Try Carmax before going to a dealer.They usually give more for a special edition ,good condition, low mileage car.Not always,,but definitely worth a try.
Of course, "rare" doesn't necessarily equal "valuable".

I have a used 2004 Nissan Quest.Do you have all the regular problems-door rattle,steering shake etc? The reason I got a used 04 Quest was that I was getting a screaming bargain on it.

We just had to replace the AC compressor at just over $1600. It is the third major repair the car has undergone, the first two under warranty, none were recall or TSB problems. We are concerned the problems will continue and are sick of the indefinite back order time periods every time parts are needed. We are looking to find something with a better reliability record. Our first choice right now is a Subaru Outback with its 2000 cash back and 2.9% financing. Other than the mechanical problems we have really like the CX-7.
The local Subaru dealer offerd 13,000 to start and eventually got up to 16,800 at MSRP, in other words invoice on his car and ~15,000 on the CX-7. So it looks like you and him are on the same page. Thanks for taking your time to reply.

We only have 7K miles so we have not experienced any of the issues you mentioned nor any other issues. Van has been great thus far. We just miss some of the little things our Odyssey had that we took for granted. Second row windows roll down, 60/40 rear seats split, all the cubby/storage spaces and location, just things you never really appreciated until you lost it.
We too got a screamin' deal on the van. It was during Nissan's "unadvertised" rebate program, dealer sells x amount of vans, trucks, suvs and they'll get $5K for each one they sell, plus the normal rebates it came with.
The Quest has more "toys" than our '06 Odyssey EX and we overlooked the functional usage.
Based on volvomax's estimate, it'll be a $3K hit from the OTD price from a year ago and a pretty decent equity amt going into a new vehicle.
Trade it in and get either a Sienna or an Odyssey.If u dont mind a used one,Go for the used Odyssey EX-L or Sienna XLE/Limited.They are really luxurious especially the Sienna XLE Limited trim which is like a Lexus.
A new Odyssey LX right now is 23k +TTL.Around the same for the Sienna.Outright luxurious would be the Sienna XLE Limited.But first trade in the Quest as fast as you can!! :shades:
Miami FL, never left state of FL
55k miles
Dark blue ext / tan leather int - non smoker car
A few dings, some paint peeling on rear bumper
New tires at 40k, brakes checked at 45k - OK
Well maintained - we have maint receipts
$15-16,000 on a trade.
My primary question is whether or not to fix any of this prior to trade-in or should I leave it if the cost of repair may exceed any increment in trade-in value? Thanks

44k on the clock
will sell it to me for $15k.
She's had a few issues but all covered under warranty. Great condition inside and out...minor scratch on lower rear bumper. Interior pretty nice. South Florida car and she's been the only owner since new. Turn back is in the beginning of October.
What say you on this puppy? I figure I could get maybe $11k on my '06 Civic with 21.7k on the clock. Cars shows well. Thinking the S40 seats will treat my back condition better as the Civic isn't doing it and it really hurts driving the car now.
TIA for your help.

$200 for the windshield sounds sensible. The mirror doesn't sound that bad--I can't believe you'll ever see $500 back if it costs that to get it fixed. A decent used Lexus could bring $2K-ish more (?) if you sell it privately, with the windshield replaced.
TIA Volvo. I know it's alot to throw at ya but need all my ducks in a row if I decide to "just do it". Wifey thinks it's a "stupid idea" but I knew that going in...and maybe she's right. My goal is to get a "back friendly" car...period!

You are close on the Civic.
There really aren't any truly used 09's yet. The rentals aren't out.
A dealer loaner 09 S40 would probably sell @ @ $25-26k

Maybe I'd do a S40 in a few years but new, not used. Was very impressed with the Sonata though. Very smooth also up the power band and once I manipulated the power seat, it was like heaven. With the 3k rebate and possibly getting $11k to $12k for my Civic, it might make it worthwhile. But still in a holding pattern for the time being. Thanks for your help...you were pretty right on with the values you gave me. Thanks again...it's always appreciated!

Now the 60 has the traditional Volvo thrones. No idea how "ample" your girth is, but unless you are on the smaller side, I expect they wil lfit better. Pelnty of adjustment (and even better, 3 way memory so you never lose your perfect setting).
The car itself is slightly bigger than a 40, but still compact. Roomier up front, about a wash in the back seat.
Pricing is tough to predict, but a slightly used one can be had fairly cheap. Might be more than the 40, but you get the low pressure turbo, and some more goodies. Also better (per CR) reliability.
I just saw (on another discussion oard) an '09 demo (with the Volvo 5/60+ stuff), MSRP 35K, 5,000 miles, for ~22K. Nice titanium color too.

As long as you have the time to do all these test drives, couldn't hurt to at least check out an S60......or an Audi A4, or bmw 3.....do as much comparison as possible.....
