There is an 06 Orange LS with zero options other than automatic up here with over 30K on the clock and they are listing it for 16 grand And yep..haven't even seen it moved in like 3 months

I usually put about 35K a year on my car.....I used Galves which will give you a truer trade in value for your vehicle in most cases than KBB or Edmunds etc.....I was totally blown away that my 05 Matrix with 62K on it was worth more than an 06 LT with 35K on it (was just doing a comparison if I had bought an HHR and was gonna trade) I think the trade on the Matrix was 8500 and on a one year old HHR it was something like 7600 I almost fell over..the # was quite a bit less than what KBB listed.....

Crafty...maybe you know..is Galves a more realistic number that dealers value their trade ins by? I'm sure a dealer can assign any number to a trade but just wondered if the Galves was an industry standard.

I had one dealer offer me 10k on the trade and another 8300 so there is a pretty wide range I guess

Enjoy the new ride!

 

Its sickening that that there are so many idiot Americans that believe the Japanese propaganda bull$&!t. Any American that believes in it should be truley ashamed.

 

Why the hate?

 

It's sickening that there are so many idiot Americans that say things like this without ever having driven a late model Japanese product.

And for the record, I never said I bought the Civic for any foreign manufacturer reasons.

 

 

Because its people like these that are working toward turning this country into the United States of Japan or China take your pick because as our trade gaps keep widening this is where our country is headed and its very sad to me. I'm not just picking on Toyota because again thanks to people who believe that their products are sooooo superior to our own. That there are so many Toyota products built in the States that people truly believe that they are doing America some sort of favor by buying a Toyota while much of the profits are headed direct to Japan rather than real American companies who are forced to build many of their cars out of the country because of costs. All because people THINK that forgein products are so great.

 

I say go drive a civic, a corolla, a focus, and a cobalt and tell me which you would choose if all 4 were made by the same company. I have a 2001 Focus and that's only because it could be had with 0% Financing.

 

Does anyone know where I can get a bumper sticker thats says "I'd rather push my domestic product that drive a forigen one"

 

Intelligent people can agree to disagree.
