Ouch! What year was your Alero Andrew? Must be taking a hit for high mileage?

Re: Used Car Prices

Holy crap. If I were you I would find a Jetta TDi or a Civic. I can barely afford 25 bucks a week for gas.

Re: Used Car Prices

Geez I show have fixed up my Alero before I sold it. Average trade is 3600 and the Retail was 5,000. 99Gx with 86,000 miles on it. Sigh oh well it was wrecked (still drivable) so I sold it to a friend that really needed a car badly for 500. Sad thing is that I left a set of rims on it that she could easily make her money back on if she sold them

Re: Used Car Prices

I would like to say close to 19 or so, well, im doing about 80mph comming out of cleveland. and about...give or take...eee 16ish around town. Every time i try to calculate it, its a different # every time. This is the best i got. Keep in mind i have 138,700mi on it. Im getting a new pair of tires for my car on thursday, yokohama avid H4s. i think thats the name. all season high preformance tire.

What do think? 95 bucks a tire. What do you think about the design? Worth it?
