how much for a used Trix or P5?

[firstmazda]

Hoping you guys could help me out,
Just wanted to know how much you guys think either a trix or a P5 would go for.
like a couple years old.
with an automatic, power pkg, CD, air.

ALSO, if you only had $5k to spend on a used car, but looking for something
like a bigger hatch (ie. P5 vs. civic hatch) what would be your options??


Thanks,
Ray

My wife and I sold her 2002 P5, fully loaded except it was 5 speed, two years old, about 25,000km, mint condition for about $16,500. We wanted a bit more considering it\'s awesome condition but there is such an abundence of P5\'s for sale it\'s hard to command $2000 more than the average price on Trader.ca

scroll to the VALUE FINDER of which you will be prompted to type in the year, make, model and they\'ll give you the lowest, medium and highest market driven prices.

The trader value finder is a good start, but I wouldn\'t consider it to be the authority. Also, alot of people say to use the Kelly Blue Book value (attainable through the Toyota website), however both of these resources under valued the two cars we have sold this year by at least a couple of grand.

was gonna say p5 coz its got a nice shifter feel...
then re-read it, u wanted an auto
theres tons of p5s floating around
bet you can find a better deal for it than for a trix

there seem to be alot of american cars that come cheap just after a few years
id go that route
not sure bout a hatch tho

you won\'t find a P5 for $5,ooo. Unless it\'s been in an accident. Average price right now is about $14,000 - $17,000 used.
