That's around $2800 in today's dollars. You can't find anything with fewer than 100K miles for that (though it could be argued a mid-'70s Ford with 33k miles is comparable to a newer car with higher miles).

My in-laws just traded their 2006 Accord EX with 215k miles for $2125. I wish I knew. I would have given them $3000 and could have easily sold it here for $4-5,000. Most of the miles were highway miles from their frequent trips around the US.

Shit, if you think car market is bad, look at the used truck market. It's ridiculous.

When I bought mine new I also looked at used.

40000 mile comparable used trucks were only about 3000 cheaper

I have looked at the used truck market and it is nuts. I wanted a basic low miles 2wd small pickup and everything I could find was crazy expensive. I ended up buying new cheaper than what I could find used.
