Your used Aveo is worth more than it used to be (due to high gas prices)

[MetroMPG]

Interesting tidbit about the cost of gas and its effect on used car prices:

Used-car prices are now at a 16-year high, according to the National Automotive Dealers Association (NADA), which tracks used-car prices. Correlating to the high price of gas, demand for small and mid-sized vehicles is surging

They specifically mention the Aveo:

used cars, such as the Toyota Prius, the Chevrolet Aveo LS sedan, the Hyundai Accent GLS have risen between 11 and 14 percent.

That's better than the stock market!! Shoulda bought a bunch of Aveos in May!!!

So far I haven't read any news stories about insane people paying $6k for worn out Geo Metros. Apparently a few did last time gas prices went over 4 bucks / gallon in the U.S. (I wasn't one of them - I swear!)

I have known this for a month or two when i looked at nada and kbb, it is insane on how much the values have gone up, just makes it easier to get rid of mine

That should definitely help your trade in value hunter.

Yeah, I am going to shop around after winter, its a 50-50 chance, I just dont want to commit a lot of money into another car just yet, I will have a good idea of my future in the next 8-12 months, I hope...

Smart move, I know I'm sitting well right now so I have been getting stuff for my car, and some other stuff I don't need lol.

[thehunterooo]

Yeah, I very well may trade in in September now, I am expecting over $5000 trade in on my car now, there are some minor things I need to take care of though first. The longer I wait, the more I lose.

Sell high!!

Good luck Mr. hunter (& with the parts sale too).

[thehunterooo]

If this is so, how come sergi's car has not sold? He has a sweet deal with mods...if I had the cash I would go for it as it stands you get a great car with good gas millage.

[thehunterooo]

Different part of country, a lot of mods which may not appeal to some people, I think he has only put it on CL as well, and CL sucks hard. If he puts it on eBay it would be gone, but he has been working a lot so I do not think he has even had the time to really "sell it". I did want to buy it at one point though, but an aveo is an aveo, I want out
