the ad said MSRP was $39+. Can always go look at the dealer web site. They usually show the original sticker and options.

premium and idrive?
jump on it.
They could get that much at auction unless something is wrong with it.

frankly, I don't trust carfax to tell me anything of importance. I still look the car over myself and, especially on something like this, get the service and warranty history from the dealer.
 
The only reason I ever even care about carfax is simply because it will matter when I go to sell/trade it.

Thanks to qbrozen for pulling up the auction info on my car. Autotrader's Trade-In Marketplace offered up $8,371, and the Nissan dealer where I test drove the new Altima said they had too much used inventory and weren't interested.
 
At this price range, will it become more desirable in a month or two as people begin to receive tax refunds and used cars become more scarce?

My Civic Hybrid currently has 92K miles on it. I am in the market for a new car and still researching. I am curious if I should sell or trade in before 100K. It wouldn't seem to make a difference between a car with 97K or 100K miles, but is this a magic number that instantly lowers the value of the car?

>>.. is [100k] a magic number that instantly lowers the value of the car?
 
In a word, yes.
But it's hard to put a number to it.
As a WAG, $500.

Before the experts get here with a price..
 
What does the "SE" have over regular LX?
 
Also, I'd think that would be an easy sale, privately.... sounds like a perfect commuter car...

If the SE includes a moonroof, I would have been all over it if I saw the ad on CL (and I had not just bought a cheap car and was in CInci!).
 
My non-expert opinion though is you will never see 6K real money on a trade.
