Default Re: "It's only a Falcon".

Don't forget that the Falcon range has never been known for its high resale values. You'll need to buy something else if you want better resale values.

In the past I've traded all my old cars usually getting reasonable coin for it. But my WRX was the first car I decided to sell privately. Trade in couldn't give a rats about how much extra stuff was on this car and would have offered around $8K (I paid $34K for it in 2000 with 11K on the clock 2 years old). I had people offer me $10-11K sight unseen for it but I turned them down. As I owned the car it wasn't costing me a lot to have it sitting around. Finally the right buyer came along, looked at it on a Friday and drove it away on the Tuesday. Got $13250K for it. Listed it at Christmas time (bad time to sell) sold it in March.

But I still see a lot of WRX listed for sale that have been for sale whilst mine was listed as well.
