A note to our visitors from Danielle the Webmaster and Dr. Ron: 
This Saab is the only car to appear in two separate positions on this page.
It is grouped with the Volvos and Audis because it is a Fast Euro Luxury Liner
with a turbo and heated leather seats etc… 
It is also placed down with the bargains under $6000
because it was priced like a Hyundai or PT Cruiser.
Although it is a 2001 with 75,000 miles,
these Saabs typically drive 200,000 miles and feel tight, sporty and luxurious to the end. 
This car was used for the last 6 years by an honest couple in Groton MA

The Buyer a Therapist.

The Yoga Teacher delivered it to the family therapist in Great Barrington Mass. She drove him back to Long Island.  Apparently they hit it off, and she gave him her favorite book on couples’ relationships… Dr. Ron charges for car finding, but not for his dating service… You never know.

Dr. Ron’s bookkeeper has the same car and says, "My 95 Subaru has 150k and is still going strong."
 

45,000 miles, AWD, $6,300.

1998 SUBARU LEGACY L AWD STATION WAGON.
The car lived in the 80 year old gentlemen’s garage.

The point here is that this Subaru is fully depreciated, but has barely been used.  And 80 year olds drive gently.
Dr. Ron and his client (the buyer) Dr. Steve got under the car on their backs with a flashlight.  The underbody looked new….
 

59,000 miles, AWD Minivan, $16,500



2005 Toyota Sienna XLE LTD AWD with 59,000 miles. 

This is an amazing van that has been the top rated AWD minivan every year since 2004.  The interior is completely tight and silent, and it has every conceivable option.  The seller was a single mother in the Berkshires who bought it new in 2004 for $39,000 or $40,000, and supplied all the original paperwork and service records.   Ari (testimonial coming) bought it for $16,500. The math works as follows:  The first owner burned through $23,000 plus interest in four years  ($5750/YEAR plus interest).  If the second owner drives the van for four years, he will use up about half as much equity, or about  $2875/year plus interest.  (That’s about $250/month to own a $40,000 Toyota).

This business is getting weird.

On a more serious note:

Only averaged about 2200 miles per year for the three years that I have owned it. I am reluctantly selling to buy a second car because my wife doesn’t like to drive a truck. “   If the wife is making the decision, then Dr. Ron likes the car.

Anyway we found the truck

Clean inside and out, runs well. The 1st $6,000 takes it.

Diego and Courtney went to pick up the car in CT. 
Their trades are film direction and product development,

"37,000 miles for $5500?  We need to go buy this car Dr. Ron." 
"We love the fold flat back seat and the stick shift."

Dr Ron likes PT Cruisers for a number of reasons: 
They are front wheel drive wagons with easy access and a fold flat rear seat. 
They have a durable Mitsubishi 4 cylinder engine, and a fun retro hot rod design. 
They are bargains.

Hi Ron. Its Anna. Just got home with the car.
The car is really sweet. I love it. It’s really great on the road.
It’s roomy and comfortable and full of luxury options, and it only cost $4500!!
The guy who sold it to us was really nice and straightforward.
He gave us all the service records and keys.
It couldn’t have been a better experience.
Thank you so much Ron.

A note to our visitors from Danielle the Webmaster and Dr. Ron: 
This Saab is the only car to appear in two separate positions on this page.
It is grouped with the Volvos and Audis because it is a Fast Euro Luxury Liner
with a turbo and heated leather seats etc… 
It is also placed down with the bargains under $6000
because it was priced like a Hyundai or PT Cruiser.
Although it is a 2001 with 75,000 miles,
these Saabs typically drive 200,000 miles and feel tight, sporty and luxurious to the end. 
This car was used for the last 6 years by an honest couple in Groton MA
who now need a minivan for their rare book collection.

Here is the sad part folks:  My client passed on this car.  This fish got away! 
For all you bargain hunters out there
who can appreciate the value of a 50k mile car for only $3000,
please accept my condolences.  (Yes, I feel as if someone died). 
My client bought her son a 10 year old Buick with 95k from her neighbor. 
(Also for $3000). 
Buicks are great, but Dr. Ron doesn’t buy them with 95,000 miles.

Practical, Reliable, Hyundai Wagon.

1998 Hyundai Elantra Waon, $71,000 miles, $1,900.

Seller’s Description:
One-owner, I bought it new in 1999 and I’ve kept it well-maintained ever since.
(All service records are available).
The interior is immaculate because I rarely had passengers. Non-smoker.
There is a little rust on the inside bottom of the front doors,
also my son backed into a parked car when it was only a few months old,
and I had to replace the rear lift gate (the latch is just a little sticky now).
The tires have very few miles on them and the car has a new battery.
I am selling the car because I’m moving out of the country in December.
I’m retiring to an island off the coast of panama.
I didn’t think I would ever sell it because it’s been a great car; no problems.
I swore this car would outlive me!
