S60 or TSX by robbieg

What car would you rather have/ is a better buy? Both are priced about the same. The S60 is a 2008 with 20,000 and the 2.5 turbo with auto, leather and moonroof. This car is at a dealer. The Acura is a TSX with 29000, auto and a 2007 for 20,000. I may have the year wrong on the Acura it may actually be a 2008 because isn't a 20,000 a little high. The Acura is a private party. I realize that they are different cars but I am shopping on price.

Not really a trade-in question, but TSX easily. Repairs on Volvos are pricey and frequent. Depreciation is also an issue.

2000 Maxima private party value by cheerioboy26

Hi, I own this car and am looking to sell it privately. Since I am driving 2K per month on it, would also like to know my "point of no return", mileage-wise - where the value really drops off to not being worth much. Thanks.
 
Location: Lancaster, PA
Year/Make/Model: 2000 Nissan Maxima SE
Body Style: 4d
Engine: 3.0l 6-cyl AT
Driveline: FWD
Mileage: 140,000
Color: [exterior/interior] charcoal grey / grey
Major Options: power windows/doors, CD, sunroof.
Condition:
  Interior is in pretty good shape for the age, there are some stains on one of the rear mats I am trying to get out. Exterior - lots of highway miles so front is chipped, and a number of minor dents/door dings since I park in a public garage daily :-|
  Tires - about 10K used - maybe 80% left.
  Brakes - Front will be new pads, rotors are good. Rear about 8/32 left.
  Maintenance - I have all records - regular and otherwise. Mobil1 every 5K.
Other: minor parking-lot scrape on rear bumper - bumper cover replaced a couple years ago but looks great.
 
Thanks.

I thought del was right and then I looked at Manheim. These things still go for stupid money.
I'd say $4-5000 on a trade if it looks decent.

Problem is,dealer doesn't own the car. VW finance does. VW Finance says talk to the dealer because they aren't set up to deal with the public. Volvo Finance does the same thing. It COULD be that VW would give the dealer a break on buying the car. I'm not familiar with how they operate. You can make the dealer any ofer you want,all they can do is say no.

You passed that point 40k miles ago.
 
Probably a $3000 car private party.

Not fictional at all.
 
For instance, I have 2 cars. The van gets about 9k miles per year and the roadster about 6k miles.
 
I bought the roadster at 8 years of age with only 26k miles. Sold it when it was 16 years old and just over 60k miles.
 
There are lots of people with more than one car. IIRC Autoweek had a pool and the average subscriber to that car mag owned 5.3 cars, something like that.
 
So maybe 1-2 of those 5 cars is getting high miles, but the other 3 are not.
 
The real problem with high miles is that many buyers will walk away regardless of the price, so you've narrowed down your potential buyers substantially.
 
So not only is a high mile car worth less, it sells to a far smaller audience, and usually they're bargain shopping, potentially lowering the price even more.
