Oh well, today I could sell that thing if I had bought it at the time for almost twice what I would have paid for it new. Go figure.
Hunny you should mention that. Last time I was at the dealer, they offered more than we paid for the new one.
It stickered at a bit over $49K we bought it with all the end of year discounts for $41,000 with no trade in.
Crumpy's 2002 custom grand Caravan threw a rod last fall. It has the raised roof and a limousine interior. It is sitting at a shop in Springfield MO. New Jasper costs $6K. Car has 120K on the clock but is in perfect shape. Worth about $5K before the engine blew, nothing with the bad power plant,,,,, we gave it to the shop and he will be asking $10K for it. Minimum.
Used car prices are nuts!
