Replying to: tidester (Jul 20, 2008 9:56 pm) Tidester is spot-on. Consumer Reports did an in-depth study on that very issue and came to the same conclusions. But push your logic to the next step, what would the result be if the price per gallon, for premium, hits $7.00 a gallon (as some predict for next summer).   Vince.

#7 of 10 We traded it in today! by philpiv Sep 08, 2008 (8:15 pm)
Replying to: maltb (Jul 21, 2008 1:43 pm) We traded in our 2007 Mazda CX7 GTAWD today with 9500 miles on it. We were sick of the premium gas and the horrendous gas mileage. It is my wifes car and she drives around town getting 10-13 mpg. We brought it to the dealer 3 times and they claim all is normal. The Mazda was fun to drive but the mileage was just terrible.   We were able to get $20K on a trade and purchased a 2009 Chevy Malibu with the 2LT Package with the V4 6Speed (22/33mpg) for $22,700 with the GM Employee Discount. It took about 3 months and about 5 different dealerships to get the deal we wanted so we wouldn't take a total bath on the thing.   We purchased the Mazda as a Demo for $25K exactly a year ago. I don't think we made out too badly considering everything.   What do you guys think?
#8 of 10 honda prelude trade-in question by hemanthh Oct 20, 2008 (5:16 pm)
Hi all,   I have a 97 prelude, which I love dearl, but lately wear and tear has caught up and I have spent some 2k on repairs/replacements. Now, I have major body damage (hood, fender and bumper) and radiator and front brake pads need replacing. The engine is great, mileage is low(85k) and it drives great.   All the new repairs will set me back by another 2k+. Can I trade this in for a certified used honda or other car? Or is it worth spending the money and fixing this 11 year old car?   Any opinions will be truly appreciated! Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 20, 2008 5:44 pm) hemanthh (Oct 20, 2008 5:50 pm)
