    It seems huge inside after driving the 86. Still, no navi which seems a little crazy to me on mid-level car with the bigger engine option. Having a screen on the dash that doesn't have a map to look at might make me a little crazy.

    There is a really nice gray over brown one in Bellevue. I think that may have Nav. Also $3k more expensive.

    Interesting find. Has the sport pack, and active assist too. Kind of a weird color combo.

    And B&O. That dealer tends to get a lot of interesting stuff. Agree gray over brown is a bit unusual, but I like it.

    Thanks q. A bit lower than I expected. They’re asking a little over $26k, which is about as low as I’ve seen a quattro version locally.

    About $13k or so. Figure $15.5k-$16k fair purchase.
    Had to work a bit, but got exactly that.  Pretty heavy discount on new car too so fair all around.  Thanks

    Oh I thought you were BUYING the Avalon. So you got what for it? $13k? That is really good. My trade number would have been $12.5k on the high side.

    Yes, I got $13k on trade. They started at $12k but after a couple trips back and forth we settled at $13k. They may have had a little left on the new car as I had an email quote from another dealer that was $300 less, but this was the dealer I preferred to buy from.

    in the mid 5s, so $8k is fair enough, but considering their lack of popularity on the used market, I'd probably push real hard for $7k.

    It's missing rear parking sensors, no leather seats (although I like the heated cloth)... I'd consider it as a Tahoe replacement, but it's moderately equipped rather than loaded.

    As CPO, that's actually pretty fair. I would have said $31k.

    Sometimes, we're just curious...

    Though, I have to admit, I've been seeing more of the new style Honda Ridgeline, and it's catching my eye.

    (I have no need for anything like that - we use the Outback for any truck-like duty, which is rare enough)

    Silver with black leather
    12,862 miles

    Asking just under $19k

    Thanks again

  • tifightertifighter Member Posts: 3,591
    As the former owner of a 15 SL, I wouldn't pay for a certified one. It doesn't change the battery warranty, and the cars are bulletproof otherwise. I believe the 16 SL would have the 30kwh battery, which is certainly worth more than the earlier cars, but $19k feels high for any used Leaf...we all know how they hold their value over time.

    2,200 miles. Wow! Still, not sure it is worth 19K. Consider, that's $0.42 per mile in depreciation compared to the other unit, which seems pretty steep to me.

    If I were even considering paying $30k for a used, three year old Colorado, I’d expect it to have leather seats. And maybe the diesel. Considering you can buy a well equipped new full size P/U under $40k, that’s not a good value.

    Q,

    A friend of mine got rear-ended at low speeds today and is trying to determine whether it is worthwhile to pursue a DV claim with insurance.

    2016 Acura RDX AWD with Tech and AcuraWatch
    Red over tan leather interior
    Wheel locks
    Cargo Cover
    Roof Rails

    Located in Seattle.

    Could you give me a ballpark of a pre-accident value and a post accident value? Damage looks to be fairly minor - rear bumper cover, reverse sensors, and some trim on the hatch (chrome, not painted). Wouldn't be reported to Carfax yet, but could be in the future.

    I really can't help with post-accident value. I usually deduct 10-20% personally for a carfax ding.

    That doesn't sound like a strong DV case, as you've presented it. Two problems: 1) the total damage might not justify asking $6000 in DV with a 20% claim, (presuming a pre-accident value of around $30K) the point being that a new bumper skin and some trim did not constitute a $6000 loss in value, or perhaps not ANY loss in value; 2) the idea of a future possible appearance on CARFAX doesn't really carry any weight, because it hasn't even happened.

    The best DV claims usually involved panel replacement, or a high dollar $$$ amount of damage, or welding, frame work, etc.

    No harm in trying but I wouldn't be very optimistic on this one. I write about a dozen DV claims a year so I kinda know how the wind blows. But again, I don't know all the details.

    You and I are 100% on the same page and I've explained this to my friend. I told him that if the damage is as basic as it appears on the surface, he can ask but should not expect much if anything. Now, if it turns out the whole hatch needs to be replace, one or both of the rear quarter panels, or they somehow knocked the frame, its a different story.

    Well you can tell him that that's what a professional appraiser thinks, but that he is certainly welcome to try.

    In the UK, Chubb Insurance will now underwrite DV claims--kind of a "first" in the western world.

    But in the U.S., resistance to DV is still pretty fierce. They will pay under some circumstances, but the hoops and barriers are formidable. It requires persistence and a strong case to get anywhere.

    I feel that DV claims are totally legitimate, but only when the damage is significant. And there are other variables besides dollar amount of damage--the type of car that has been damaged certainly factors into it.

    You smack into a Ferrari and do a fair amount of damage to it (not hard to rack that up), that Ferrari is damn near sale-proof with a CARFAX scar on it. A repainted Porsche? That's a hard sell, too.

    This is also why I tell people to boost their insurance on property damage. A $100K limit isn't good enough anymore.
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 32,889
     I am no expert and certainly not in insurance, but I would think the best course of action is to get it fixed first, and then shop around and get purchase quotes from dealers. Maybe with a total of three quotes that are similar and compare that to actual auction values that I can provide, then maybe there is a case. Shifty may know better on that.

    right now, auction is 27,000. But that may change by the time the repair is done.

    Could not agree more. Long ago, I raised mine to 500,000 due to the cost of cars these days and repairs.  I also have an additional million dollar umbrella policy.

    Why unreal? Electric vehicles use the roads, too. The fuel taxes for infrastructure were created when all vehicles that used the roads used the same type of fuel, and, typically, those that use more fuel put more wear and tear on the roads (more axles, heavier, etc.). So, once the paradigm shifts, it makes sense for the tax structure to shift along with it.

    No free lunches.
