Here's a close example .. 01 Aurora V8's, ultra clean, low milers for $25
Now, Millenia's are a super buy on the used side, Intrigues GLS is another and so is a Lincoln LS (probably the best buy on the market pound for pound) ..
The point is, there is a lot of great buys on that used side .. Time wise, that's hard to say ..

2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Color: Bright Red (not burg.) Paint is very good condition, very minor wear, shiny. Has the black bumpers and mirrors (bumpers are shiny--not felty.)
Interior: Grey cloth (minor fading on passenger side). Broken latch for glove box (have the parts). Very good condition.
Tires: Have 80K mile tires on it with about 40K left.
New radiator less than 1 year ago. (Also have done timing belt replacement maintenance. Have majority of maintenance records.)
Air conditioning runs cold.
I have taken very good care of this car. Looks much better than most I see on the road. Don't want to be snookered, but know value is limited due to age.

You should send it to Chicago, you could probably get about $2500 for it.

There's someone in or near Chicago who's been trying to sell a '55 300SC coupe (one of two made, he claims). It's been in the Chicago Tribune for months, he wants serious offers over $125k. Anyone know anything about this car?
Sorry, I know this is the wrong place for this discussion.
That should bring a buck or two .. I think, this was the one that was in the Dupont Registry a couple of months ago ..
Terry.
What will make the difference, is the condition .. if it's a nice vehicle, clean, looks towards 99, no Chicago tribune papers from 97 in the back seat, then you should be around that $4/$4,5 figure ...

So re-post if ya got missed ...!

Louisville area
sunlight silver
17k miles
auto, hole in roof, side airbags, etc....
no parking lot kisses or french fry invasions
looks like new
I have an extended warranty, should I leave this with the car or get my money back $500.00
6-speed Coupe, black/black, dual tops (clear & solid), power pass. seat, heads-up display, F45 adjustable suspension, CD-changer, 38k miles. A few minor scratches, perfect interior, 100K extended warranty with five years remaining.
Thanks in advance -

9-3 SE 5 door, 5 speed, Metallic Silver, all the options. 50,000 miles. Needs 3 new tires. Have 2 good snow tires and 2 that need to be replaced as well. A few minor wear and tear scratches and chips. Interior in great condition. May be looking at an additional $300-500 in repairs and $750 in additional mileage. Original value 31,200. I paid 13,494 in monthly payments and put about 1,800 down. The residual is 16,817. Chase has offered me the car for 15,033 plus tax less security or $15,889. I know they will only get 13,500 at auction but they won't go any lower than 15,033 because of their residual insurance.
Any thoughts? I originally wanted to buy it and re-sell so I could get a new 9-5.
4wd with a South Florida address. Excellent cheap trans, very reliable.
Looking to buy a 2000 expedition, 26k 4.6, leather, rear air, xlt just off a two year lease. asking price $21,000 at local off lease dealer
What do you think???
Also, considering BMW 3 series convertibles but they seem to not depreciate (98's and 99's with the old body style). In your opinion, are the values of older BMW's worth the numbers or do the newer models represent more value?
Thanks again for you help, this is the best forum on Edmunds..
Color ..
Miles ...
Options ....
Base, LX .....?
Area ..........?
Terry :-)
It's a GT and a Convert .. both reeeaall popular right now. It's a good color combo, and the handshaker won't hurt this one ...
So, if it's a "stand tall" vehicle all the way around -- Ya know, knee deep, needs -0- and lookin' 02 .. then the dealer probably has close to $16ish in it, with a this and a that and a Partridge in a pear tree .. So, I'm thinkin high $17's will drag it home. But, start him up at $16,5 and see what kind of dead Mullet look you can get, the miles are no help here ... l.o.l...
Thanks for the compliment ...!
Terry.
Here's the info you asked about. It is automatic. Straight base DX model--no options that you mentioned (has air conditioning, power steering, factory radio). No rust. One "ding" on left rear door less than dime size, less than 1/16" deep. Two small chips (smaller than eraser on pencil), one thin scratch on hood about an inch long, one scrape on rear near trunk. The chips and scratches went through only first layer of paint (like a chip on clear coat). These damages are very unnoticable, but are there.
Your estimate of $2500 is in line with my thoughts. Wanted to ask since the guide prices varied so much and I'm not an expert.
1998 Toyota Corolla LE
61,000 miles
Auto, beige cloth interior,A/C, PW, PL,keyless with alarm, factory power sunroof, daytime running lights, AM/FM/Cassette/CD,side airbags, new tires have about 2,000 miles on them, tinted windows.
Color is Burgundy. Other than the usual front paint chips and a couple dings, car is in great condition. No cruise control. No accidents.
I am the 2nd owner, car is located in the Atlanta area.
Oh yeah, it has the gold package....easy now, I bought it used and it came that way!
I appreciate any thoughts on asking price and what I should sell for.
Thank you!
For starters, the miles are ok., for the year. Those who know these vehicles .. know, that it's good for another 100,000+, color is ok, new sneakers, auto and all the power stuff -- no cruise ..? odd for an LE ..
If you have been reading, you know the first steps .. clean it up, make it look like a diamond, real nice 4/5 liner in the Hotlanta paper.
So, if this little puppy is nice, clean air will blow you into Charlotte, then drop it in at
$8,9 and let some engineer take it home for $7,8/$8,5 ...
Thanks for a great description ..
Terry.
You should be able to snatch that Cake with no problem.
Terry.
I would have to know some history on this "lost child" .. but, probably in and around $10 maybe a little more, maybe a little less depending on the history. 2WD ..?
Rebuild and Salvage titles are not a good thing .. Me, personally, I would rather jump out a Lear 25 without a chute. l.o.l...
Terry.
Wow, now that's a big change .. l..o..l... On the Zuki, in and around $1,5 or so, miles and handshaker, no help there. The Expedition (2WD .. right.?), you should be around $20ish. If you can trade em' for "around" $18,5ish and your vehicle, that would make for a good deal on both sides.
If you decide to go down Retail rd. on the Zuki .. maybe $3,900 in the Miami Herald ..$2,5/$3,0 and cut it from the herd. These are funny little vehicles, not a big market in FL .. try the trade route first ...
Good luck ...
Terry.
Year .?
Year .. ?
Year .... ?

