I have an 02 WRX with about 35000 miles on it. I'm in Canada. Up here, it's 48000 km. ;-)
It's a lease, and the lease is up next month. The buyout is about $17k CDN, which is likely about $15k USD.
Its condition is overall very good - no accidents, always taken in for service at the recommended mileage etc.
I'm curious as to whether $17k is a sensible buyout. I thought of checking blue/yellow books, and I also thought of checking my local market. Bought an auto trader, and found one similar car (although with almost double the mileage), and the buyer wants $19k firm. So I expect the buyout isn't outrageous.
Just curious to see how people gauge such stuff...
I also expect prices to be lower in the States, but I'll want to base my decisions on Canadian market values.
Thanks!
