In like 2018 I bought a 2014 Honda Accord Sport for $6500. 6 speed manual, fun car to drive. It had like 50k miles on it which is essentially nothing for a Honda. Carfax was clean etc. Then I had 2 kids and it was time for the Minivan. I traded in the Accord at the dealership (which I never do, but didn't have time to do a private sale). They gave me something like $9500 for it. This was in the beginning of 2025. I drove the Accord for 7 years and made $3000 somehow. And I'm sure the dealership sold it for like $12000.
Shits crazy.
Trading in is the biggest theft. Always better off selling on your own, by thousands.
Agreed, but I just had a second kid (she was about 2 months old). I also live in an apartment building with street parking. Between those things and work and life in general, holding on to a car and figuring out a private sale just wasnt in the books. It's not what I wanted to do, but it's what I had to do. It still worked out.
Was it pre-spyware? I'll pay extra for pre-spyware vehicles. I work in IT, so I value my privacy.
