Who was your salesperson/closer/asst mgr/whatever that dummy (JB) is calling his people now?
But you should be cool I think. If not, lemme know. Desk Mgr there is a guy I know well and a very straight shooter.
PS, SunTrust indirect can prolly beat your CU's rate if yer 720+...

Just make sure its nice and clean. As far as a dealer.. its worth what its worth, regardless of payoff
Bill
OK, So... what have we here. Big clock, has some paint from Japan, has some paint from Eastern Pennsylvania...
Hmm...
$3,500on the ACV sheet to trade-in.
$5,500"obo" (or "ono" if you're in England) for the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Grab $4800++++++

Got another question for you, our friend has a 01 Mistubishe Diamonte LS, with a roof, leather, the wheels, it has 19k on it, it's silver with grey interior, it's nice, they keep it clean. What's your thinking here.
Again thanks in advance, you guys are a super help. The next time your in Philly. give a call.
Thank you.
On the '93 Burb -
should we pay to have someone try to buff out the one long scratch on the rt quater panel (there's no dent, but it's a good scratch)?
Also, with two small (really - they're tiny) rock chips in windshield - should we replace the windshield first?
Those are the only real problems with it. I already fixed those mirrors yesterday, and they seem okay so far.
Regarding the newer burb we're looking for: We'll take 2000, 01, or even 02. We'd like the miles to be around 15K or less. How do we go about finding the used one out there that is exactly the way we want. (Like we said, we're not in a particular hurry- the '93 is humming along fine so far.....Just anxious - you know?!). As we visit lots and the various salespeople offer to try to locate it for us, do we let several be looking or is that considered rude? Is there anything else we can do on our own. (So far nothing on the net, but I'll keep looking).
Regarding 4WD or 2WD, is there a noticeable mileage difference? If not, then we'd take either (maybe even 4WD would be the plus?).
Thanks again, man!
Sorry for numerous posts. Don't know why that happened.
"Sales manager" is Aymed Sharriff (SP).
Got 5.25 % from KSCFCU.
Waiting for call that they have car.
Thanks again
On the new Burb, finding exactly what you want could take a while, so be a little flexible ... the 4x4's are super, but they will cost a little more. Depending on the vehicle "about" $3,000 more .. the good thing is, at trade time, you will see about all of it back.
Just to give you an idea -- a clean 15k 2001 LT 1/2 ton, 4x4 Burb will role through the block at "around' $32+ ... a dealer probably has it priced at $36 ... as a rule, they don't give em a way.
What exactly are you lookin for ..?
I hope this is some help ...
Terry.
Thanks again!

I didn't order the entire report yet. Probably should. If I buy the $19.99 deal, I can run as many VIN checks as I want in a 30-day period?
Sounds good! You know it's probably true what they say: If something seems too good to be true...it probably is.
Bummer!
Dick
Seen any '02 MPVs, though? The '01 doesn't have the 5 speed auto and 200 horses, so I'd definitely be looking for an '02. Thanks.

Syed Sherif! I know Syed, a GREAT guy.. consummate professional. Also a good friend of mine, please tell him Bill Weismann says Hi! You are in very good hands with him.
5.25%? No.. youre prolly not gonna beat that. SunTrust's A-Tier buy rate is like 6.25 or so.
The trick is now, finding the car. I know the guys there, and guys in South FL, and in Jersey, and in MO, and that is a hard as heck unbit to locate.. so be patient
Ya done real well!
PS.. give him a perfect survey.. Jimmy the Jerk fines his salespeople for bad ones!
Bill
In Southern IL 4WD might be nice to have too.. Where at? I went to SIU Edwardsville
Hey, I feel like bein REALLY generous today. Post that VIN, you win the free Carfax of the month. And who is the seller? Some good, some bad.
Bill
Who sells many cars on eBay
There are two possibilities on e-Bay right now. The one I already mentioned is VIN# 1GNFK16T21J285749 and the seller is matthews2002.
The second burb that appears to fit the bill (not sure if it has rear heat), is VIN# 3GNEC16T01G258379, and the seller is lyons_n_tiger. The biggest problem with this one is that it is California. I have no idea how we would get it.
This is really too nice of you! Wish there was some way to return the favor. By the way, your alma mater is right up the road. We live in Mascoutah - east of Belleville about 10 miles. Small world! (but, as they say, I wouldn't want to paint it.
Thanks a bunch, Dick

To Terry or Bill - I have no idea why my message duplicated itself and posted an hour after the first appearance. Weird!

In case this duplicates....sorry. lol
ES's with all the stuff, slider, heated seats, etc, etc.com - with 4/7/9k are doing "around" that $22/$23ish figure ...
Terry.
The miles are stiff --- and where do you live ..? Black is a winner or a loser, depending on where you live ..
Let's say you live in Chi-town .. this black miler will catch around $9,5/$10, if you live by Brunswick GA, start thinkin' $9/$9,5 ...
Good luck ...

2000 Nissan Quest GXE, 29k, with alloys, rear AC, CD and rear seat video player. It's Silver - Great cond, had minor ($500) dent repaired on door.
I'm looking to move to an Odyssey - should have bit the bullet 2 years ago. What do you think my van is worth now?
Thanks!
The Diamante's are a strange breed .. all dressed up and no place to go. If his vehicle is "jam-up" perfect, with 19k .. it might see the high $14's - maybe, just maybe .. with the right barometric pressure and the summer Solstice on it's way, it might see the ultra low $15's. Right now, 02's with 9/10k with all the stuff, are doing the ultra high 17's ...
Thanx for stopping by ...
Terry.
As long as that door repair doesn't sing like Rosie O'donnel, and it's clean -- and she hasn't eaten all over the vehicle, you should be around that $14ish figure ..

