The engine in the EX is better than the one in the LX and DX, but all could use more power...I think I'll be missing the V6 performance in my Legend, but not the poor gas mileage. You feel the shifts a bit more in Hondas than you do in say..Toyotas.

LOL, I do kind of struggle with the concept of paying $10k for a 6 year old car that was only $17k new...but the miles are low, and it should last a long time. It's a bit easier when I take the viewpoint that it's less than 25% used up. I know how you feel about used Hondas, Mathias.

If I were in your situation, I'd buy it on the spot. Too bad it's not in South Florida, my 18 year old might need a car for the summer before he starts college in the fall and that would fit the bill nicely. We're tossing around letting him use my Sentra while I "Rent A Wreck" for the 8 or so weeks he's down here. Wonder how much a week they'd want for a small economy car anyways?
Will have to start looking around sometime near the end of May to get a feel.

My buddy with the used-car lot has a 5sp '01 LX Coupe with <60k that he'd let go for $8 or so... or a 71k 01 Accord LX for ~ the same money. In a Civic, I'll trade time for miles any day, so long as the car has been taken care of. Honda rustproofing isn't all that hot. Their engines hold up better than their bodies and chassis, IMO. -Mathias

Good point on the rust, but I haven't had a problem on the ones I've owned since new or nearly new...6 years old could be a problem, but with the low miles, maybe it didn't see much salt. Haven't had any chasis problems with the exception of the Legend. Agree that the engines are better than the bodies.
 
Can't use a coupe...the Accord is a bit more interesting, closer to my original budget.

When you can buy a used current year Ford, GM, Mopar
sedan with factory warranty and 75,000 LESS miles

... **any suggestions on how much a certified 02 Lexus ES300, 33k miles should sell for? they offered to sell me the car at $23,500 out the door including tax, tag, processing fees. I believe the car without the processing fees was offered to me around $22,500. is this a good price for this car? i have no trade-in. HELP!...**
                =======================
 
          It's black and it's in Mary type land .......
 
       The miles are waaay low and the color is good for the area ...... ~if~ the history is clean, the rubber is deep, the service is 100% and it hasn't been run thru every $2 car wash between Baltimore and Boynton Beach .... then the dealer probably dropped the super mid/tall $18's in it, maybe even the low low $19's in this bad boy if it's a winner ...
 
          So ya figure a little service here and there - $250, maybe some skins - $250, and then put a little CPO action in this lovely driver - $1,200 .. and it's probably going to hit the table at in and around the $21ish figure ......... $22,500.? .. I doubt the dealer is getting golf lessons from the David Leadbetter Golf Academy for that kind of $$ ... if it's a nice one, he's only movin' a unit .....

.. **This morning in the paper:
99 Impreza wagon 2.2l 100k 5sp $4,750
 When I got there, it was black, it looked alright, but it had a little crinkle in the right rr door.
 It had also sold, for the full asking price. Ouch.
 Since it's on-topic, I thought I'd post it.
Subies bring nutso money.

               ==========================
 
         You musta just dreamed that .... cuz' over at "news and blues", they've discovered these don't do any money and they've already found 27 different ways to change the company .... forget the guy(s) that will fly in from Albuquerque or Albany NY to buy a 100k+++ Subu, they're just a mirage ...l.o.l....

PS: 120%..?
I'm surprised it's even a discussion .. except for maybe the Mom & Pop Credit Unions, lenders have been doing 120% for yeeeears - including GMAC ..... or perhaps, this is just another consipracy theory thought out by Charlie Sheen ..l.o.l....

Toyota Solora 2000 Dealer Trade In Value & Private Party Value by oicjj
Mar 26, 2006 (9:00 am)
Reply
City/State: Chandler, AZ or Phoenix metro area
 
Yr/Make/Model: 2000 - Toyota Solara SE
 
Body Style: Coupe
 
Engine: 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder, auto trans.
 
Mileage: 88,000 miles
 
Color: Red Exterior and Ivory Interior
 
Major Options: Upgraded Alloy Wheels, Powered Moon Roof, Upgraded Premium JBL Auto System and Speakers w/CD Player & Cassette Player & AM-FM Radio w/6 or 8 Speakers, Powered Driver Seat w/lumbar controls, Powered Mirrors, Upgraded Engine w/OverDrive, Floor Mats & Trunk Mat, Powered Windows & Door Locks, Anti-Lock Brakes, Security, Side Air Bags also.
  
Condition: Interior is in Great Condition and the Exterior has a crease on the bottom front wheelwell fender on the passengers side. Paint is excellent (always garage parking at work & at home). Tires are less then one year old. The mileage is mainly Highway Milage - I do not fly so this car has been driven yearly to Minnesota along with trips to New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. So the majority of miles has been Highway, NOT this stop and go freeway milage like most cars get! This car has only had Mobile One Synthetic Oil used in it (Top of the Line Oil). Toyota Brand Brake Pads and Rotors were replaced less then a year ago. Battery is relitively new.
 
No prior damage, repaints or insurance claims have ever been done or applies to this car. I believe that if you take good care of your car it takes good care of you. This car has been an Excellent Car and I am getting a new one exactly like it - a Toyota Solara SE 2006 has been ordered for me so I need to sell or trade it. This is why I am asking for the values of this car. Thank you for your time and help.
