Re: Let me get something straight...
Sharonaln67 I have discovered that cars are like homes it all depends on location as to what you will have to pay for them. Before you decide whether you paid too much or not check your local lot and cars.com for current used retail listings, don't rely on what is published on this form.
I check the lots in my area regularly and cars.com in a 500 mile radius and the retail value for my 2004 is between $19K and $25K. Since my car has low miles on mine I don't see where my car has deprecated much more then $5K-$6K, that's not bad.
The other things are mentioned you can't put a price on like the feeling you get when driving the car, the comments and the looks. The car has class and it definite possesses a uniqueness factor many of the other cars in it's class do not.
