Replying to: captain2 (Oct 25, 2007 10:56 am)  That is what I was going on...like I said, I was using a fully loaded Azera vs. a fully loaded Avalon. Personally, I only paid $26,081 for my Azera. At the time, deals weren't available because I bought when it first came out. Considering that fact and the fact that they were talking about it would retail for close to $30k. I'm don't feel bad for paying what I paid.

Replying to: captain2 (Oct 25, 2007 11:33 am) To be honest, I didn't feel like I took too much of a bath when I traded my '02 Sonata in for the Azera. I paid $16,800 for it and at trade in 4 years/105k miles later...I got $5K for it. Considering the mileage and the fact that it had been in a small fender bender (damage was repaired). I think I did okay!

Replying to: allmet33 (Oct 25, 2007 11:50 am) With a $17,900 (MSRP in the $19s) 1996 Accord LX (mid-level 4-cyl Auto), I think I could still get $4k by selling privately. I have 175,000 miles on it. That makes an extra $2,000 drop for 6 years and 73,000 miles of driving. A friend of mine was asking $4,000 for his 1994 with 201,000 miles. It has been in two wrecks as well; one that opened the airbags. I REALLY am not trying to open this old can of worms, just pointing out how things like resale can still make a difference. Hopefully (and I'd guess PROBABLY) your Azera will fare better.

Replying to: captain2 (Oct 25, 2007 12:06 pm) I'd be the seller, not the buyer!!! It's amazing what people will pay for an old Honda in good condition. It still delivers 27-28MPG in mixed driving, although lately I'm down to 24 MPG (my commute has added a lot more city driving). All accessories work with the exception of the Right Rear PDL, and it runs to 6,000 RPM with the smoothness of a car half its age.  I wouldn't buy it, but check the papers, I wouldn't be the only one asking this kind of money. I read in the Birmingham News where one was for sale, a 1997 LX with 161k miles. They were asking $4,695. CRAZY! But good news for me, right?
