The dealer offered me $6500 for the Fiesta and sold the Alltrack I was looking at. Looks like I'm not buying a new car!

How many miles (or kill-o-meet-rays) are on the Fiesta? I’m not the king of Fiesta ST resale, but that seems very low for what was a decently priced hot hatch new.

Might be a blessing in disguise considering market volatility these days.

It had a deer hit before I bought it, but come on, that's an insulting offer.

I'm in a job that can't stop and it was 0% financing.

So they basically offered $4,500 USD for a car with 67,000 miles. Wow, that’s pathetic.

I you're looking for a road trip, the VW dealer in Albuquerque still has a couple of dozen Alltracks on the lot.

How do you not laugh in their face with that offer?

There could very well be better buying opportunities to come. Keep your eyes open!

Because it was an email, so I laughed to myself.

lol. That’s at least a €10k ($15k CAN) car here in Germany. If it’s a 2013. And used cars in Germany are cheap, compared to surrounding countries.

It’s time to export those little hot hatches to Europe. 500 Abarth is another example that hardly depreciates here, and plummets like a rock in NA.

Gas is cheap and hotels are still open. Do it!

Oh wait, the border closed. If you were in the boundaries, it’d be possible.

$6500 is massive BULLSH*T.

Do they think you don’t realize that the ST is a more expensive model? Some dealership here keeps sending mailers telling me what they’d value my “Fiat 500” at...and no, I’m not trading an Abarth at a Fiat Pop value. Dumbasses.

CB > smobgirl
03/20/2020 at 11:38

They probably do not.

Have you checked what Carvana would value the FiST at? The VW is gone, but this might take crappy trade values out of the equation for whatever you find next.

I didn’t know if these were like Tacoma’s in terms of lacking depreciation, or if these depreciated like regular Fiestas.

No Carvana, Carmax, etc. in Canada.

Looks like they can’t tell the difference between a Fiesta SE sedan and a Fiesta ST.

Maybe they think it won’t sell for several months. Also who’ s to say how much traffic the auctions are getting.
