Replying to: calidave (Jan 03, 2006 9:19 am) But my used choices are close to $20k, so i couldn't really recommend one for a $30k comparo. But, yes, I would still exclude something so old. Basically, for me, if I'm looking at new AND used cars, and comparing, I typically wouldn't consider something more than 4 years old. I would only go older if it was really pristine and ultra-low miles. But still not THAT old. I just can't bring myself to spend $30k on something I would need to work on every weekend to keep it up to snuff. And I also wouldn't spend $30k on something I didn't plan on commuting in every day. But that's me. I know there are plenty of folks who can afford to blow $30k on a weekend-only car that doesn't pose a problem when it sits in the shop for weeks on end.

If you want to discuss the best choice for a $30,000 vehicle, there is an entire group of folks who would NEVER CONSIDER buying a used one and would only be interested in discussing NEW vehicles. Why would they want to participate in a forum discussing used or classic cars? Of course, the converse is true too. If there is considerable interest in the $30,000 threshold, there should be one forum each for new and used vehicles.

I know this isn't exaclty what you guys had in mind in this thread, but I had a price question on an 05 Accord EX-L V6. 18700 miles. Loaded (obviously). Great shape. (few scratches on the inside of the trunk, that's it). On sale at a Nissan dealer for $23000. I made an offer of $20,500 OTD, and they finally agreed, if I bought it last night. I said I needed to bring my wife back tonight, and they said OK. Is that a good price? I basically tried to figure out the trade in value. Add about 500 + tax, tag and title (1500-2000 in my area). Sounds like a good deal. But I love to 2nd guess myself. Thanks.

Replying to: jbp20 (Jan 05, 2006 5:42 am) ah, ok, i knew this was familiar. Someone had something similar over on the Real-World Trade-In values board in the last couple of days. According to Terry, even an '04 is worth $20k. rroyce10, "Real-World Trade-In Values" #29258, 2 Jan 2006 4:37 am so, like i said, something might be up with this car. Have it checked over real carefully.
