that seems unusually low, actually. was that a real qoute - or one that included rebates/incentives that you may or may not qualify for?
i ask because i had a dealer quote that only to find out they were adding in a bunch of rebates i wouldn't get.
check some sites like truecar or edmunds...
i don't know if canada has craigslist, but it is free to list a car for sale. ebay has a free listing for classified (non-auction), too.
you're going to lose money either way, but you'll probably lose more on a trade-in. there are tools online for valueing your car. kbb, edmunds, autotrader...
odd, i don't see 'moderator' by your name. just the silliness that you actually donated money. snicker. you are continuing the off-topic, btw. you contributed nothing to the rav4 topic...
didn't read, did you? the 6-cylinder doen't have a CVT. you bought a 2013, woefully underpowered CX5, so i really don't think you're one to talk. the 2013 was so bad mazda had to rush the 2014 to market. good luck on your resale...
the 6-cyl comes with a regular 5-speed tranny through 2014. the 2015 is all CVT. i test drove the 4 cyl OB and i didn't care for the CVT, either. truecar has a 2014 6 cyl limited with sunroof at $31.7k. the 2015 CX-5 on truecar is $29.5. so yes there is an 'ouch'.
the 2012 i drove has 40k...
you sound like a member of the cult. lol. right now, the oldest i'm willing to look at is a 2012 and only the 6-cylinder. the 2015, a new generation, was announced today. i'm in no rush, so i may wait to see if i can get a deal on a 2014.
i'm seriously considering a subaru outback now. i can get it with a v6 (mpg penalty, of course), reliable, great resale, and off-road capable. new is a lot more $, but a year or two old is a good value.
the new cherokee is having some serious problems with the transmissions and computer. many people are having to have their entire tranny replaced after a very short period of ownership. lack of parts is taking weeks for some. i would no longer consider it an option. here's a link to a...
whenever i test drive a vehicle, and i test drive a lot, i tell them the types of roads i want to go on. i usually drive it for a half hour over flat, curvy, hilly and interstate roads. remember, YOU are the customer.
i've read the tan leather is very difficult to keep clean. blue jeans leave visable marks on it.
i had a black car once. never again. never. did i mention i'd never have a black car again? i won't. ever.