Second question, do you think a price of $13,500 will get my current SI sold pretty quick? It's black, 39,000 miles, new tires, no aftermarket equipment at all, and it's in good shape with the exception of 2 small dings in the rear quarter panel.
Thank you.
You better be a Yankee boy with the triple black, lot's of miles on this puppy. Vette's are pulling big Jingle right now, but it's gotta be a "baby doll" .. no scratches on the front and rear fascia, interior has too look like it's been "hovered" in -- clean to the bone and knee deep.
Miles will flat kill ya here .. in and around $29 ..maybe, on a trade. .. sorry.
Terry.
Handshakers ....?
Terry.
Just kidding ... don't send my to my room.
Also, both of them have power windows, locks, cruise control, CD player, keyless, and power sunroof.
I think I'm having another one .. what year is yours ..? Did I miss that to ..? gheeez, maybe it's time for my pre-nap ... l.o.l....
Terry.
Both of the Civics are 2000's. Sorry...I'm going to go to my room now.
Thanks!!!
Your is a ES, a slider and from what your saying . . looks new.
Personally, I would kick the warranty .. it runs to 50k anyway and use that money on the next vehicle.
On the trade side, high $10's .. on the Retail side, $13,9 in the paper, and let some nice Secret Service guy steal it off your hands for $12,7/$13,5 ...

Here's what I can see that's wrong with it:
1. The paint job isn't very good. He mentioned the previous owner had it repainted. There is also a little hail damage on the trunklid. The cover where one of the fog lights would go is missing. One of the headlight lenses is cracked and has moisture inside.
2. The clutch is kind of stiff and engages near the top of the travel. (It's a 5 speed, not auto, which is good). Is this normal, or a sign of truoble?
3. It looks as though the battery exploded at some point. There's a bunch of rust and acid splatter under the hood, and it even looks like it got on the windshield too.
4. The power antenna is broken and does not go up and down. You can hear the motor running for a while when you start or shut off the car. Anyone know if I could replace the antenna with a fixed one and disconnect the motor?
5. The owner mentioned tha check engine light has been coming on for the past 8 months. He took it in to an independant import repair shop but they could find no problem. Any ideas?
6. Minor oil leak.
7. The rear view mirror is mounted off-center, so the sun visor on the driver's side hits it. Annoying but minor.
The good points: New tires, he said the timing belt has been replaced, drives and sounds great, good stereo, ice cold air. Even though the paint job is not that great, from 6 feet away it looks great. Dark green with tan interior, which I like.
They are moving out of state on Tuesday and he wants to get rid of it. He was asking $2900, but he told me he would take $2000. After looking at it it's not the bargain I thought it was, but still, doesn't seem bad for the price. What do you think? Screaming deal, fair price, or run away?

I am considering trading in my 1999 Nissan Maxima (SE Sedan, sports model) and I was wondering if I should trade it in or try and sell it on the open market first. Any advice would be most appreciated. The stats for the car are as follows:
1999 Nissan Maxima 4 Dr SE Limited Sedan
Miles: 24, 102
Interior: Leather with full "Gold" package (BOSE speakers etc.)
Colour: Dark Green
Driven: City of Chicago
Thanks a lot. I may keep it or sell it, the current loan has about $12,000 left on it.
Color is black,5 speed,A/C,PW,PL,keyless, alloys, not sure if it has ABS, no sunroof, black cloth interior. Has an aftermarket intake, and after market exhaust. Exhaust might only be the muffler, not sure. Also, owner says he spent $3,000 on the aftermarket stereo, which is very nice by the way, but does not matter to me. I know this does not really add any additional value to the car. I will probably sell the stereo anyways.
Car has some dings on the left rear quarter panel, and the right rear quarter panel. Also, rear bumper needs replacement because of some dings and scratches. Tail gate also has a small ding that looks like it can be repaired by dent wizard, without any paintwork.
He wants to sell quick, and has offered to me for $12,000, but I think that he will take $11,000. I have seen some for sale, which range from $16,000 to $18,000. My question is: is this really a great deal? After all, I can have the small things repaired, and still have a practically new car for a great price. Your thoughts? Car is located in Atlanta.
Don't forget, there's always a ready market for $2000 cheap transportation. Find a cheap fix for the clutch, clean up the battery mess as best you can, and you can drive it for free for the next couple years.
I say grab it.
1st one 21k price. 9k miles, blue, 4.6
2nd one 18k price. 37k miles, white,4.6
both similarly equipped, cd player, bedliner.
Where should I be on these If I decide on one?
Thanks............
88K
blue on blue cloth
auto, cassette, cruise, no power goodies
driven by the proverbial little old lady from Georgia
never been wrecked, looks pretty good for a 10 yr old van
Wholesale and retail, please?
Thanks!
