My 2006 Matrix with 68,000 miles is probably worth a grand. but it runs perfectly, and I keep it maintained. Its like a money printing machine compared to buying any new car.
It is not flashy. But I hate flashy, so its perfect.
And its only worth a grand because the tires are 3 years old. I got 500 bucks out of the ATM and thought "hey, this car's worth 50% more!"
Tires don't increase how much its worth.

If I recall correctly, the value of the voucher was tied to the gain in combined MPG when you traded in the old vehicle for the new vehicle with better tech.
I'd really love to get a certified pre-owned pickup truck with good gas mileage.
I'm pretty sure you had to buy a new car, because that's what directly helps the automakers.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could get more than $5K for that by selling private party.
I agree. That's probably more than $5k.
I would potentially consider taking the $5k on my 17-year-old CRV with 250k miles.

We'd love to buy a new car, but we want a custom order and they can't place new orders. We've been trying since January. I think they're missing parts or the production line stalled?

That's annoying. I just bought a new car and had to donate it as no one would buy it.

I really think this only a good deal if you were buying a 20-30K car. Anything more than that and the $5K off really isn't all that great.
