shouldn't you know this before you purchase...?

i did my research, but i was just wondering what you guys thought. I figured you knew a little more than me. I paid 7500 for it. i thought it was pretty good.

that car wholesale is about 7 grand...

according to who???? i did a lot of research and nowhere could i find one for less then 9k.

looks like u got ripped off

i said "wholesale" (or you could call it trade-in value) i have the GALVES books here on my desk...

I don't know much about what the value would be, but $7,500 seems right to me

7,500-8,000 seems to be right

it is actually 7500 but you have to take off for the mileage, book says anything over 79k is "more than average" so when its all said and done, you got a pretty good deal...

What are you talking about? Who carres what your book says. Average would be 12-15 K mi a year. If you divide 92K mi by 9 years you get way bellow average

:confused

for crying out loud....this is the guide used by dealers...i happen to go to auctions and buy cars for a seller here in NY, its a side venture of mine...

Overall... not to butt in on an ongoing thread... but 10k a year is pretty damn good in the big scheme of things, and 7500 is a good price.

yes it is...

About 9-11k buying from a dealership depends on the car.... But whatever you spent... people are gonna think this car is a 30k-40k car :-) Imho. congrats on ur ride

thanks for the input guys. now all i need are some nice wheels for it. anyone got anything for under a grand?

I'm selling my 18" Ronal Teddy Bear wheels if you're interested:

Actually $7,500 is a terrific deal. you can now drive it for 4 more years at 12,000 miles a year, resell it for $5,000, and only suffer $2,500 in depreciation. $2,500 depreciation in 4 years is like nothing compared to what happens to new over 4 years.
