Offensive to sellers but have people gone over the cliff on Car values

For those of you that are old enough to know who W.C. Fields is, he once said, "Never give a sucker an even break"!

Stroked340 nailed it. Your car is worth whatever you can get for it. If you pay too much for it, that's on you. If you get a deal on it, then good for you.

I'm not real privey to car values in the east, but if you're buying a car from the southwest, you're going to pay a premium due to a car needing less attention. That's not to say that the west doesn't have some crappy cars, but the chances are better than something out of the rust belt.

I'm not really sure which drives the prices the most, but I'll pay a little more for a car that requires less work to get it to the finish line knowing what my limited skill set is and what it takes in body work to make the corrections.
