#8 of 10 Re: I jumped [ateixeira] by mystro Dec 06, 2006 (1:02 pm)
Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 06, 2006 11:20 am) I've always wondered just how much a car really depreciates after the initial drop.    I especially avoid making payments at this stage in my life so keeping a fairly new 03 till 60k or 5 years is getting more appealing. The GTP will offer me $12.5 or so (retail approx $15k) but I'm thinking it'll be worth $10k+ retail or so in another 2 years selling instead of trading..at least this seems to be the trend at KBB.
#9 of 10 Body Work and the GTP by aladwag Oct 04, 2007 (7:15 pm)
I had a 2004 Forester that had been scraped along the driver's side by a snow-sweeper, and I had it fixed. No driving accident, no structural damage...but when I tried to trade it in for a 2007, the dealer told me that the bodywork meant the car did NOT qualify for the GTP.   I could have produced the police report and insurance claim, but was told that I'd have been better off presenting the car with all the scrapes...it was the paint which rendered the car ineligible for the GTP.   Can anyone verify this is true? Or false? Replies to this message: paisan (Oct 04, 2007 7:39 pm)

Replying to: aladwag (Oct 04, 2007 7:15 pm) IIRC the GTP wants cars in good condition. Essentially once you have a panel painted the car is no longer in factory-sold condition and even if it isn't an accident, they would have a hard time making it a CPO car.   -mike
