      Your used Aveo is worth more than it used to be (due to high gas prices)

      Interesting tidbit about the cost of gas and its effect on used car prices:

      Used-car prices are now at a 16-year high, according to the National Automotive Dealers Association (NADA), which tracks used-car prices. Correlating to the high price of gas, demand for small and mid-sized vehicles is surging
      They specifically mention the Aveo:

      used cars, such as the Toyota Prius, the Chevrolet Aveo LS sedan, the Hyundai Accent GLS have risen between 11 and 14 percent.
      Source: Gas Prices Driving Used Car Prices to 16-Year Record Highs

      That's better than the stock market!! Shoulda bought a bunch of Aveos in May!!!

      So far I haven't read any news stories about insane people paying $6k for worn out Geo Metros. Apparently a few did last time gas prices went over 4 bucks / gallon in the U.S. (I wasn't one of them - I swear!)

      Yeah, I am going to shop around after winter, its a 50-50 chance, I just dont want to commit a lot of money into another car just yet, I will have a good idea of my future in the next 8-12 months, I hope...

      Yeah, I very well may trade in in September now, I am expecting over $5000 trade in on my car now, there are some minor things I need to take care of though first. The longer I wait, the more I lose.

      If this is so, how come sergi's car has not sold? He has a sweet deal with mods...if I had the cash I would go for it as it stands you get a great car with good gas millage.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      Different part of country, a lot of mods which may not appeal to some people, I think he has only put it on CL as well, and CL sucks hard. If he puts it on eBay it would be gone, but he has been working a lot so I do not think he has even had the time to really "sell it". I did want to buy it at one point though, but an aveo is an aveo, I want out
