The market is still 70% of what it was in 06. Unlike houses though the bounce back is quicker.

Went to Boston's Best Auto in JP today to look at a Camry...was told it has 139,000 miles, but it had 151K.
"Oh, that one you saw on CL is at my lot in Revere."
Humored the guy by test driving a 1998 Ford Contour...108K miles for only $2,300. At this place, a test drive entails going around the block one time while the sales guy holds your license. Yeah, great salesmanship. Pass.

What'd you expect in JP. Just be glad you made it out of there alive.

Yeah, I had low expectations for a place right by the Forest Hills T stop...but not because of safety. Hell, I've hosted trivia at Doyle's a couple of times.

Yeah, Doyle's is a notorious bucket o' blood. Might get hit with a sharp pair of skinny jeans.

Went to Framingham and got a 1996 Corolla today! Only 118K miles, and only cost me $3,740!

Isn't that a lot of $ for a 15 year-old car (with a buck and change to boot)?

sooo... it was $500 more than blue book because they threw in a bluetooth for you to call your trivia host location when the car inevitably breaks down?

Porked? In 2005, I bought a Corolla for $6,300 that had only 90,000 miles, and drove it for 5 1/2 years. I'll have this thing for five years as well. It's a great buy. Not much out there for good cars under 4 grand...who cares what the book says? The real measure of the car's value is how much mileage you get for what you paid, not how much you paid when you acquired it.
I used my knowledge of Corollas and past statistical data to make this purchase. I buy cars like Billy Beane. I also rebuffed his offer of $150 to take my 1998 Corolla with 178K.

$150?
Can't you donate it and get a tax deduction for more than that?

That's precisely why I didn't give him the trade.
