with 16 " sport alloy wheel ,ipod adaptor.
he bought it for $22000 driveway . The asking price about $23888 and also he get the extended warranty from delaer for 3 years plus 2 years on manufacturer warranty total 5 years

I'm sure the dealer could have gone down to 20k or so. Cars lose a huge chunk of value the moment you first turn that engine on and drive out the dealers driveway lol.

i would have bought a new one if i had to fork out that price. who knows what would have happened in that 14,000k

14000k? isnt that quite a lot for my07?

14000k? isnt that quite a lot for my07?

not really...depends hold old (as in, was it bought at the start of the year or towards the end) the car is, and the average mileage is 15,000-20,000kms per year.

as far as i know that car released on January 2007... so the mileage still acceptable...

[wilkie]

no it's not about when the car was released, it's about when it was originally BOUGHT. if the previous owner bought it the month before they sold it, that means they did 14,000kms in *one month* which is very very extreme usage! but then again that is unlikely

Ripped off. Used car with 14000 kms for more than RRP of a new one ($21490)!!!

I wouldn't have paid anywhere near that.

that price is without on roads though...

Funny the asking price however was about the same as a new one... I would have thought they could have done better than 22,000

[UNLS1]

i would have gone for the new car option! 14,000 is alot. the new car price would of come very close indeed.
Ive sold a new one for a very similar price!

but remember in vic, used car stamp duty is 4% of the purchase price and only 2.5% on a new car. Hence why 2nd hand arnt that cheap!

I would have bought a new one at full price for $24,490 driveaway rather than a 2nd hand one for $22,000.

20000 drive away? or the buyer still need to pay the stamp duty?
if the buyer need to pay the stam duty, the stamp dut around 700

20000+700= $20700


yea my friend's car is ' 2007 vti, with alloy wheel 16" , the alloy wheels it self will cost around $1200, ipod adaptor and he get extended warranty for 3 years from dealer..
and remember the colour is black, i heard that it's hard to find the second hand car wth black colour..
in my opinion $22000 is a normal price, is not cheap, but not too pricy as well

i wish i bought the second hand one denot .. since buy the new one just waste my damn money coz i put the damn alloy wheel in it which cost a fortune...., if i could go back , i will buy the second hand one for sure... :P of course the one with low mileage and good condition...

[denot]

Yeah, i bought my FD2 brand new, have a picnic to bobbins head with friends, smashed from behind by one of them... :( my FD2 lost her virginity in less than 10 days time, and price drop ridicolously after that (if I plan to sell it)
