Was my vehicle trade worth it?
I recently made some trades and wound up with a new vehicle. I'm very happy with the outcome, but am getting mixed results from others. What do you think?
I owned a 2004 VW Golg GL with 138,000 miles. Now I did pay 3k for it and put 2k more into it. The vahicle still had issues with vapor leak and random loss of acceleration. After realizing the $ needed to fix all that, I re-sold it for 3k.
I took the 3k straight to a dealership and looked around. They had a very well taken care of 1998 Honda CRV with 137,000 miles. KBB had it at 4,600. The dealership had it for sale at 5,000.
I offered the dealership 4,000 and a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon with 180,000 miles. The Tiburon had almost every problem you could imagine, from bad fuel pump to rotors so warped you couldn't hear anything while driving.
I now own a 1998 Honda CRV with 138,000 miles. There's no body damage or rust at all and the interior is clean. I can go on all day about the things I like about it but those are all in my opinion. What do you think? Worth it?
You did good, got rid of 2 pieces of S. Just watch your oil and all fluid levels diligently.
If you are happy with it, what does it matter what others think? Some people always like to brag they could have got a better deal, but that is just the way they are.
- What does P mean on a parking ticket where your vehicle type is written? As in: Vehicle GRY HOND P? I received a parking ticket and really can't afford to pay it! My friend told me I should look for typos on the ticket in order to contest it. On the ticket where the vehicle type is listed, the line reads: "Vehicle GRY HOND P". I do own a grey honda, but I was not sure what the P stood for? I tried to google but couldn't find anything - please help!
- Should I trade my 2005 honda for a 2003 acura? I own a 2005 Honda civix DX I just paid 2700 to get it repaired. Should I still trade it for a 2003 acura cl type s?
- Is it worth it to trade a 2003 Toyota Corolla almost 130k miles for a 2004+ Acura TL 90k-110k miles? This is my moms old car and she got the Honda Pilot, she gave it her old car to me as my first car, but I want to trade it for a nicer car but used Acura are expensive and every time I asked the sellers to trade my Corolla and says no. Do you think Acura owners don't like Toyota?
- Is it odd to trade in an Infiniti g35 for a vehicle like a Mazda cx-5? I drove a Mazda CX-5 for a little while and I liked it. Nice and high up, plenty of cargo capacity, and fun zippy handling that reminded me of an old Honda that I had a long time ago. While the G35 is much faster and probably corners better I still kind of preferred the handling and feel of the CX-5, and I prefer the features available in the CX-5 along with the spacious cargo capacity and the ride height. So is it odd if I were to sell my g35 and get a Mazda CX-5?
