You know I have to say that deprectiation or not the first generation Aveo that I had was amazing in that in all the years that I owned it the car cost me very little other than tires, brakes, & oil changes most of which I did myself. The only major things I have ever done to mine was the lower control are at 60K due to a faulty bushing, then the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and idler pulleys at 91K because we all know what happens when we break a timing belt right? Anyway as of late it seems to me, and this is just my opinion, if you look at cars.com and see what Aveos are going for right now it seems that theyre getting a pretty good price for them. I'm sure thats got a lot to do with the increase in fuel prices.
