Replying to: bc13 (Jul 23, 2008 7:35 am) (I'll add moonroof to all for the helluva it. if it doesn't have it, subtract $500) XLT = ~$19k Eddie Bauer = ~$21k Limited = ~$23k These are trade-in values and can vary ~$500 in either direction depending on condition. Also, given the vehicle in question, it may have dropped $500 in the time it took me to type this out.  And since my magic book missed the recent XC90 by $2k, volvomax may have differing news on this. What will a dealer accept? That depends on when they purchased and what they have in it. I would say anything more than $2k over the numbers I've given is probably shooting yourself in the foot in this market.

Replying to: volvomax (Jul 23, 2008 10:14 am) Especially on this beast. I wonder what dealers here in NJ are doing about this. I mean, these guys have been married to Galves for so long, I think they are probably burying themselves in an SUV per minute without even knowing it.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jul 23, 2008 11:31 am) I was thinking they could be had for a relatively good price right now. I don't drive much so I not worried about gas just yet, but I need the space. I've seen one I'm interested in, but his asking price is a bit on the high side (like Blue Book value) alot more than I am willing to pay. Thinking he has more in it than he should.

Replying to: bc13 (Jul 23, 2008 11:42 am) Well, unfortunately, this is just the way of things right now. He may have paid the "right price" 2 weeks ago, but now is buried neck deep in it. I think this is going to be a fierce snowball effect. Because of the extremely fast decline, it will make auction prices drop even more as dealers will be afraid to buy anything. |

Hello: I think it's time to retire my old Forester and also trade in my newer Accord to get one car that can do both things. The forester is old, and I can probably figure its value out, but the Accord is an unknown to me. The Accord is cherry, I know everybody says that, but this one has seen little use, and is always garaged 2005 Accord CPE V-6 EX Automatic Silver with Black Leather Facory Navigation Options that were standard on the EX-6: Sunroof XM PW,PDL,Sunroof Dual-Zone Climate, etc 20K miles Condition = VG+->Excellent, and I say that with confidence, I mostly drove my other cars SF Bay Area (location) Bone stock except for upgraded speakers and a separate amp (tastefully done, just to solve the poor factory radio problem). Honda Extended Warranty 7years/100K It's a great car, I just need something with 4 doors, room for a big dog, and maybe a bit more engaging to drive. I'm thinking of trading it for a 06-07 Acura RDX (how are those doing?)

Replying to: volvomax (Jul 22, 2008 10:04 am) I wonder more about buying a more recent used SUV in the $25-$30K range, even if it seems like a real bargain. If or when gas prices go even higher, well......the panic trend could worsen....... |
