#36469 of 38947 Re: About to trade - replace tires first? [squirreljam] by zoomzoomdlr Nov 03, 2008 (4:03 pm)
Replying to: squirreljam (Nov 03, 2008 1:48 pm) There are very few 6speed RSX that year showing on auciton report, the nearest to 50k miles show an average condition car bringin 11800 and an excellent car bringing 14000. As with most things auto related, you won't hardly ever get your money back. The exception in your case would be to find a dealer that isn't afraid of having the stick car in stock, and as an appraiser of cars, we certainly look differently on a car that comes in spotless with near new rubber standing tall versus one that doesn't look like it's been cleaned often with bald tires... If I were you, I'd look for a set of take-off tires and try to do some touch up myself to the scratch. Looking for bang for the buck here, like try a sharpie on the scratch...

Replying to: squirreljam (Nov 03, 2008 1:48 pm) It's not worth doing either if you're going to trade. However, if you want to take a shot at a private sale, then it's the other way around.

Replying to: volvomax (Nov 03, 2008 9:43 am) depending where 'doc is moving to in ny, the car could look like it was hit by more than some hail in a few months. one of my russian buddies at work said when he used to live in ny(nyc area), his blazer was good for MAKING parking spaces.

Replying to: volvomax (Nov 03, 2008 9:58 am) Thanks VM. Since they gave me $9,000. for my trade in, 2002 Acura RL with 94,000 miles, I went ahead and did the deal for $34,500. I thought that was a good deal for both of us.

#36475 of 38947 Another one- 2004 BMW 325xi by 28firefighter Nov 04, 2008 (7:42 am)
Sorry guys..came across another potential Taurus replacement- this seems like a good deal but just wanted some feedback...   2004 BMW 325xi 5spd Silver Exterior Black Interior 56,000 Miles Leatherette Interior H/K Sound Heated seats (so I'm assuming that means Cold Weather Pack) Xenon Headlights   I don't believe it has the sport pack. Car looks clean, has a clean carfax and has no paintwork on it. Car drives tight and frankly was a blast.   Guy is asking 14,900 for it. To me that sounds like a screaming deal but I'm just curious to see what you guys think.   This is also in the Philadelphia area.   Thanks! Replies to this message: volvomax (Nov 05, 2008 11:23 am)

Replying to: 28firefighter (Nov 04, 2008 7:42 am) Sounds good. Price is close to wholesale

Replying to: beniman (Nov 03, 2008 8:49 pm) Miles are really low, but you won't get full value for then on a trade. Figure $15,000,maybe $16,000 tops.
