June 2013, I paid $16.5K for a RT-S fully loaded used with 450 miles on it and an extended warranty! Basically it was new.
I shopped for used for about 2 months to find that deal on craigslist.
Those prices are still high in my opinion. Sorry but it's the truth. It's all about finding a motivated seller. It use to be a sellers market but since mid last year that flipped. My opinion....
Now ready for this! How about a trade in value on a 2010 RT-S fully loaded with less than 12K miles, below $10K?
That is someone I know that did a trade in on a 2014 and that's all he got!
You can ask say $18K for a 2012 but doesn't mean you will get it... 2013 believe it or not, might be worse if the buyer does their research.....
There is the truth of the matter.
FYI LTD owners will even be worse! The premium paid for a Limited won't hold up on the used market. Heck the premium paid for a LTD new, is way over priced for what you get. In my opinion. Don't expect that to hold up in the used market.
Even for the price I paid for my 2011 used, I would not take $10K for a trade in on a 2014 at $28K.
That would mean I would pay MORE than I paid for the price of admission less than 1 year ago....
My 2011 is worth more to me than that and no way in hell would I even sell it for less than I paid for it at this time!
Thus she's a keeper
Simple truth is.... TODAY it's a buyers market and sorry but that's the story from my perspective having been there...
For those asking those prices.... I wish them luck but remember..."that's what they are asking.. It does mean what they will get!"
