Replying to: longislander1 (Jan 12, 2009 11:39 am) 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.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 13, 2009 11:18 am) 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.

Replying to: volvomax (Jan 13, 2009 10:27 am) I have been looking at Auto Trader, Edmunds, Car Max. The ones on Ebay seem to be newer. Any other sites you can think of? It sounds stupid, but I would like a cream/yellow or white car. Thanks for your time.

Replying to: volvomax (Jan 13, 2009 10:25 am) If the dealer wanted a loss like that, they would have taken the car to the sale. just to speak up in sbuhler's defense, he didn't say he would offer trade-in value, only that he wanted to know what it was to base negotiations on. Personally, I'd do the same thing. Find out trade-in, factor in profit/markup, and factor in the 0 miles factor. So we could be talking an extra $3k-$5k than if the dealer took it to auction themselves. Not to say your assumption is incorrect, vmax. The poster certainly COULD be looking to offer flat trade-in value. But we probably shouldn't assume that. Benefit of the doubt and all.

I want to trade my 2006 GTO for 09 Acura RDX I have 34.5k miles, manual transmission with brand new clutch 18" wheels, silver with red interior Car's in good condition a couple of scratches that buffing didn't take out on the right door. I owe 18k on the car, how much will I lose when I trade it in? I was hoping not more than 3k to get rid of it? No accidents but I had both my side windows replaced due to attempted theft. Thanks
