I hear ya. Our 08 seinna (58k miles) paid $13k from the original owner, when dealers wanted $18k + for a 100k mileage and up . Was offered $13-14k on trade in, towards a $40k unit . We're driving all our vehicles in to the ground. Lowest mileage is 109k, highest on the 4x4 150- 160k . Even the 08 versa, hatchback with 120k (original owner) maintained will bring me $5k, easy, if not more. Especially when i post the window sticker showing 27-33 mpg.
