Just plugged in my 2018 Mazda 3 with low miles:
Carvana $23,239
Shift $21,400

Both of which are more than I paid for it new, even including fees and taxes and other crap.

Read all this and got eager to see how much Carvana would offer for my '13 Golf R with 130k miles.

Four grand.

Meanwhile, they've got a '16 with 93k miles listed for $28,000.

Just irrational poo poo all over the place

This makes no sense to me. They just bought my ‘12 Abarth for $11,620, and I paid $10,500 for it earlier this summer. I’d think a Golf R would be worth more even with the mileage…

You guys are not going to make sense of wherever algorithms they use. Just like insurance rate, it's never going to be the same, it's never going to make sense.

Someone should fake some financial forms and waste his loving time. asking questions that make his (presumably) fat boomer rear end climb under the cars a bunch of times.

Dealers buy cheap and sell expensive, and the market has been climbing fast. It makes perfect sense.

A couple of years ago a dealer offered me 8 grand for a 7 year old 2-door Wrangler, while they had it's near-identical (different color) twin on the lot for 19k.

The Mote in God's Eye

$500

1998 Cadillac Seville

Car being sold as is and where is. When it was parked two years ago it was in good working condition. My husband has since died and I want the car gone. Car needs tires inflated and battery boost. Right now tires are locked and I can’t move it. Small dent (see picture) on front passenger side because tire came off and dented the bumper. Probably not hard to pop out. Anyway, fixed up it could be a great riding car again.

They offered $100 for the ‘08 Kia Spectra5 that I sold privately for $3500 in one day with zero negotiation.

Just know that if you want to get back into a similar car you will be paying more than you get out. Think long and hard if you are done done with whatever you are selling.

I recently considered selling my EP3 and even contacted Doug Demuro’s site, carsandbids, about selling it but I really can’t bring myself to do it. I’m sure I could get double or more what I paid for it since it’s such a nice example, but I really can’t pull the trigger for the reason you mention. I won’t be able to get another one as nice for a reasonable price, if at all.

Yeah. Same thing with houses. Sure you can sell your house your in now for a fat profit based on what you originally paid, but then what? Now you have to pay those same ultra-high prices to get back into a similar home.

In this case, the presumable play would be trying to get into a new Z at (hopefully) MSRP in the spring.

I have my doubts that's a reasonable expectation but it's not completely impossible... Maybe.

The other question is if a new Z is going to be a better track toy or if I should just go ahead and install an oil cooler on the RS.

yeah, this. I don’t think the market for cool/90s/diesel/anything-but-current-models is ever gonna bounce back to pre-pandemic levels; they’re just not making any more of them. I’m trying to slim down to only 2 vehicles in each of the three time zones I live in….and it’s hard

the murano is functional, an SUV, and a drop-top. the HHR is none of these things. it is merely a sin.

It's that last part that bothers me. As soon as I start loving around with oil coolers and harness bars it's going to stop being an unmodified low mileage unicorn and start being another ruined ricer, even if I do it correctly. But it's uncomfortable car to ride around town and I pretty much exclusively use it for track use at this point (which it's very, very good at besides having horrific oil overheating issues and the stock seats making wearing a helmet extremely uncomfortable) so my options are sell it while it's still worth money or ruin it with mods.

If you still want to do track days make the car what you want it to be for the track and sell it when you've wrung all the value out of it and it no longer meets your needs. If it can't ever become what you need or you determine that you're all done with track stuff now sell it unmodified.

The HHR is a Cobalt station wagon that got styled by someone with a PT Cruiser fetish. That's a hell of a lot more functional than a Murano missing two doors and its roof with a $60k sticker imo.

It would be fun to watch you ruin it with mods

If you sale it, you could prob go whole hog w/ a used formula ford (or sprint/late model/midget, whatever floats boat) on a trailer and still come up couple bucks.
