I used to hear radio commercials for dealerships (namely Hyundai and Kia) who offered a minimum trade-in value for used cars (usually $3,000). I don’t listen to the radio any more, and I can’t remember who offered this. I need a dealership in the Dallas/Ft Worth area who will guarantee a $3,000 minimum trade-in on an old car.

As any car afficionado knows, muscle cars have exploded in value the last 5 years. The rare-er the car, the higher it goes.

However, I have begun to see some weakness in the market in certain areas. Maybe it’s a side effect of the housing/lending crisis as Harley is feeling, or was the whole thing just a fad?

I’d like to purchase one, not for investment, but for use. I can wait a year of 2 if they may go down, but if the current slump is only temporary, I might as well buy.

The days of cloning a AAR Cuda, Z/28, or Judge and getting $100k are over. I know the rareest cars are holding value, but what about more of a daily driver? I’ve seen 69 Chargers with number matching 440’s and a few options for $25k. I’ve seen non-matching big block cars for $20k or less.

Four months ago i bought a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am for 5,600.00. I am not to happy with it. Since then the engine has been running loud, minor electrical problems. I was wondering if I were to trade it in what the trade in value would be? Like how much would would the car have deprecated?

I have a 96 mazda 626. The radiator seems to be leaking around the plastic tank. I was wondering whats the best way to fix it other than replacing it or having it repaired. Does any of those stop leak remedies work? like the ones from the part store.

scjon03 asked:


I wondering how this works. When you trade in your car, does that value = a down payment for a new car?

Trade in value = $15000
Owe= $5000

New car price = $30000
Price with Negative Equity = $35000

Does that $15000 = a down payment ? so your total finance is $20000 ??

I’m planning on getting a fixer upper this year to work on over the summer with my grandfather. He has his own garage out in LI. I’m looking for a fun easy car to rebuild, preferably an old muscle car. Also, it has to be relativley cheap and easy to find parts. Btw, I’m 13 so nothing extremely expensive and difficult to work with.

I’ve been looking at a 65′ stang, or a camaro.

What do you think?
