JMIII,
You got that right John. I just bought an 92 Grand Caravan last year in perfict shape, with 160k on it for only $1500. But, on the other hand, I have dumped over 10 grand into my Mustang, and thats just a pile of parts, and will only be worth about 9grand when done. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif So what do I know. BTW, the stang will NEVER be sold.

What?!! You list Chrysler products and even Kia and Hyundai, but no Fords./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I just bought my wife a slightly used 2001 Ford SE Sport Windstar for her birthday yesterday./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif After 10 years of driving Escorts, she decided she wanted something bigger./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Happy New Year Bird!

... and a very Happy Birthday to Mrs. Senter... /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Now... Bird... you don't really want me to post auction prices on a Windstar do ya... and see some grown men cry...? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

 

[Bird]

/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gifI can imagine what the auction prices might be, John. In fact, I bought this one from CarMax and a title search showed that they bought it at auction, and we know they made a profit when they sold it to me./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif But I don't begrudge businesses a profit, and I did buy it several thousand dollars under Kelly Blue Book and NADA retail prices.

 

[Von]

John, What auctions are those sold at? I need to get a cheap car for my daughter. Or are those wrecks that are being sold at those prices?

 

[JohnMiller3]

Well Bird... this is the best I can do on short notice... You have multiple auto auctions in Texas.../w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
The closest match is from Dallas-Fort Worth...

<font color=blue>...What auctions are those sold at?...</font color=blue>

Happy New Year Von!

These are dealer only auctions. Those I listed first locally were all running under their own power as they drove through the auction lanes... I can't verify body condition as I wasn't there...

I have seen the Korean units look like brand spanky new... go for these prices however... they certainly don't hold their resale value... perhaps the worst... /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

 

[Von]

John, Happy new years to you!!.......I guess I'll have to go with some of my friends who are dealers. Wouldn't mind getting one of those little 4WD units for her. At those prices you could buy a few and have parts cars for the one on the road!
