Besides, the best M3 is the E30...
Trade-In mid 5s, doing 6-6500 at the auction... $7500 for a NICE car isnt bad at all, just, as we know... the tranny.....

I agree 100%. The most fun I ever had on a track was driving a friend's E30 M3 at Sears Point(now Infineon) back in the early '90s.

2009 VW Routan SEL RSE, silver
Minivan
Fwd 4.0 engine
42,500 miles
Silver exterior, grey interior
Otions - all but nav. Includes heated front and middle seats, middle and rear entertainment systems, towing prep, load leveling suspension, block heater, power rear seats, power tailgate, power sliding doors, etc.
Condition notes - two small scrapes, no repaint etc. Tires will need replacing in next 10k miles. All other maintenance current.
What is either a reasonable difference or trade value for the Routan? I know, they are inexpensive Chryslers and we got a big discount at buy time.
Thanks for your help!
Depends where the scrapes are.. bumpers? No big deal. Body panels? Kinda tough to call that without seeing it.
Figuring if it's clean, just needs new shoes.. and no Navi (And I assume no Moonroof, right? If it has one add $500ish)...
$15700-16100 is where I would be, a VW dealer might be a bit higher as it's "their" product. Galves is $16,750 with the miles. I'm figuring for new tires and $3-400 to reshoot the bumpers, if it's in fact just the bumpers.
From what I know VW dealers aren't dealing mush on TDI Passats, but, again, I don't work at a VW store so your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps and let me know how ya make out.

The question now is how do I dump it? The Volvo store in Savannah has a nice E46 convertible that's a Hilton Head car, but it is NO SALE green, so no thanks.
At $6000 on trade (and Georgia, South Carolina and Florida, where we would trade) are all difference states, I'd need another $500 to break even. Assuming there's another sucker, I mean Volvo lover, who will overlook T6 transmissions on a private party, what's a good starting point? $7500? I'm thinking of throwing it on autotrader just to see if we get any bites. This is a part of the world where well used highlines (and Volvo does count here) have a big market, scary as that thought is.
"Where where the hell is Bill...?"
And I thought I told ya I had it
Cheap too...
Ask $7900... Take $7000+
Make SURE that you sell it AS-IS and fill out a bill of sale as such.
I will grant you I'll be off of the road a bit - a good three months - in the near future but for the right deal.....
I like the blue 2002 MY a bunch also. That looks sharp.

The Volvo dealer in Savannah has 2 3 series converts that I am drooling over. will take either one happily. Too bad Savannah isn't just a bit closer. the blue 2002 is calling me...

Will wait for that masked man to swoop in the "For you, fezo, we give it away.".....
I'll check when I get in... the 08 was traded at one of our other stores, I wasn't aware we had it.

What the &^$%&*^&^$^@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well, Detroit has to have SOMETHING to cheer about.
At least Arod went down swinging.
I'm looking forward to a Tigers vs. Brewers series with hope that Milwaukee takes it all.
As a long term terminal Mets fan I can't root for the Cardinals and since Milwaukee is supposed to be in the American League I can't root for then in the National League (the things that happen when you let an owner be the Commissioner - he moved the team so he wouldn't have to pay a DH.
Once again the Yankees play exactly five more games than the Mets. What do they do going into nest year? And they still have to overpay A-rod for another six years! The late 90s this ain't boys.
Nope, we're looking for her and we're gonna start after October 15th, right after all her tax clients are all done. I've already got the choices down, so I'm all set to go.

but I really liked both of those BMWs.

Last night's game was sooooo frustrating to say the least. Especially since I was at the game last Friday (& last Saturday) night. It was one if the best games I've ever witnessed. The Yankees won game 4 with their backs to the wall with such conviction.
I thought the stars had aligned for The Yankees. Due to Friday's inclement weather (I thought they were going to announce Moses & the Arc as the next batter), we only had to face Verlander (IMO, the best pitcher in baseball). Jeter ran out that grounder for an infield hit. Even Jorge was batting wonderfully.
Bottom line, if you leave 11 men stranded on base including bases loaded twice in the late innings, you aren't going to win (nor do you deserve) game 5 of the ALDS.
I'm a huge A-Rod fan & supporter. He was terrible (I've got to keep it g rated in the forum). I love watching Tex play. He is the best defensive 1st basement in baseball. I love watching him wave that bat in the air before he crushes the ball. What happened my man?
Not much we can do. Tex & A-Rod's contracts are too massive to do anything with. Swisher makes a lot of dough, but if you let him go, there's really nobody out there tO replace him with.

when you take on the starts by the giants and eagles, life down here has not been this pleasant in ages!
and you are correct, A Rod was dismal. Shell of his former steroid-fueled self.
But, look at the bright side. They only have what, 6 more years of paying him 30mill to go?

Go, Tigers!
and having the Yanks and Phils out of the playoffs is going to make for a vastly more interesting rest of the postseason. Even fans of those teams should recognize the interest in a bunch of teams that have not been relevant for a long time being in the mix.
Now just need the brewers to eliminate the Cards.

Bill, hide that 07 Solara on your lot until November 1. Then you can give it away. I'll come up and you can tell them what a favor I'm doing you by taking it off your hands.
I'll need a sweet number on the Ody, too!

With the trade on the aforementioned S80, what kind of difference numbers on these 2? I know the wife will want the newer one, since it will be her driver, but so I have some idea going in. These guys tend to be REALLY proud of their inventory, new and used, so I'm not holding much hope of a lot of movement.
If not, either of Bill's Solaras would work too, since the basic requirements are a convertible with some semblance of a backseat for our 7 year old. And NO Sebrings/200s.
Thank you again for your help with this one.
That said, it certainly didn't drive like a BMW. Or even a Solara.

$6k on Volvo, $12,500 on the BMW. BMW is in Galves for $8800 but they are bringing a bit over that if they are nice, closer to $10k.
Solara? Just over Galves IIRC.

was a company car of some sort, hence the high miles.

nice car according to my buddy; but then he's been driving a 96 Nissan hardbody base model sans air, pwr steering, or anything else, so just about any '05 would seem pretty nice...
The asking price of $6,440 strikes me as not crazy, but with those miles, I would not buy it for more than $5,500. But what do I know. That's why I ask here...
Thanks in advance,

Back in '02, '03, ... people asked for the link a lot, so I made a copy before your version disappeared.
Cheerio -m
That car was in a catastrophic wreck back in 03... Dad's girlfriend flipped it on I-4 just north of downtown Orlando. I don't think there was a single straight panel left on it. She walked away tho.
