they are gonna turn and sell that car for 8000k to 8500,



$8000 for a 99 SE with 100,000 miles on it? What the [censored] are you smoking? You can pick up an E1 SVT with 50-75K for less than 10K at a dealer.

$4000 trade-in for a 'Tour with 100,000 miles is pretty damn good.

When I was shopping for my 6, the highest offer I got on my '97 'Tour with 91,000 miles was $1,000. That was the highest from 4 dealerships. I, of course, kept my car.

If you're deluding yourself into thinking that your 'Tour actually has resale value, you are incredibly mistaken. In the days of 0% financing and huge incentives, the used car market is a bottomless pit. You'd be doing good to get a dealer to even take your 'Tour -- one actually said they wouldn't take mine because they could never sell it.

Too many people trading in their cars on new ones, and not enough people buying the old ones has created a huge glut.
