, I thought?

qbrozen

Manual RWD version won't be that bad. I used to get over 25 in my 350z. With the extra weight, I'm guessing you'd see 23 or so. Then again, if you are only pulling 25 in a mini ...

corvette

Mine seems to get in the mid 20s on the highway. About 20 in mixed driving. Way better than the Tahoe, at any rate! 

Mr_Shiftright

Yes, MPG is about gallonage relative to the previous car, not just mpg numbers on the window sticker.

henryn

Funny thing, that. (MPG) A lot of Ford F150 Ecoboost owners have complained about their truck not getting the MPG numbers portrayed on the window sticker. Mine comes close, but not quite. But I have found that it gets better mileage in stop and go driving than my Town & Country, which I did not expect. The T&C gets about 25 on the highway, but only about 15 commuting in heavy traffic. The F150 Ecoboost 2.7L gets 23 or 24 on the highway, and 17 to 19 commuting in the same heavy traffic.

Go figure.

thebean

Does the F150 have stop-start? That could contribute to better city MPG.
