If they are using Galves then that might explain the low ball on the trade in. In my experience most use KBB. But, my Nissan dealership (Acme Nissan) uses NADA for trade in values....which would definitely favor you.

the murano is quite deceiving in terms of size. it is indeed bigger than it looks. i was surprised to see how spacious it is when i saw one at the dealer.

never driven one, but i hear it drives very well. i also hear it's quite fun to drive.

i dont find the brakes all that awe inspiring myself. acceleration is pretty good for such a large vehicle.

I almost bought a car from Acme when I lived in Franklin Park. These guys were using KBB.

Nice Rover. Unfortunately that's probably where it spends most of its life.

Range Rover reliability FTL.

I want a Townhouse or single family house with a 2 car garage so that I can put my TSX even if I wanted to get rid of it, but am keeping it cause of rising gas prices and I won't be driving as much anymore.

In addition to the daily driver TSX, I want to put either an leftover 2007 Infiniti G35x or 2008 G35x, EX35, or a Lexus IS350 in there. Most likely it will be a G35x sedan though.

i've always wanted an s2k, but seems like it shouldn't be a daily driver.
a used rl 6-speed maybe? rare and not really modded much. but oh so sexy esp with sh-awd

bmw 135 or m1, i love hondas/acuras, but i'd like to TRY something different. i think i will always be a fan of hondas but i need something else for a change i guess... or the 335 coupe if everything goes well

recently i've been somewhat craving for a sporty suv... i never thought i would. but it seems so much more comfortable and easier to drive than a lowered car. rdx, mdx, fx45

probably gonna wait for the about 2013 something like that new GMC Sierra 2500HD. they just redid it i know. but rumors i've been hearing is their going Cat diesel and Cat automatic transmission in their truck. I don't figure on it until atleast 2010. due to diesel regulations. but i don't see it before 2011 at the earliest.

Big-time toss-up...probably after I'm married to the GF (and recovered from coughing up the $ for the ring); but I'm leaning towards the Infiniti M-series or Lexus GS-series. Although, the GF is quite the fan of the Acura MDX, so I just may end up getting a mid-sized ute.

I'm looking to get a pre-owned Boxster S in the next 8-12 months or so... but while at the Audi dealer last weekend I fell in love with a blue RS4. Damn that thing was yummy... but I don't think I want to spend that much right now.

You're getting married, banging out a couple mini-Yum's and getting a Minivan.

Both.

A car we'd both enjoy. She'll likely hang onto her Mazda 3 tho. My CL-S is getting old and with all my bad luck with it, I think it should be the candidate for trade-in or sale.

Volvo XC70 or XC90 would be my first two choices depending on passenger requirements.

Ditto. Although the XC90 is a much better car for the money, if leasing.

Thanks! The more I drive them, the more I like them. Plus all the safety features allow me to drive with confidence. That is a good point when having kids.
