Wanted to trade 2014 impala but with only 3000 miles on it it depreciated trade value was 14000 off sticker. are they mistreating me? thanks bumperking

 

WTF man? You were buying another Impala 2.5l the other day

get your stories straight.

 

 

the chevy Iwas going to buy the deal fell through. the wife wanted a different model. cant trade anyway with this kind of depreciation.

 

imports always have had a higher resale. all a consumer thing. All nonsense as most buyers now nothing about the reliability of used cars. Good if your a buyer but not for a seller.

 

It also has to do with supply and demand, There usually tends to be less supply of many imports, especially ones that were built overseas, if the demand is high, and the supply low they will go for higher prices, if the cars are a dime a dozen, then they will sell for lower prices. Unfortunately Impala's are easy to find and plentiful. If you want to get a car that hold's it's value better, than find something the rental fleets do not buy, rental fleets are great at lowering a brands resale value especially on the more popular models that they use. Look at the last generation Impala, it earned the nickname as the Rental Queen, pretty much devaluing all Impala's of that generation. Just about every used car lot in the country has Impala's that are from rental fleets.
