    Yeb, I have to agree. 17-18K at auction for a '07 Accord SE V6?

    This brand new car was about 20K last July. I feel bad for those who buy USED. :cry:

    Kids have been beating up Volvos for many generations. :) They handle the abuse pretty well.

    We are talking about Volvos, not Duesenbergs.
    People trash Volvos and throw them away just like they do with Fords.
    Drive what makes you happy.

    My brother-in-law bought one of these with half the miles and paid 12,000 for it. I thought he got a pretty good deal because the "asking prices" were much higher.
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,733
    These are a bit tricky because they have SO MANY standalone options and most add $$. For instance, I know the Pacifica we are about to turn back in at lease end is worth about ... IIRC ... an $11k base price for the Touring model. Add AWD, DVD, moonroof, heated seats, power seats, power liftgate, etc, and its like $14k. That's very untypical of trade-in values. You'll find most will add for major things only, like moonroof and AWD.

    Just curious.....are Tacos holding up in value/are more sellable now than SUV's? (I know they always had good resale).........it sounds like it from the $$-#'s you quoted.....
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    i'm going to chime in on the side of the ford t-x. considering it has the same bones as an xc

    Please do some research before you say something like that.
    The Taurus doesn't have one single part in common w/ the XC90.
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    $12-13,000
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    All I'm gonna say is low $20's.
    These rigs are falling too fast to keep up with.
  • mcrrtmcrrt Member Posts: 93
    Thanks Volvomax!

    With gas prices being what they are though, I had hoped it's value might be a little higher ($14K-ish).

    Guess I'm stuck keeping a nice low-mileage Accord. Tragic. ;)

    The Taurus X is the old Freestyle..

    "The architecture for Taurus X originated with Volvo´s variable-size P2 platform that underpins mid-size Volvo sedans and wagons plus the XC90 CUV. Ford adapted the P2 platform (while changing the name for the evolved structure to D3) for use in a number of vehicles for Ford, Mercury and Lincoln."

  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    Ford adapted the P2 platform

    Basically, they cut all the Volvo safety bits out of it.
    No antiwhiplash seats
    No side impact protection systems(look at the IIHS side impact test)
    NO Boron Steel.

    A blueprint is just that. A design.
    Shaquille O'Neil and I are off the same blueprint.
    Obviously, we are built differently ;)
    The materials and the construction techniques make all the difference.
    If you look closely at the XC90 and the Freestyle/X as I have you can see the differences.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 265,429
    Yeah... I know..

    But, if you google Taurus X and Volvo, you'll get about 20 hits... Every review done on the Taurus X mentions the shared "architecture"..

    Okay.. carry on!! :)

    That is because journalists are lazy and ignorant.
  • corvettecorvette Member Posts: 11,270
    Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I always considered the basic frame and assorted bits the "platform." I will grant you that the Taurus X and Fivehundredstyle don't have the same standard safety features that the Volvo does.

    Looking for trade-in on the following two vehicles:

    (1) 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab Work Truck model (new body style)
    20,000 miles, 4.8L, 2WD, Tow-Package, LS package

    (2) 2006 Nissan Titan Crew Cab SE
    18,000 miles, 2WD, Big Tow Package

    Both located in Southern Louisiana.

    Thanks.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    True, but the New Beetle shares a lot with the Audi TT and they don't feel at all similar.
  • 20992099 Member Posts: 63
    Due to a change in programs and funding, the school system where I am treasurer has to sell two low mileage Scion Xb's. None of the websites including Edmunds has a used value for 2008's. Here are the details:

    2008 Scion Xb 4 door automatic. Base options (I don't think there are many options available on these)

    #1 Blue with 6,514 miles
    #2 White with 15,941 miles

    Both are in very good condition..they were used one school year to deliver mail between school districts. I am looking for a value on these so I can sell them promptly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    So how about a 2002 S2000? Also 30,000 miles. Central Jersey. Same color as this baby > :D Thanks.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    My rule of thumb is you lose 10% the minute you drive off the lot, so...

    Just guessing here, but take about 15% off the one with 6k miles, and about 20% off the one with 16k miles, as compared to new.

    I think if you can get that much you did well.

