Someone else here said it best, "Used Hondas and Toyotas bring out the stupid money". Replies to this message: robbieg (Dec 03, 2008 6:40 am)

Replying to: jproc (Dec 02, 2008 2:51 pm) Why would you want to buy a 3-4 year old Civic, when a brand new one costs the same amount of money?? I believe the new Civis come with a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty... almost as good as certified.

Replying to: wayside1 (Oct 24, 2002 10:46 am) 1997 Maxima GXE:    - V6 with the 5 speed manual, cloth seats - color is Rosewood (I think that's what they call it, it's a browny maroonish color), inside is dark grey - no other options - no accidents, single owner, garaged - hood and one side have mild scratches where my kids did some damage taking their bikes out of the garage, no rust, a few parking lot dings - interior is pretty good, the seats are still in great shape, no tears or noticeabIe wear - mechanically it has been fine, engine never needed anything but oil changes, no transmission problems, no electrical problems, although I just started getting a nice crunching noise when I go around corners - brakes and tires are recent - passenger front electric window no longer works, passenger side lock detached from the door and is just hanging inside the door - 130,000 miles - western Boston suburbs   I just traded this vehicle in (the deal happened fast and I didn't think of putting it in here until after the fact!) and I am curious how well I did.   I got $1000.   Thanks!

Replying to: mikefm58 (Dec 02, 2008 5:28 pm) A bit back Terry said that most people buy cars based on what their payment is going to be. Basically, buyers would rather pay a little less per month and drive a 3 year old car.

Replying to: wayside1 (Dec 02, 2008 7:09 pm) You probably did fine as a trade-in ... but you hosed yourself BY trading it in. Those manual Maximas have a following and you probably could have seen $2500-$3K private party. Replies to this message: wayside1 (Dec 08, 2008 12:07 pm) volvomax (Dec 08, 2008 12:48 pm)
#36618 of 38843 oddball by stickguy Dec 03, 2008 (8:56 am)
2007 VW GTI. 4 door. Silver. moonroof/sat tunes package DSG tranny 18" wheel option (with summer tires, nice for a philly winter!)   only 12K miles on it. Seems pretty clean overall.   at a local new car (non-VW) dealer.   what is a realistic price on this, considering it needs tires for the winter? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 9:00 am)

Replying to: stickguy (Dec 03, 2008 8:56 am) I'd be looking for a tire/wheel combo in 17"..   You can save enough by dropping down to 17" to almost pay for aftermarket wheels...
#36620 of 38843 tires by stickguy Dec 03, 2008 (9:11 am)
if I got snows dedicated it wold be on new 17 wheels. Cost wise, I would probably just switch to a set of all season's on the existing wheels, and then figure out what to do with a set of $200/pop Contis with 12K on them.
