Replying to: qwalls (Mar 25, 2006 5:15 pm) But, those are just nutso prices for cars of that age and mileage.. I've always said the only Honda purchase that makes sense... is a new Honda.. I'd look at Nissans, Mazdas, etc.. I love Honda/Acura.. I've had eight of them.. But, those prices are crazy.. and... Mathias? GM may go broke from pension payouts, but they will never run out of idiots with more money than sense...  regards, kyfdx |

Replying to: steine13 (Mar 25, 2006 10:37 am) I like the concepts of "run forever", & "good/great resale" together in the same vehicle. Then again, you probably shouldn't do anything I would do.....

Had one of these as a rental last month and it drove pretty nicely and I'll bet it costs a $1500. - $2000. less than a Camcord. Not so sure of what the EPA figures are and the long term reliability, but it was a very comfortable daily driver for the 5 days I had it...nice power to. The engine and the tranny worked very well together. One thing I don't understand. Some of the mid sized cars seem to get just as good or even better than alot of economy cars, my Sentra is a good example. The Accord & Camry both probaly do a bit better with a larger 4 banger and I'll wager that that Sebring with its 6 cylinder wasn't to far behind! The Sandman

Replying to: ed1979 (Mar 23, 2006 3:55 pm) -- Looking to buy a new Acura TSX w/ nav. I can get great prices on the car, but no dealer seems to want to give me a fair trade on my 2001 Volvo S60 2.4T. With options added, here's some trade-in values: Edmunds: 12,950 kbb: 11,715 (good condition) nada: 14,200 Volvo has 62K miles, dark blue exterior, beige interior, fairly new tires, 60K service recently done. All the standard equipment plus: headlight cleaners power moonroof power front seats heated seats wood trim leather leather steer wheel AM/FM/CASS/CD/CD changer stability control Overall, clean condition. A couple of dings and stratches, but nothing out of the norm for this age car. It cleans up nice. Dealers are only offering around 10K and don't seem to want to budge...am I being unreasonable for wanting at least 11K? Thanks!!! |

Replying to: dkuhajda (Mar 26, 2006 5:34 pm) I drove a towncar a couple years ago and thought it drove smoothly. It was very comfortable. (I've owned a few big cars previously). The deal may not be feasible. But, If I don't ask, I'll never know.

Replying to: axiomowner (Mar 26, 2006 6:06 pm) My sixty-something year old uncle has owned Cadillacs (Eldos, Sevilles, and Devilles) and recently owned a Town Car. He traded it for an F-150 Supercrew because he found the Town Car was too boring, even though he has a motorcycle in the garage to have some fun with!

Replying to: corvette (Mar 26, 2006 6:17 pm) This might be less expensive in the long run than the depriciation hit on the TC and then on the newer Town Car. I see lots of really good condition 90K mile 5 year old Town Cars. Rear wheel drive in the snow? in any case snow tires for the TC would also have helped. Have fun!!! Not to mention all the '93-'95 Oldsmobiles that were owned by Grandma and have 60K on them that are under $3,900. |
