Interesting, while I have limited experience, it was the exact opposite.Depending on the age of the car, CarMax and similar places may be 15-20% lower than dealers. Both of our last two trade ins, we did substantially better through the dealer than CarMax.
Those turbo Foresters with manual trans. already are somewhat of a hot idem. I was checking them online all were already sold at many diff. sites. For good coin. You cannot even get a manual Forester in the US anymore. Stopped making them couple yrs. ago.
Janice has a regular 2007 with auto trans. It sucks engine races & kind of jerks into gear. If trying to get up speed on ramp etc. Been told that they have better auto trans. in newer models.
Have a 2009 Honda with short throw stick shift. It is fun to drive.
Was checking out Honda S2000 online. They hold value pretty good compared to other sports or supercars that lose a ton of value over 10 yrs. Modern day Jags cost big bucks you can buy them 10 yrs. later for nothing.
S2000 made 10 years 1999-2009 many were run hard on tracks. Think lower milage good examples will become collectable in the future.
my wife is super desirable.
Wilma would be way too annoying without back seat social distancing!get a new corvette
crap...hahhaha. opps.My wife is not bad...
I drive a 2009 Mini Cooper S 6 speed. It's held up pretty well as has my wife.
Nice to have a super desirable wife

Thanks for all the replies. My wife wants to keep the Mercedes suv because it’s luxurious. Yeah and it’s a 2013 with like 150k miles. In another year or two I’ll be in the same spot as my garbage cars now. I wanna trade it in while it’s worth something. God help me!
Now is the time to buy. Some screaming great deals out there right now because of the economy. It's the biggest reason I'm looking to buy now and not in two or three years when it will cost me thousands more when the economy is hopefully doing much better....no new purchase in the near future. Not in these economic muddy waters.
we haven’t had a car payment since 2008. We’ve gotten accustomed to that freedom.
When we sold my wife's '03 MINI to a friend we took it to his independent German service shop for a once over. We were there first thing in the morning and there was a pristine 7 series and 5 series already in the lot. I figured they were customers' who had dropped them off the night before. Nope, they were cars that were in otherwise mint condition but had some mechanical issue that would cost more to repair than the car was worth. They were basically just very pretty scrap. The owners had abandoned them.When we lived in Maine I had a great (independent) mechanic who I very much miss as he was scrupulously honest ......... His take on both BMWs and M-B was that they are fine when they are new but you don't want to hang on to them too long out of warranty unless you absolutely love the car and are prepared to absorb the maintenance.
2018, got one of the very last ones..... You cannot even get a manual Forester in the US anymore. Stopped making them couple yrs. ago.....
It's a Subaru, wouldn't that be a side end?.... I can’t say the Subaru has been trouble free ( the top end needed to be rebuilt). But it’s solid now.....
