    oh, my, yeah. How in the world is she getting around in such an old clunker?

    Pretty good guess on your part. That is about right, depending on how they feel about the missing moonroof.

    She likes the size. Her concern is that the transmission went out last year at 13k miles and the dealer all but told her she can expect it to it again at some point. She now commutes about 25 miles a day and is worried with it out of warranty its just a matter of time.
    I think it would be reasonable to call Ford customer service and explain the situation with the tranny grenading at 13K miles and the dealer telling her to expect the same again but on her own dime. Then I'd politely ask for an extended power train warranty.

    On the 2012 Subaru, dealer offered $11,500, Carmax was at $12,500 and person that really wanted it wasn't ready so my wife decided not to mess with cleaning it up more and the hassle of selling it and sold it to Carmax. She was happy with that. She has a new Subaru Legacy coming in a week and is now retired so no more high miles. Thanks for the help.
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,786
    Fair enough. Congrats. The miles really make it tough.

  • henrynhenryn Member Posts: 4,289
    I'm always amazed when a same brand dealer offers considerably less than Carmax. But I have seen it before, in my own experience. And when you add in that a possible sale of a new car hinges on their offer for your trade in, it becomes even more amazing.

    Only one explanation, really. Greed.

    Q-- friend has a 2006 BMW 650i coupe with 150,000K on it, fully loaded and in great shape. I told them I thought they'd really get hammered on the miles on any kind of trade or sale. San Francisco Bay Area.
  • bolucaboluca Member Posts: 32
    On the Subaru the miles really killed the price. The Subaru guaranteed trade-in with 60k miles was $16,500. Subtract the miles and it went to $10,500. We qualify for Subaru VIP which is 2% under invoice so the dealer had no room to pay too much. She is happy and is getting a 2017 Legacy. She prefers a sedan. With no commute no more high miles. We were both doing 18,000 to 20,000 miles a year. I retire next year so no more high miles for me. I plan to trade then. Now what to get.
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,786
    Well, shifty, let's be honest, he got hammered the second he decided to buy a 650i. Ouch. Looking at maybe $6k, if he's lucky.

  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,786
    I feel sorry for the schmucks who think $9k is money well spent to buy one with 150k.

    You know, in nature, there are plants and animals that bristle with enough weaponry to say "Don't Touch". There are a view cars like this, and a miled-up BMW 650 is one of them.

    I would take an old V8 miled up Audi as long as my mechanic gave it a clean bill of health (or we negotiated the price accordingly. I'm aware the maintenance costs might be high, but the purchase prices should be accordingly low. That old 4.2 V8 does sure sound good even if it doesn't pass too many gas stations.

    To close the loop on my '14 Subaru Outback Premium 6MT with 26k:
    I sold it to the dealer for $19 even, two weeks ago today... they put $23 on it... never even bothered to post pictures... and by yesterday it had sold. I would have bet money they'd have to buy it a Christmas present, which goes to show what I know.

    Magnetic grey exterior and ash interior. No damage anywhere. Maintenance is up to date and consistently on time. Nice thing about Toyota Care package. Conservatively and as objectively as possible, I would rate it in very good condition. Thanks!
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,786
    I'll call it black guts, I guess. Hmmm...oddly, these are a bit scattered. I'll lean a bit conservative and put $14k on it.

    Thanks for the number. Do you think it's scattered because of the 2014.5 vs 2014 for this model year?

    I have no idea. Manheim does not differentiate.

    The update sometimes called "2014.5" was just stuff like Entune audio upgrades, and standard back-up camera and one new exterior color, so no big deal. I don't think the auctions would notice, although the price guides might tick off a few dollars in the "add-on" column.

    With 175K miles, I think I could opt for the Korean or Chinese knockoff version costing 1/10th as much perhaps? OEM replacement parts are not a priority at that mileage.

    No such animal, unfortunately--Audi or junkyard. Unless you're talking about the bulbs and not the assembly.

    If someone backed into the A8, you could get used assemblies for about $700 each side.

    But you can buy some things aftermarket, sure.

    If the transmission or head gasket or some such goes, you just junk the car.

    As a trade, it is in the $12k zip code. I would think insurance would be around the mid $15k area.

    Not a pretty picture, that A4. MAYBE $1k, if you are lucky. With the rust, I'd personally throw $500 at it if I was the UCM.

    re: Nissan Altima -- the very low miles might create some dispute here. I'm thinking the insurance company will come in $12K--$13.5K as fair market retail. I'd ask for $14K see what happens, although that's about dealer CPO pricing---so as good as it gets.

    That's what I figured. I think I'll try unloading it privately on craigslist. They seem to be listed in the 3-5k price range locally here for similar options/condition.

    Thank Q. Yes, it's black interior. It seems your number is the same from the insurance. I think she will get an almost 16K check, so, it's about 15k + TTL (6%tax outside Philly).
