you already have the amp, so that should carry over. Only other thing to do is upgrade the speakers if you did not already. That can also make a huge difference.

The LS Suburbans are hard to find.
My friend is offering $10,750, I thought that was pretty light, but it sounds like It's not going to be easy to get anything close to this from a dealer, right?
What say the guru on my next move here? After a week, should I just lower the price to $9k and do another week or two with that? Don't want to drop it too low too soon here again because I ain't giving it away and don't need to do this yet. I will be passing the 50k milestone probably by the end of February since I have moved to a new job and a longer commute so assume I would have to lower the price a bit at that point. I'm a newbie here and not just quite sure what my next move should be here. Thoughts, opinions???
As always, thanks for the great job you do for us folk here in Edmunds! It is appreciated more than you know!!!

I hope you use your parking brake applied firmly all the time? That will protect the parking pawl in the auto trans. As it starts to fail, metal bits start to circulate in the trans. Hard hits put a huge strain on it, but the worst is if you don't use PB on steep hills and then while pulling it out of park, damages the end of the pawl.
Thanks all for any help here!!!

The reason you only have a couple clicks now, is because when they did your rear brakes, they adjusted the shoes out to better tolerances within the drums. They are suppose to self adjust when braking from a reversing move, but often don't adjust unless you brake hard from reversing.
If you do start the habit of using the PB, pull it on enough to really hold the car so you don't try to drive off with it on until you have the habit of releasing it.
Enjoy having the PB relationship with rear drums, cuz your next car will likely have rear discs and they (many brands) do not have linkage mechanisms that work as well as full-sized PBs on rear drums. Although that is exacerbated by cold temps and salted roads so in that way, you're good to go there too..
Its not like its tough to find Camrys. And it is a real basic 4-cyl car. What did that cost new? $17k-$18k? (I'm talking purchase price, not MSRP.) 45% value after 5 years is damned strong.
I looked for used ones on autotrader, craigslist, etc... and you aren't getting this car for less than $12,500.
Asking price and taking price are very different things.

I'm surprised it cost that much. Invoice was a tad over $17k and retail $20k, according to MSN. No idea what those options added, though.
$2200 a year ain't bad at all, in my opinion. Hell, if you can find a $183/mo zero down lease that you like, you should definitely get it.

Auction data don't lie though, if this car can be had at auctions for $8k can't demand that the dealers give me $10k. AutoTrader offered me $9k sight unseen and I was offended, lol, I hope to see what Carmax will give, hopefully my new accord will retain value better!
It's the SE model with power driver seat, something I would love, and the back up camera. Prefer the black cloth but it has the stone, something I could live with. They want about $1100 for leather to be put in which I am seriously considering right now as I can pick the color. We will see. I know this is a 180 degree change from wanting that BMW drop top, which is still on the lot...both of them! Bet I could get that black one for a lower price right now to!!!
So what does the car guru think here...is this doable and is their asking price a good deal?

The 2.0 and 2.5 are more proven at this point.
And that's where we're at...I am finally ready to write the check on something new. And getting a '14 model just feels right and personally, I've thought this decision to death already...I am at the point of "over thinking" and just want it done already. I just want it done so I can concentrate on my new job and work cause if I do do this, I will have to work many hours to build back up my accounts to where I am comfortable. I just want this over already!

location: Sicklerville, NJ 08081, 15 miles south of Philadelphia
2006 Nissan Murano
SUV
3.5, 6 cyl, auto, CVT
AWD
Mileage, 48020 (original)
options...Leather, moon roof, Bose sound,heated and power front driver and pass, memory seat, pedals, alloys. Almost everything but Nav and towing
Interior: extremely clean
tires and brakes, replaced 7500 miles ago
seat frame/rail replaced this summer (known defect!)
exterior, corner of passenger side rear bumper was repainted very amateurishly, but no dent. Bumper would need repainting but no repairing. Rest of exterior is very good. No other repaired damage or insurance claims.
How much can I expect them to ding me for the bumper paint? It would cost me approx $3-500 to have it done, obviously cost to dealer is lower
title: original owner, purchased when lease expired. Planning to purchase a 2013-14 Murano very soon.
So, is their price fair and would be $16.8k plus tt&l from me cash plus my car be fair for both sides? I want "fair" for us all so please let me know. Sorry there's not much time here, but with their Black Friday sale, it might be gone before I get there tomorrow but I need to know if my price thoughts are in the ball park here! Thanks again Q!

So I should temper my enthusiasm for the Fiesta ST?

IMO, yes, but then I'm a Ford boycotter from way back. I also could not believe how really really bad the seat was in a non turbo '13 Fiesta I sat in last summer. The only subC car seat that is worse is the Versa.
Sure..the seats in the turbo are bound to better, but at the end of the day, it's still a Ford.
I have a friend who has a non turbo 500. Aside from a known instrument light reflash issue, (fixed immediately) it's been without fault for 18 months. He also drives his beloved VW TDI when they salt the roads.
I know you are looking for something entirely different, but the L sure has some great ideas. I think they will do well with it also, although does quickly indicate the price of the turbo as std equipment, when you start to option it up even just a little off base.
I'd love to thrash an Abarth on a closed circuit for a couple hours...I'll bet it'd be almost as much fun as two wheels
Ok, ok...so it's gonna be hard pressed to compete with 2 wheeled adrenaline...but still tons of fun nonetheless.

This morning, I did see a Festa ST at the dealer where I was getting the 09 Escape serviced.
My mom has a Fiesta and it's amazingly good on the highway, around town not as much.
Fiesta is a 'B' sized car, not a 'C'.

Hope QB finds the new home. Cause I got a question. 2 actually. Both 2009 BMWs:
1) 328i 4 door. RWD. 40K on the clock, premium/climate, looks clean, new sneaks. Certified until 12/14. At a local used car lot. dark blue over tan
2) 128i. Black over black, premium/sport. 55K on it. at a VW dealer.
My son has gone BMW happy now. Knows he can't afford a new one, and is thinking of going this way instead of leasing something less fancy.

Wow it's kind of strange to look at some of the postings from the beginning.
I have a black 2006 volvo s80 with 85000k miles. It looks very sharp and is fun to drive but I dont need it anymore. What should I expect its value to be?
