Hey all,

My car is a lease and I'm trying to figure out what the car will be worth in 2006? Assumming excellent condition and only has 48,000 miles. Any ideas???

Thx

trade in12k, retail 18k.

Mileage means a whole bunch too.

He wanted an educated guess Sick, not your lowball figures for the lowly Acuras. Im pretty sure the TL-S will be worth significantly more than what a 4 year old Accord can go for now. (11-15k)

This being a new model it will be nearly impossible to figure out. This gen hasnt even been out four years to know what a 99 TL-P would be worth next year. The last gen 98 3.2's still command anywhere from 16-20k. Theres no way to tell what this car will be worth, but starting at the 20k mark would be my guess. Honda/Acura Sedans tend to hold their value pretty well.

My best estimate would be about 40-45% of what it retailed for in 2002.

Thx all.

The main reason why I ask this is because my car is a lease care and has a residual value of 17k. So I was considering wether it would be wise to buy it when the lease run out. If I don't buy it, I'm not going to baby and so forth.

thx

Historically, Acuras tend to retain a little better than 50% of original value...however, you will only be offered wholesale on the car, so I would say about 14k.

So does that mean the car will not be worth 17.5k in 2005? I would end up loosing money buying the car back?

Mr Hyde

Theres no way for us to give you an exact value on that. My only advice would be to wait it out and see what its worth then.

The last Bodystyle and generation 1998 3.2Tl which is currently 4 years old is going for 16k wholesale to 20k retail right now. I would think that this car which was a better seller, has more power, and had more options like Hids etc woudl be worth more, but I just cant say, and no one can say for sure.