    It might help that people are shopping for small cars now due to fuel prices, but the 2.4l isn't really *that* efficient. Demand for the 1.5l models may actually be stronger.

    I'm not a pro but I doubt many of these have crossed the auction block.
  • explorerx4explorerx4 Member Posts: 20,718
    if i knew i was going to end up on my roof, yeah i would want the volvo.
    the poster was driving a minivan, so either would be a step up.
    they did not mention uber safety being a priority.
    i actually saw the freestyle stability control work in a real world situation.

    Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

    This is actually one of the most useful topics in the whole place. I'm always amazed that there is always at least one guy in the biz willing to step up to the plate in here.

    Wow, I didn't realize that I'd start such a lively discussion here. It's been a busy week so we haven't had time to think about the car much. I did look at the videos and they were impressive. :surprise: My wife is a traffic engineer so safety is her primary concern ( She's read through too many accident reports for work). I think we're both leaning towards the Volvo, but needed justification for spending the additional monies. In that regard, I'm going to be cleaning out the Minivan this weekend and list it privately. The Volvo dealer offered 4k for it so anything above that will help.

    What do think for a private sale price in Northern NJ
    '02 Windstar SE
    Dark Green w/ gray cloth seats (surprisingly clean since I pur seat covers on them first thing)
    73.5K miles
    Dual Power sliding doors
    passenger side curtain airbags
    Video
    Reverse Senors
    Tires and brakes > 50%
    Few scratches here and there, but I'm going to try and buff them out.
    Clean carfax ( saw it at the Volvo dealer, the last record is when we titled it 6 yrs ago)

    Thanks
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,733
    Just don't forget the tax benefit. So, at the dealer, that $4k is actually $4280. :)

    Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I always considered the basic frame and assorted bits the "platform." I will grant you that the Taurus X and Fivehundredstyle don't have the same standard safety features that the Volvo does.

    Thing is, they don't even share the same frames.
    If you did look at the bare chssis, you would see some substantial differences.
    Simply pit, ford can't afford to use the real XC90 chassis.
    The Taurus X would cost as much as the XC90 if they did.
    So, they watered it down.
    You can't get something for nothing.
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    Chevy @ $14,000

    Titan about the same.
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    They are going anywhere from $13-15,000 at the auctions.
    So, add a couple grand for private party sales.
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    if i knew i was going to end up on my roof, yeah i would want the volvo.

    Well, thats just it, you never know. ;)
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    FWIW, the dealer stepped up on the van.
    $4k is all the money.
    Privately, it might do $5k.
  • 20992099 Member Posts: 63
    Thanks for the responses. At least now I have something to go on. Will put them in the paper next week and post back when/if I sell them.

    Thanks!

    There another '05 XC90 that I found (2.5T) . Might go look at it tomorrow. It's a corp. Lease return. Here's the info

    '05 XC90 AWD
    Titanium Gray w/ matching int.
    33.7K miles
    3rd row
    rear sensors
    moonroof
    dvd

    Also, how much more to make it a CPO?

    Thanks
    Peeter
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    Well, the warranty only costs $1200.
    However, you can spend $2,000 easy reconditioning the car to meet CPO standards.
  • corvettecorvette Member Posts: 11,270
    I didn't realize the frames were substantially different. Makes for good marketing, though!

  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    How can you even ask that question?
    The dealer of course!

    Seriously, $6k looks to be the money for that rig.

  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    Sounds like a $4000 car if its nice.
  • volvomaxvolvomax Member Posts: 5,238
    Hard to say.
    KBB has no book value for the truck.
    A couple have gone over the block @ $29,000
    I doubt that private party would be more than a couple grand over that.
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,733
    to answer your base question, the trade-in value on that here in NJ is right around $21k. That's for a front-line-ready example. So, add a fair profit and CPO, and I personally think $24k should get it home. But of course, as Vmax said, if the dealer had to do more to get it CPO'd, then it could be stretching it.

    Thanks so much for your most prompt reply.

    I didn't know the Highlander was considered a 'truck' as it is based on the Camry platform. Wasn't it touted as the first of what is now considered 'crossover' type vehicles? It certainly rides/handles like a car and gets the mpg of a car.

    Anyway, I do appreciate your time and efforts in regards to my inquiry.
