    They're not coming down that fast.... in the last year, they haven't depreciated much at all.

    From the research I have done it seemed very high, but wanted to check with some people who know more than I.

    I have seen a few more VX's online that have comparable price/milage to what you all have posted.

    I'll keep looking.

    Thanks a ton!

    Yeah, that dealer is on crack. In this period of exorbitant gas prices, a 15-mpg SUV like the VX is a tough sell.

    As for depreciation, I bought mine in Dec '04, and $12,500 was the approximate KBB value. Less than a year later, that number is down almost $3000. That's a LOT of depreciation for a used vehicle.

    However, if you are just talking in terms of "what does a 4-year old VX with 50k on it go for today compared to last year" there may not have been much depreciation.

    Blue book values haven't really held for the private party market. Especially with regards to Protons (thankfully! ) I think I could sell mine today for more than I paid for it a year ago, although I've put a few thousand dollars into it, so...

    Wow! That's near what I paid for mine 4 years ago with only "23" miles!!!!

    Someone is off their rocker. I suggest a $9k check and a shotgun will be needed during that transaction.
