praedet Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I thought this was pretty interesting since there have been recent discussion about American car buyers...

PGT Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 this was on 60 Minutes on Sunday. here was my takeaway and personal opinion - Domestics get a bad rap for quality (some deservedly so). Until their resale value is on par with Toyota and Honda, I'm not personally going to buy one again. ----------- my own anecdotal evidence about resale: 2002 Jeep Wrangler - bought for $26k and used for 30k miles over two years. sold for $15200. 2005 Subaru Legacy GT wagon - bought for $28k and used for 34k miles over two years. sold for $20k. 2003 Subaru WRX wagon. Bought for $24k and used for 30k miles over two years. sold for $18k. 1998 Honda Accord - Bought for $25k and used for 33k miles over two years. Sold for $19500. -------- One of these things is not like the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 We rate high some places. http://www.gaywheels.com/ PGT should be happy to know he didn't step down in the eyes of the gay and lesbian community when going from a Subaru to a Mini.

BoxerGT2.5 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 nor did I step down in resale value either That's for sure. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 trade-in value of my wife's car is fully 75% even after two years of ownership. Dare I say a similar car from GM or Chrysler would be down below 50%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trax Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 this was on 60 Minutes on Sunday. 1998 Honda Accord - Bought for $25k and used for 33k miles over two years. Sold for $19500. One of these things is not like the others Best I ever did was on a Honda A-bored as well. I couldn't take the pain anymore and sold it after 1yr/13k mi. Got back about 94% of value and could have easily gotten more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I actually liked my Accord. I sold it for financial reasons - I'd started over in a new career and needed a beater for a year or two. Had the car had a 5sp instead of 4A, I might have tried to make it work however. I just knew I didn't want it longterm because of the POS transmission. old digital pics I had for the for sale ad after putting it back to stock (it had a killer stereo and suspension work on it) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/PatagonianGT/MVC-0001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trax Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Nice! Mine was much older and more boring - like maybe 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
