Yeppers, those MDX's do All the monies, but if you read some of the other boards, we have some folks that are paying $200/$500 *under invoice ~ and the Pope is coming over to my house for dinner tonight ..
Don't forget to let me know ...

Hey, where are you going to find a nice Yota for $8,900 .?, it's a $10,0 vehicle .. fix it up, throw some good tires on it and drive it for the next couple of years .. whats the worst thing that can happen, you sell it in 2 years for $7,9 ..
Terry.
If this pup needs to go, now is the time .. few and far between, "seems" demand is more then standing inventories, it's July .. what can I say, in another 2 months that market will dwindle by 50/75% due to weather, then you will be holding your breath til' April/May .. if you go down Retail Rd, probably $1,0/$2 grand back of the lowest dealer in the area ..
Terry.
I hope this makes sense ...

If it's deep in rubber, no AK47 holes, no re-paints, no I got in a fight with a 75 yr ol' lady at Lowes and she ran her cart into me 5 times, clean interior, looks/drives like 30k .. then trade side, in and around the low low $3's .. down Retail Rd, nice Ad, great clean-up, service is okee dokee, ~ $5,499 in the paper and cut that dude loose for $4,0/$5,0 .. that handshaker is going to kill this one ...
Terry.
You gotta read all the stuff that gets printed on these posts .. in this "Particular case", yes ..<< <<
Terry, Sorry - I didn't mean to imply that you said that KBB was the 'standard' (and I did read your reply).
I was making a statement based on my recent experience where numerous potential buyers have been quoting KBB and don't seem to care about any other source. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Obviously there will be variations from source to source. It appears that in some cases the variations are larger than others. When that occurs it is difficult to know what the market value really should be.
This makes boards like this a great source for additional information from people like yourself that can provide a real world perspective.
Thanks again.
- Kansas City area
- 26,000 miles (all mine)
- Silver
- AT, CC, PW, PL, stereo upgrade. No alloys, power seats, leather or moonroof.
- Interior/exterior good condition, all maintenance current.
My wife is driving a 2002 Camry LE, and over the weekend she suggested we sell both the Toyotas and get her something "fun" like a G35 coupe (her dream car). Personally, I would be more interested in a MDX, Pilot or Pacifica. Details on the Camry are:
- 14,000 miles
- Silver
- ABS, stereo upgrade (no CD changer), & power drivers seat are only options.
- Interior/exterior in good condition. All maintenance current.
I am inclined to sell both myself. What might I expect for both vehicles (individually)? Also, how likely would a dealer be willing to take both cars as a trade for 1? I probably know the answer to this one, but if I do trade 2 for 1, would there be any advantages or disadvantages? Thanks.

02 MPV LX/ES's, with 20/25k are doing "around" the $15/$16ish range .. I gotta think you can see one for the $18/$19 range or less in your driveway ...
Terry.
--------------------------------
I'm thinking an '01 is going to be at least $2K behind these figures what with the major upgrades they did to the MPV in '02.

being in one accident where the rear left panel was hit and replaced.
other than that in good condition
thank u.
The 5-ers seem to be coming a bit down in price across the board. Are you seeing the market soften on theese at auction?
Seller is asking for 15000, which is kind of high. Carfax is clean, second owner got it from
repossession auction.
Thank you very much!

