Yesterday I seen it all. I watched an '05 Pontiac Aztek sell for $8100 plus buyers fee.:eek: That is total insanity,yes it was AWD BUT I DON'T CARE. I really hope new cars start selling again so the used market calms down a little.

Used car prices went nuts in the greater Detroit area when the economy tanked. I was looking at several and told em all to piss off for that much.

Can't see why anyone would buy a new Aztec let alone a used one. That thing looks like a big mistake.

Oops the hatch doesn't come all the way done in back. Somebody's blueprints are wrong! No problem we'll just stuff in this little piece here and call it good.

Didn't they have to discount them $8100 when new just to get them off the lot?

Its the AWD that no doubt made someone want to pay that kind of money.

Those are a car that only a mother could love. Although many years ago, someone posted a souped up hot rodded Aztek that was a big improvement in the looks dept but it was still an Aztek in the end. I havent seen those pics in many many years now.

Trucks are hard to find here in middle TN. When you do find a decent one @ wholesale you'll pay through the nose leaving little profit margin.

I called my buddy who I have known for 20 years that owns a very small Ford Dealership, he has an 05 F250 Diesel 4 Door Crew coming in on trade with 32,000 miles. The person trading has ordered a 2010 model. I am the first one he is calling when it comes in.

My GFs brother just got a low mileage, under 30K 07 or 08 Audi A8 fully loaded. Traded it even up for his close to 100K Ford Super Duty 4 door at a small dealership he is good friend with the owner. I thought that was a great deal on his part. The Audi new was over 80 grand.
