Replying to: jeffyscott (May 06, 2008 6:38 am) 2006 6 s Sport Performance White Ext w/ Black Sport Cloth Interior 5-Speed Manual Transmission Bose 6-Disc In-Dash w/ Bose Audio System V6 - 3.0 Alloys 31,000 Miles Both KBB and NADA (I realize that these sites are often inaccurate) list $14,300 trade-in and $15,500 Private Party. Compared to retailers, I have the vehicle priced $3-4k less than any lot. I've listed the car for sale twice in the past year and I've experienced the same issue both times. From what I've seen, new vehicles fitting the same criteria are priced around $24-$25,000. My price is now hovering around the dealer trade-in value, but I'm willing to take a little cut even at that price. What am I doing wrong?

Replying to: srhnk401 (May 06, 2008 8:45 am) I only have ever bought cheap used cars, so I am not sure how folks that buy newer, higher priced, ones think...but I think perhaps I'd be looking to get at least a 25-30% discount from a comparable new one to buy a 2 year old car, which would be anywhere from $12-15K. I think the biggest problem is the manual transmission eliminates 90-95% of potential buyers. Next, with $3.70 per gallon gas, a lot of buyers are now looking for 4 cylinders. If you believe that trade in value, why not trade it in or sell to carmax?

Hey Guys, I am planning to buy the new full size sedan this march. The two vehicles that I have finally decided on in this category are Honda Accord 2009 and the new Mazda 6 2009. I have test driven both these cars and found them very similar. however I have a love for Mazda's interiors and exteriors. So I had planned to buy one soon. I have a couple of questions that still are bothering me. 1. Honda Accord is said to have no scheduled Maintenance until 100k miles. (Couldnt find that on their website but I have read blogs where people have mentioned that) 2. I have the new Mazda has transmission problems when its COLD, does anyone know about this? 3. Overall, how has your experience been with the Mazda 6. Would you recommend buying it? Thanks

I happened to notice that mazdausa.com still shows rebates available on the 2008 Mazda6. Is it really still possible to find the former version of the 6?

Replying to: jeffyscott (Mar 05, 2009 8:20 am) With this economy? I'd say it's an almost-certainty that you'll still see '08s on the new-car lots. IIRC, the local dealer still has at least a half-dozen...

Replying to: mz6greyghost (Mar 05, 2009 8:24 am) Interesting...according to dealer websites there are none at the 4 nearest dealerships to me.

Replying to: stewie2 (Mar 04, 2009 6:13 am) On Honda's web site, it says "no schedule maintenance tune up's until 100,000 miles". Maintenance is needed on the Accord, just like every other car on the market. 2. I have the new Mazda has transmission problems when its COLD, does anyone know about this? News to me, and we have put several of these 09's on the road. Here in CT we have had a pretty cold winter. BTW, it's the same tranny that is in the CX-9, which has had virtually no issues in the 2+ years it's been out.
