San Bernardino, CA 2004 Chevy Silverado LS 4dr Crew Cab 5.3L engine RWD 70,000 miles Options HD Trailering Equipment, XM Satellite Radio, Locking Rear Differential, Front Fog Lamps, Rear Axle w/3.73 Ratio, Spare Tire Lock, Plastic Bed Liner, Hard Top Bed Cover, and a Car Alarm (factory installed & dealer activated) Condition The truck belongs to my parents, so I don't really know how to rate the condition other than to say that the interior and exterior would probably qualify as "clean", but not "excellent". The condition is likely better than most 5 year old trucks. Regularly scheduled maintenance was followed. Not sure about the condition of the tires or brakes. Other The truck was rear ended a couple of years ago. $2-3k worth of body damage. Insurance claim was filed and repairs were made. No problems since then. NADA - $12,950 for a clean trade-in Edmunds - $10,935 for a clean trade-in KBB - $11,150 for a good trade-in Getting a Carmax appraisal tomorrow Thanks in advance for your help!

Replying to: mjfloyd1 (Oct 22, 2009 1:07 pm) Again, this is a car my son is interested that was owned prior by a family friend coincidentally and is now for sale at the local Honda dealer. I myself have owned two new MDX's and am very familiar with the quirks and trouble spots (TC, Trans, engine mounts, etc). So far so good! This says to me the resale on these models still aren't too bad basing numbers off the average transactional prices from 2005 and 2006. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 14, 2009 8:16 am) I think hubby's right about them not taking the true book value of it. I'm thinking about staying with my trusty 1999 Ford Taurus even though it has 121,000 on it. In comparision, earlier this year my husband bought a 2008 Town & Country for 15,995. That has more seating, the 2nd and 3rd fold down. Also, a DVD player, a better radio, a back up camera, a warranty, and flex fuel. I'm sure worse gas mileage though.  Oh, and the mileage was only 17,000 at that time. So, the Protege price is crazy.

Hi all, especially the ex grad student, volvomax, and axeteria who have helped me out so much over the past few days: I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for your opinions and advice. Please take a look at this car and tell me what I should pay for it. This is a Mazda Protege 2003, 5 speed manual and 5 door hatchback. 123,000 miles, two owners. Seems to be in good condition. Nice thing is that Its a Mazda; not many people want to buy a Mazda. AND , its located at a dealership which mainly keeps European cars. KBB private party: 5500 $ for good condition. he asked 6900$, but will accept 5500 as he told me on the phone. Whats the REAL world price of this car and how much should I pay for it??? Thanks a lot.

Replying to: houstonrice (Oct 23, 2009 10:41 am) My gut says that seems high even for as funky as used car prices have gotten lately. Actually going to look that old deal up now and get back to you. |
