I have a hard time buying barely used Hondas (or Toyotas). They don't drop enough in value to make it worth it. You get better financing deals when new, you get the full warranty, you don't have to worry about some jackhole having abused the car, you can get the equipment/color you want, etc.

BTW guys, quit buying cars from people other than hometeam!

LMAO
took you long enough to mention that. |

... Anecdote! The leading Nissan dealer in Denver... My dad called, introduced himself, and just said he wanted to buy me a specific car. No one could help. The GM, the finance guys, the salesmen were all out of the office. Only person there was a used car girl, and that wasn't going to work for him. After 6 hours of no return calls, he finds my car locally and just takes care of it in California. 2 weeks later, he gets a phone call from the dealership asking how they could help. 2 weeks! Sometimes bad companies do well because there's not much other choice. |

Turrible. My return call time on a phone up or internet lead is MAXIMUM of 30 minutes, my ideal time is 5 minutes. I get a phone notification and immediately contact the customer. If I don't, someone else will. |
So I talked to my expert and he says the seller wants too much. 23K is on the high end and is what it might be worth on a good day at auction. You are the one taking all the risk. The wheels are not desirable to a large group of people so it is going to sit for a while. You better offer about 14K.

This is mostly right, unless your the type that gets bored and likes to trade every year, then you have to seriously consider that chunk of equity that you are going to lose. If you trade more in the 3 year plus range your devaluation levels out a lot more, and makes buying a new car make a ton more of sense. Also, some people consider the fact that no one else has farted in the seat more important than the money they may lose trading often, and they are fine with that. |

Ok really though. 1.) If you can buy a car at auction price, you are in good shape. 2.) If you think someone is going to sell you a 2013 accord for 14k I would like to introduce you to my friend Mr. Straight Jacket. 3.) Please god, be trolling. 4.) You DID get right the part about the wheels, and OP can use that as a negotiating chip. The wheels suck, and devalue the car SLIGHTLY. |
