Sister in law just got a 03 EB DVD 4x2 ~ 28kmiles for like <$16k
Gas prices have hurt re-sell value bad

 

It seems to me that these trucks have a crap retail price anyway. I picked it up for less than what its still worth now with 10,000 more miles put on it.

 

The whole preowned market is crap right now. And just in that market, look what GM and Ford have done to dump new ones into the market. If they are discounting $10k and selling loaded up comparables for nothing, expect to get nothing for yours. It sucks, but it's a reality.

 

I have a 98 EB 4x4 5.4 w/ 70k miles in perfect garage kept condition, and took it to a couple dealers last month trying to trade it because I'm moving back to the south and won't need a 4x4 anymore. High figure I was offered was $5500. Don't hold your breath for that $6900 KBB says its worth. The market for gas hogs is gone!

 

TYhe market for gas hogs is far from gone down here in the south, especially where the money is still prevelant. I run a big carwash, and at least 60% of the vehicles that come through are still soccer moms with gargantuan SUV's loaded with more shiat than you could ever dream possible in a car.

That being said however, the prices are somewhat depressed on a nationwide average right now. You just have to find the right buyer

And oh yeah, moving south doesn't negate the need for 4x4. We just had an ice storm last week that totaled quite a few cars on icy roads.

 

$3500-$4500

 

Just traded the wife explorer (03) for a new 05 expedition xlt sport, has most options inc leather, backing sensor, dvd, rear air/heat etc. 40000 with 0% financing, payment 550 mo. At first they said the payment would be around 700, said no way, then they said we can get it around 623-625 (explorer payment) we said "ahhhhh we'll just keep what we have, he says I'll get your keys, he comes back and says 550, SOLD, lol.

Whoa, this ****s horrible. Ima just keep it til it explodes or it wrecked, w/e one comes first

 

its a Ford, it will last you to 300K!

 

Just some basic math here, but 550 a month x 72 months still isn't quite 40K. How long did you finance it for? or even how much did you put down with your trade?

 

6 yrs 0% 40100 557 mo

or rebate loan 34000 6.9 578 mo

I chose the 1st option and saved 20 a month, of course there is the drawback that you can't pay it off early and save on interest. Soooooooooo we'll just be making the minimum.........

Well I found out what my 98 Eddie Bauer was worth yesterday. $10,700. A guy from Columbus came up Monday and looked at it for his son, and gave me a deposit. He came back yesterday with the rest of the money. I had it on auto trader since Dec 28th, so it sold in about 4 weeks. Not bad. Today I went to my wifes dealership (she works for chevy) and picked up my new car. She got the GM employee discount and they still took a little more off by dropping their dealer holdback. The only regret I have is not getting the Z51 suspension and brake package, and I can't believe they are still using that totally irritating skip shift system, which I will disable at my earliest convenience, but other than that I'm totally thrilled with the car. I'm just glad it wasn't snowing when I picked it up. It was cold but dry so I got to play with it on the way home. Well here it is. 06 C6 M6 Red/Blk.