They are selling it for $18,999. What do you think?
Thanks!
For starters, we got some Major Miles going on here .. color is good, no leather, but we have a slider, spoiler and such .. they can't much more than $16 in it, add a this and that and ~ maybe ~ $17,0 (ouch) .. it's a hi miler, no one is going to beat down their doors on this one, not when they can go down the street and buy a 10/15ker with leather and Bose for a little more .. I dunno my friend, if I were you, and I was them, $17,9ish would make that Max dissapear in a NY second ...
Terry.
Miles are good, it's an LX, good color for my boy George W., not getting any help on that 2WD, dealer might have the high $12's, low $13's in it .. a fair price on the Road of Retail would be $15ish ..
By the way, I need to get a new crystal ball .. I mixed it up with my bowling ball the other night and it kinda desinergrated, but one heck of a strike .. !
>but I am tempted to leave something out just for the fun of reading your reply<< ..
Oooh, you should be on this side when I wanna choke somebody ..
Terry ;-)
Now, if I could just sell that Accord....
>>Oooh, you should be on this side when I wanna choke somebody ..
I'd really like to see that. Perhaps a webcam and pay-per-view?
Wow, you stole that puppy .. I mean Flat stole it, I'm gonna call a cop .. it's ok, drive it for a year or so and sell it, Or - if I were you, I would have any service done, a Great detail, a Great ad and I would be dropping that dude into someone elses driveway for the $15,0 range, that's a tidy profit and go into something else ..
See, even a blind squirrel can find a nut .! - Enjoy.
Terry.
No slider, no leather, 15k, color is ho-hum .. these are doing pretty well in the market right now - trade side, the high $8's low $9's if it's clean, no road rash, no Smuckers jelly stuck to the roof ..
Terry.
MILES ...........
MILES ............???
MILES ....???????????
MILES ............?
Terry.
Terry.
Trade side, in and around the high $13's, maybe the low low $14's, it's really going to depend on who shot the Yota, was it JoeBob's Bait Tackle and Body Shop - or was it Picasso ...
are you from SF or Bama' ..?
Terry.
It's going to be a Very interesting 6/9 months for the "5" series .. the 04 is going to be here in a few weeks, it has a Grand Am grill, idrive and the barrel butt. BMW isn't doing much with the new "7" (actually it's about a $25,000 hit the first year *OUCH.!), how the new "5" does might make the current 5's keep the market steady .. I dunno, will have to see.

He also had a lot going on and didn't want to deal with selling the car. A problem I am starting to appreciate more and more as I now am working hard to sell my Accord. Man, some people just can't make up their mind...starting to drive me nutty.

Now you see what I go thru .l.o.l. the craziest thing is, when the parents bring their 16/17 yr old, just graduated from HS and the little darlin' doesn't like the color of their first vehicle - (that the parents are paying $10 large for) -- "Ooh, don't you have it in any other colors .?" - *Hey kid, you only graduated High School, not 5 years at Cornell ..

2001 BMW 530 - CPO
35K miles silver on black leather
auto, slider, xenon winkers, smarty pants, james bond auto rear sunshade, airbags all over the place, alloys with new shoes
In sunny New Orleans.
Internet dealer (haven't seen it in person) says he would "look hard" at 30,500.
Have you dealt much with the BMW CPO?
The car is red, with tan leather, heated seats, ac, cruise, am/fm, power sunroof, auto, pw, 90k miles. The exterior is great, a few chips in the hood, but otherwise perfect. The car has never been wrecked, or repainted. Proper maintenance has definately been done.
I was also wondering if the fact that I have replaced many things on the car hurts or helps or doesn't make any difference. For instance, I have replaced a window regulator, a brake caliper, the front ball joints, the clutch fan, and a plug for the radiator. Our local BMW dealer has done all of the repairs except for the window regulator and the clutch fan. I live in Springfield, Missouri if you need region for the trade in. Thank you very much!

I'm trying to help my parents trade in their 1996 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. It is dark blue with leather interior. The car looks amazing, glossy paint, shiny wheels, clean....Miles are low, 71,000. The dealership we went to over the weekend only offered $5500 as a trade in. Does this seem fair. The salesperson originally said between $5500 and $6500, but then came back with $5500 of course. He said his manager was making calls trying to get the best price for us, but that the best he got "so far" was $5500. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I have a 98 Accord EX 4 dr
Auto
Color is Heather Mist (somewhere between gold and silver)
65,000 miles
leather, power seat - all the usual EX goodies
Tires about 70%
Couple of tiny dings and some minor rim rash
In Boston
Full Honda dealer serviced as per the severe schedule
Here's the kicker - it's in the bodyshop now with an appx $5K repair almost done. When it's done it will have new:
front bumper and fascia
front supports
radiator
fan
AC condensor
exhaust
gas tank.
What do you think it was worth before hand and how bad am I going to get killed at trade in time? It's at a quality shop but a hit is a hit to a used car guy right??
