OH... what the heck, I'm bored.
 
(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.

I think you are probably $2-3,000 high for the wholesale.

I'm not surprised.
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.

Thanks Guys.
 
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.

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.

2005 Accord CPE v-6 EX Navi by gouldn

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?)

Chances are, a dealer is gonna ask Blue Book retail.
Thats what its there for.
You can always make an offer.

Accord could see $14,000, maybe a little more.

At some point, paying $5K-ish (assuming someone could buy one at the low end of your range) for a 10 y.o. 4-Runner or grand cherokee with 70K miles could make a lot of sense. Even with $4 gas. Even to buy one as a 2nd/4wd/winter/spare vehicle.
 
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.......

The aftermarket audio won't get you any extra at trade-in time. If you still have the factory components, you can probably net an easy few hundred $$$ by reinstalling them and putting the aftermarket stuff on eBay.