Also, just curious but what is my baby worth....he says its gonna have to go too so we can get a new truck. :-( 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo SE, 60K, Select-trac, 6-cyl, silver/gray, new tires, new brakes, new shocks, very nice and very clean.....looks like an 01.
I'm trying my best to hold him off for another six months until the new bad boy Cummins Ram comes out.
Thanks!!

Mascoutah? I know Mascoutah! I had a friend of mine in college was from there...
Know of a Megan Knoebloch? (sp?) Her family was cool as hell, they let me keep one of my cars at their place over Xmas holidays once
Bill
Bill
Where you at?
Wait.. I will assume the VT means Vermont.
So, if you havent spilled Mayple Syrup all over the insides of it, and its nice and clean...
60K smacks it a tad.
Trade it for $10K or really close to that... And go buy an X5 4.6is
Bill
Thank you
The CA burb is close to perfect except for no running boards or sunroof. The sunroof isn't a must, but it would be nice to have. And you or Terry said earlier that you don't like the after market sunroofs...so, probably not a good idea to have one put in?! Trying to decide if the shipping charges from CA would be worth it.
There are a bunch of Knobelochs in this area. They practically own all of the surrounding land. I don't know Megan, but I know a few of the tribe - and they are nice folk. If you're ever this way, drop an e-mail and we'll put an extra burger (or whatever the meat of the day is) on the grill for you. I appreciate all of your help.
One final question: Do you guys ever help locate vehicles for online folks like me? (For a fee, of course.)
Thanks again! Have a great day!
Dick
My question is that the Sequoia is obviously much more expensive on the initial purchase (exactly $8,750). To us, we feel (and can justify) the Toyota is worth about $4,000 more over the Ford through a period of 6 years and 100,000 miles. Do you think we will regain the $4,750 ($8,750 initial price difference -minus- $4,000 Toyota cost justification = $4,750 needed on resale) difference in resale after 6 years and 100,000 miles on the Toyota on a trade-in? What about on a private party resale?
With a new 2003 Ford Expedition coming out that will be significantly improved/redesigned over the 2002 version (like the 2002 Ford Explorer over the 2001 model) and the fact that the market is flooded with Ford Expeditions we are concerned that the Ford resale will be extremely difficult down the road.
Please let me know your thoughts...
Buying 2002 BMW 325i.
'98 S70 Base 47.4k miles Silver cloth - 12,995
'98 S70 GLT 42.8k miles Pewter cloth w/ Sunroof - 15,995
'99 S70 Base 35.8k Blue cloth - 17,995
'99 S70 Base 39.5k Green Lthr - 17,995
'99 S70 Base 36.1k Silver Lthr sunroof - 18,995
Doing a carfax on the 2 '98's show they've been on the dealer lot since last Oct. Not too sure about the 99's, but probably a least a month or two.
I'm sure they want to move the 2 98's, and I am particularly interested in the GLT.
I previously got a quote from here of about 2,5 to 3 as a trade on my current 740. What do you think I can get the '98's for, or should I bag those since they've been sitting so long and concentrate on the 99's.
Also, would being a repeat customer who usese their service help in negotiations.
Thanks,
Peeter
My nephew is going to put this up for sale and needs some guidelines on pricing if you could ...
'96 Range Rover 4.0 SE, white (offwhite?), 80kmi,
big-[non-permissible content removed] 20" chrome wheels and Eclipse sound system (sigh ... he's young, y'know), very clean
throughout.
He thinks he can get 24 for it but I'm thinking more like 20.
What do you think?
Thanks.
James
Thanks
Bill
Whatever the car attached to them at the auction is doing
Bill
If its really nice..
$22,500-23,000 as a trade, real Money. If you're on an 02 Expedition, be aware that the 03 is coming out soon and will be a total revamp (And is supposed to be a lot nicer)
This means:
A) Soon deals will be better on 02s, but why not see if you like the 03 better?
Bill
Nice car, right color, wrong number on odometer.
If its nice and clean.. really looks like a 20K miler.. no paintwork, $10,500-11K.
If its been painted on, cig burns..etc... Start deducting.
Hope this helps!
Bill
Mr Butler I presume
Yeah, I know her family had a lot of land there.. sheesh. I havent even heard from her in years.
Do we help people find cars? Not allowed to say here, but shoot me a mail.. I may know someone in St Louis who can help you. (You dont want me messing with Burbans.. I no know them. Jags? I know them)
Bill
First, I think the Sequoia is a lot nicer, but it is a lot more money.
So, we've driven both, right? OK. Good.
OK, will it be worth $10K more in 5 years? I doubt it. $5K more if I had to guess? At least. Look at 4Runners, A 97 4Runner Limited with 75K is worth $14K or so, and a 97 Eddie Bauer Explorer 4WD is worth in the $8Ks..
So take it from there.. but its just sooo tough to call this now.
Bill
OK, if its not Purple or Yellow or some Brown color.. and its clean... and really looks nice..
$4K
The 02 325i? Shop around, but I dont understand that theyare doing much in the way of discounts.
Bill
