I'd say $36K would be the right price, if that car had no issues and was CPO.. With MBB on the title? It might be worth $6K-$10K less than that. If you were certain that the vehicle didn't have any other issues, and you were going to keep it for 5-6 years, and you were getting a great deal... it might be worth it.. But, you can't be certain, you probably won't keep it that long... and that surely isn't a great deal.... The low mileage may be clouding your judgement on value... You would be better off buying a similar car with 30K miles and a CPO warranty.. The price should be in the same ballpark. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: calan (Feb 13, 2006 7:48 pm) At that kind of mileage, if money is a consideration at all for you, I'd steer clear of European and Korean makes, and most domestics as well. If style and comfort are important to you, find a good independent mechanic, and buy any >95 LS/GS 400/430 you can afford, and call it a day. After 98, Nav was an option on them, and probably half of them came with them. In terms of reliability and keepiing you comfortable at high speeds for a lot of miles, those cars are unmatched. Of course you will lose a lot of value when you sell them - but that's true of any car you mile up unless you buy beaters. |

| So, do we think the new Toyota Camry Hybrid qualifies for this discussion? | |

Please assume that your needs are: sporty, yet comfortable on the highway; 4 seats minimum; over 28 mpg, and reasonable reliability. Our discussions always focus on new cars, but shouldn't our discussions start with price, and thus include used cars, as well? I think comparos between new cars and equal-priced-but-more-expensive-when-new used cars are valuable..." This is a good topic, but no posts here for a long time. How come?

Replying to: averigejoe (Sep 25, 2006 8:33 am) In any case, since you've brought it up, I would like to throw the EOS into the arena. starts at $28k. seats 4. probably pretty sporty. should be comfy. with the 2.0T that gets over 30mpg in the Jetta, 28mpg is a reasonable expectation. And you get the added bonus of a droptop hardtop! Only part of the equation up in the air would be reliability. Alot of folks have become disenchanted with VW over the years. |

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. If you know about cars is by far the best choice for 30000.
