Replying to: erics6 (Dec 17, 2006 10:01 am) You're lucky -- I used to have no trouble selling used cars, no matter what their condition. I live in a different area now, and people here seem to look askance at buying used cars privately. I put the Sentra in the local paper, penny saver, online, local Web sites, signs on car, signs in the office, etc. for a month and got not ONE phone call except from auto sales brokers. Keep in mind this car looks brand new and is in excellent condition inside and out. It was meticulously maintained, blah blah blah. I know I wasn't asking too much -- much less than a local dealer suggested because it seemed inflated accdg to Edmunds prices (which are also inflated) -- and put obo in the ads. And I figured potential buyers would know to negotiate. It was just by chance that I started talking to the owner of a local garage (did the inspection when I transferred the plates) who offered more than a dealer would have -- not as much as I hoped but in the ballpark. Maybe because it's a 5-speed? It seems like no one around here knows how to drive them anymore -- more likely they want their hands free for cell phones.

Craigslist has turned into a joke with most of the asking prices way too high, like higher then dealers prices. And yes, sticks are hard to sell. I have 3 of them and can't imagine an automatic, but I'm in the definite minority.

Just got my SX4 Sport with A/T. I paid $ 17,600. I'm from northern New Jersey. I just love this car..my friends think it was an odd choice.. I guess it's not for everyone.. but it is for me, and that's all that matters. Why did I choose it? 1) I like the way it looked 2) Good value in my opinion 3) AWD 4) Made in Japan (I have a '97 Honda Prelude w/220k mi and runs like its only 30k) we'll see if I'm lucky enough to get such dependability with this one. You can see some pics here... Feel free to Email me if you have any questions. http://mcarrillo783.photosite.com/album1/?refcd=ea Specs: Sport with Automatic Trans Sunlight Copper Pearl Accessories: Rear deck spoiler Wing lip extention (on back order) Side molding (Wide) Chrome Exhaust Tip iPod integration** ** I can't figure out how to make the playlists work. It's supposed to have 6. I'm stuck on its default playlist which is Alphabetical By Artists. I have a 30GB Video iPod. Any advice welcomed.

After a long wait on the sport model, we finally got ours yesterday (Seattle area). Sunlight copper pearl auto. Paid $1,100 under MSRP (our dealer beat Costco pricing by $400). Added a few accessories that they will install in the next few weeks when they come in. (ipod integrator, rear bumper protector, cross roof rails and the rear deck spoiler). I originally wanted the manual for a little more pep out of the car, but I went with the auto in the end. A few reviews I'd previously read had said the auto felt a little sluggish, but it doesn't at all to me. It picks up great merging up hills on the freeway and passing etc. The keyless entry and start was all new to me, but I love this feature already. The fog lamps look awesome too. I love this car, it has so many great features for a great price and is even better then I expected it to be. Can't wait to take it up the mountains snowboarding this weekend and see how it goes in AWD. Pics here (sorry camera phone pics, not the greatest) http://donnamg.photosite.com/sx4/
