Sorry for the dead post revival, but I thought I'd rather re-hash then post a new topic. I'm currently living in Kitchener, and I'm in the market for a 03-05 G35 6MT Coupe.
Looking at AutoTrader prices vs American prices vs Dealership prices vs what people have paid here, what should I actually expect to pay on a coupe? I'm looking in the neighborhood of no more than 60,000km on it.

I recently traded my 03 sedan for $14250 at the dealer. I think i got a good deal, but still i sorta regret getting the g because i bought it for $30000 Plus in 2006 and now it's worth less than half. It's good i had paid off the car (2 years finance). I bought a 08 accord and i think the accord will never loose it's value how the G lost it's value.
Base line is, Cars are not an investment but It's an expense! But still people tend to buy expensive cars hoping when they sell it, it will worth a lot but that's not the case. I plan on using my accord for another 10 years till i know i don't give a damn about the resale value because i had put enuff mileage. Best bet is to get a decent car and use it till it dies. After you pay off the car, keep on saving $500 or whatever you were payinig for your car payment and invest that money in mutual funds, stocks, or best put that extra $500 into you're house morgage. this way you'll pay off your house much faster and than you could buy which ever car you want, when you know you have no house morgage to worry about.
Damn i think i finally matured up
...
Btw i had the same topic two weeks back.

You know what to do for sure. You didn't quite walk the talk though with your '06 car and going to an '08.

your better off keeping the car for a long term than to be selling it and than whining bout the resale value
