Plus, you are calculating your loss based on what a dealer wanted to give you for it on a trade-in. That's the lowest possible market value out there.

I love the logic of some people.
$5k worth of damage, still left $15k lost in value. The Z doesnt hold its value, period. The Evo's do. But whatever I didnt really care. At that point i just wanted to get rid of the Z. I would have traded it in even if i was only getting $10k for it.

EVOs hold their value? I really think you got that backwards but I could be wrong. Z's hold their value better than most cars, you find out as soon as you look for a used one.

I would consider buying a used Z but not a used EVO. I know how EVO owners treat them! lol

and you think Z's are treated any better? I can go in the city right now and buy a used one for under 30k now.

18,xxxkms on it and 29k. Thats about $13,000 drop in value on a 09 with only 18,xxxkms

http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Nissan/37...howcpo=ShowCPO
2009 Evo 85,000kms and still $36,000. Thats a $4000 drop in value for a 09 with 85,000kms


I own/owned both cars, dont sit there and tell me the Z holds more of a value then the Evo...lol. Mitsubishi's are famous for holding their values.
