If I have the willpower to wait for a one year used GS model with under 15k, I will. I would love to save a cool 5k that way. I just don't want someone to abuse the poor thing because it was a program car or lease turn-in.thebarber wrote:I like it, but I'll wait to pick up a used one..
The regal sedan starts at $28kUS....where are you thinking the wagon is going to come in at? If its anything like the cts wagon, it wont be at the same base price as the sedans...jkm311 wrote:If I have the willpower to wait for a one year used GS model with under 15k, I will.

Agree!!!!!ColonelPanic wrote:Year old Regals around here are still going for mid 20's.
Used cars are absolute ripoffs now, they're not worth wasting time on IMO. The days where someone else took the hit on depreciation sure were nice!

Jake, I had the same issues. Had a Malibu for a few days while the vibe was repaired after my accident. I just couldn't get comfortable in the car.jake75 wrote:
I recently rented a 2012 Chevy MALIBU. The car is nice and the mpg pretty good but I just don't like sitting that low in a passenger sedan. Even with the tilt wheel up I had trouble getting inside - My legs rubbed against the underside of the steering wheel. This Regal station wagon might have that same issue.
True, but who buys used cars off dealer lots?jake75 wrote:When you drive a used car off the lot you can't get what you paid either.
I suspect that the vast majority of used cars are bought off dealer lots. My 2009 Vibe AT MSRP $19,480 was bought new almost 4 years ago in Jan. 2009. So far my only expense has been LOF and tire rotation. I suspect that if I had bought a 2006 in Jan. 2009 I would have had a lot more expenses. After rebates and discounts I paid about $12,000 plus tax. I could probably sell it today for $12,000. I admit, those kind of deals are probably ancient history. But even today, buying new is often a better value.thebarber wrote:True, but who buys used cars off dealer lots?jake75 wrote:When you drive a used car off the lot you can't get what you paid either.
Loss would certainly be less, though
Uh, the 2011+ 2.0L Turbo models have been available with a 6 speed manual.tpollauf wrote:Not a bad looking wagon/hatch. A bit too much rice in those taillights though Because it's a Buick, NO MANUAL TRANSMISSION will be available You won't see one in my driveway anytime soon. I'd also be curious where this car would be produced?

I'd assume the 2014 would be built in Oshawa, just like the current lineup.

I do. We saved over $5,000 on my wife's Malibu Maxx that way. Kept our payment way low, it's still in good shape and we've gotten nearly 55,000 miles out of it.thebarber wrote:True, but who buys used cars off dealer lots?
It is.vit wrote:Probably an Opel...
That was while everybody was holding onto their cars during the recession, dealers jacked up the prices on used cars because sales of new models were in the dumper. The tide is turning back. And you only pay for the price you agree on. I'm one of those "complicated" customers.ColonelPanic wrote:Used cars are absolute ripoffs now, they're not worth wasting time on IMO.

ohhhhhhjkm311 wrote:*Proooobably* should have clarified that by saying "under 15k," I meant miles after one year. I certainly didn't expect a Buick Regal GS Wagon to lose over half its value in one year. But it certainly lead to this interesting conversation. Ha!
