This is a car that I'd normally be very interested in, and I live in the Phoenix area.
 
Sounds good -- hope it works out for you.

Doesn't matter what the auction price is.
If the dealer wanted a loss like that, they would have taken the car to the sale.

Volvo wagon likely will be cheaper than the Benz.
Everyone thinks their Benz wagons are worth all the money.
 
Still, I doubt you will find a good car for under a grand. You may have to spend $3-4,000 to get a good one.

Figure $12-13,000 on the Mazda.
 
Retail on the bimmer should be close to the same.

The thing to keep in mind is that most dealers will overallow on a trade rather than tell you the truth.
It's rule #1 whan dealing w/ someone who is proud of his trade.

The ONLY Porsche's that routinely have good resale are the 911's.

I'm the target buyer and I have those exact same fears.
 
I have a Miata now and I'm looking to move up (probably to a new or close-to-new Miata, but a roadster for sure).
 
I don't think I'd even consider a Boxster that wasn't under warranty for a very long time, at least 3+ years. And I'm not sure I'd own it beyond that point, either.
 
And the funny thing is my buddy owns one and I love it.
 
Still, I just have this gut feeling that ownership costs would be 4 times what they'd be for my Miata.

Thanks, volvomax. So I'm pretty much on track thinking that the Mazda + $2000 is a reasonable offer?

I know what you mean; I lust after a 993.
That said, my Mazdaspeed3 is proving to be less reliable AND more expensive to run than my 1995 3 Series.

It SHOULD be.
