I think the list price on my car was around $28k
Being how I bought it for ~$2800, I guess I feel pretty good
(Albeit 10 years and 90k miles later)

 

[Imdmn04]

2007 BMW 335i

MSRP: 44,925
Paid: 42,900

After TTL: 46,700 ish

 

[prontospyder]

2003 Nissan Altima
List: $20,000 (with "Dealer Market Adjustment" - $22,000)
Paid: $18,100

Far more important is the cost of ownership. I always buy new, drive them for 250,000 miles (around 12 years), rinse and repeat. At 12 years the rubber o rings and seals start to go bad and the peripheral parts start to break, sucks but that's the way it is.

 

[ponyo]

4 cars. 100k+ total.

 

[FallenHero]

33

 

[Argo]

$47,000

 

[Lonyo]

~$2500 for my first (and only so far) car
Most I would pay is about $15000 (for something used - wouldn't buy new).

 

[SlitheryDee]

~$3000 8 years ago.

 

[thedarkwolf]

94 mazda miata turbo $4200
89 dodge caravan turbo $800
Two for $5000 yay me.

 

[RossMAN]

I bought a loss leader which was $2500 below invoice.

Around $17,244

 

[CrackRabbit]

$1500 coming up on two years ago now.

 

[Turin39789]

$2500. It should last me the rest of my life.

2003 Dodge Intrepid:
Sticker: 23k ish
Paid: 17k ish
(1% below invoice - $1,000 supplier discount - $3,000 mfg. rebates - $1,000 dealer match)

2003 Dodge Durango:
Sticker: $32,250
Paid: $22,700
(1% below invoice - $1,000 supplier discount - $4,500 mfg. rebate - $1,000 dealer match)

briefly worth more than I paid after driving them off the lot!

In 2003, working for an automotive supplier and buying from Chrysler had their advantages. Of course, the resalevalue drops like a rock when they do stuff like that.

 

[Beau]

2006 Ford Explorer XLT, $27k
2000 BMW 540i sport, $10k

 

[Ricemarine]

Parents gave me my car... Very grateful for it

Those were some amazing deals! GM, Dodge, and Ford were giving away vehicles in 2003.

 

[Shawn]

$5400 in 2002.

 

[SynthDude2001]

$2000 almost three years ago, and I plan on driving it into the ground

 

[Eli]

$800

1990 Toyota Tercel, 158k when I bought it, 179k now.

It was a bad buy, I've put 2200$ into it since I bought it, mostly on routine maintenance stuff that previous owners had obviously neglected to do.

Hopefully it will be reliable for some time to come now. *knocks on wood*

 

[Regs]

19,500 for a Mazda 6s 07.

Sticker was 23,500.
