fyi, fitzmall has another '01 T5 with 85K on it. Looks nice (blue over tan).
 
Even better, they have a 2005 Saabaru 9.2x. Black, with a 5 speed. Believe it is the non-turbo model. Only about 10K IIRC, with 65K clicks on the odo.
 
That seems like it should be a nice little auto-x rat mobile.

the s40 is a kissing cousin to the mazda 3. so i'm guessing the used values are in the same ballpark, although they were priced quite a bit apart new.

Need some real world trade in figures on this new-new Malibu, with 2500 miles. Love the car, really, but still miss the RWD and V8 of a last car...looking at used/certified 2008/2009 Pontiac G8 GT's as a potential trade.
  
Location: Southern Delaware
Year/Make/Model: 2009 Chevy Malibu 2LT V6
Body Style: 4-door sedan
Engine: 3.6L/6-speed auto with TapShift
Driveline: FWD
Mileage: 2550
Color: Summit White/Cocoa-Cashmere UltraLux suede
Major Options: HF V6 package, power sunroof, premium mats & net, rear power package & window shade
Condition: Basically a new off the lot car, with no marks or wear and still strong "new" smell all over.
 
Trade, guys, for a car that's otherwise just off the lot with 2500mi on it?

thanks, sg.
 
the volvo is a bit pricey for my taste. and no way i'd buy a non-turbo saab (or subaru, for that matter).
 
well.... hmmm... maybe a impreza 2.5RS?

Dealership has 33 used S40's???
 
It's possible that Acura had an end of year bonus for their dealers.
Maybe a unit bonus or other incentive.
It's pretty rare that a dealer will step way all over a trade well above what appears to be the market value.

Someone called? I'm the Subaru Crew founder and community leader.
 
That is a nice car, 2006 was a good year because it got some safety upgrades that boosted the side impact scores significantly from 2005.
 
It's only 2-3 years old and Subies hold their value. I was just in the Impreza threads and lease residuals for a 3 year lease were close to 60%.
 
Those were $25k or so new, and 60% of that is $15,000, right on target with Volvomax's wholesale estimate. That would be with 36k miles, though.
 
The price is fair, not low, but fair.
 
Having said that...does he really need to have a Limited? Because he can find a brand new Legacy SE (Special Edition) with most of that equipment for a little over $20k, so he may want to consider a new SE model. Those are a great value.
 
The Limited package adds leather, seat heaters, wiper de-icers, heated mirrors, and a 6CD changer. But give that up and you get a car 3 years newer for almost the same price.
 
Basically what I'm saying is that the SE package is a better value than the Limited package. But if he insists on heated leather, we love our 2009 Forester Limited.
