auction prices? you have to be kidding me lol nobody goes to an auction looking for either one of our cars…and the condition mine is in it couldn’t make it to an auction…dealership material…

edit: neither one of our cars could be found at an auction in their current condition(i’m sure you take care of your stuff)

yours ^^^

and judging by your screen shot…even though your vehicle is 2 years younger…its depreciated value is lower than the caddies…at 72k the caddy is still over 5 grand…but the GTP is just over 5 grand at 50-60k…depreciate the value with another 14k miles

either way we’ll both get boned on trade in., so it doesnt matter. i was going by what you car is worth to a dealer on trade. or more like what it goes for in a “real” market. not taking into consideration the marked, demand, etc etc

Auction prices drive retail prices of all cars.

Used caddies (mainly FWD DeVilles, Sevilles, Eldos) have some of the worst resale values out there. Reliability is a major issue with them. Also very expensive to fix. Ever put a starter in a Northstar? How about a head gasket job? They are throw away cars.

I’m not a GP or Mustang fan either, but I’d take either one of them all day before a used Cadillac (with the exception of an Escalade/EXT).

just because you’re not bashin other people doesn’t mean that people aren’t going to bash you.
