tytek Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What do you think a 3 yr old LGT wagon (unl with 5 spd) will be worth with 100k miles on the odo? Any guesses? I am hoping for around $6-$8k... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Seems under valued. id say more like 10K-12K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dplacen Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have to agree with whitetiger.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'll let you know in 2 years. Bought it in late July of 2005 and I'm at 27K miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_knoxville Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 people can spend $$ however they want, but if you're going to be putting that kind of excessive mileage on a car, buying brand new and trading in every couple years is a terrible waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 FYI, I don't intend to sell it in 3 years. I pushed my last car till almost 1/4 million miles before I got rid of it. I find the opposite just as irritating where someone buys a car and tries not to put any miles on it so they can get a higher trade in value. Why buy a car if you are afraid to drive it.

Why buy a car if you are afraid to drive it. i was suggesting pre-owned; using your situation as an example, you'll be out of factory warranty within first 9 months -- letting someone else take the depreciation hit makes more financial sense, then drive it all you want. but like i said before, people can spend their $$ how they want. if you keep it and it lasts 250K miles, then i'd say you got your money's worth.

fzanetti Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Man, at least in New England, I was looking for an used either Outback or Legacy to be a winter beater, and with 120-140K miles, people were still asking 4-5K and those didn't have any goodies on them, no heated seats, no leather, no nothing!!! heheheh I would say at least some 12K!!!

subiedude03 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 idk maybe its just me and being a noob but it seems like a wrx/sti hold value better, am i wrong? im just kinda guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 only becuse of their performance value, but now that the leggy comes with a turbo, you will see that same resell value in that too, pehaps even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with pre-owned is you never know what you get especially with a relatively new car. You have to ask yourself why the person is selling it. Odds are it's an un-ripe lemon. Plus you don't get the new car smell with a pre-owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
