This is our 183rd AutoBrag Deal Of The Day. What we’ve done is searched through www.autobrag.com and discovered certain vehicles being sold for considerably less than market prices. Usually, the dealerships are using these “loss leaders” as a way to gain more business.

We found a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A) from Deland Mitsubishi

The lowest Internet Price: $12,758.00
MSRP: $21,774.00
ePrice: $12,758.00
Savings: $9,016.00
% OFF MSRP: 41.41 %

Why Is This The AutoBrag Deal Of The Day:

The average wholesale price for a used 2008 Mitsubishi Galant ES with 26,415 miles (average) is $9,800.00. If you were to buy this new car at sticker price of $21,774.00, after one year, your depreciation would be roughly 54.99% of the vehicle’s value or $11,974.00 over the 12 months or $997.83 per month. That does not even include the money you lose on sales tax and registration!

If you were to buy this specific 2009 Mitsubishi Galant ES for $12,758.00, you would be able to drive it for one year and trade it in or sell it at wholesale market for $9,800.00. That means that you would drive a new car for one year and pay $2,958.00 or $246.50 per month (not including taxes and fees). The depreciation for the period of one year would be 23.19%.

If the car was sold via private party the price would be about 5%-10% higher than wholesale. That means that you probably would sell this car for about $10,290.00 (5% over wholesale) to $10,780.00 (10% over 1wholesale). That means that you would drive a new car for one year and pay $2,468.00 to $1,978.00 or per month that would be $205.67 to $164.83 (not including taxes and fees).

Using AutoBrag’s Deal Of The Day, the Dealer eats 75.30% of year one’s depreciation based on wholesale market for the same vehicle.

For disclosure purposes WE DO NOT receive compensation from Deland Mitsubishi; we are just trying to save car consumers time and money.

Question From Howard: What is a good price to purchase a used 2008 Nissan Xterra X 2W/D with 24000 miles. The truck has had some body damage on the drivers door and front quarter panel. The damage has been repaired and there doesn’t appear to be any compromise to the rest of the vehicle. It is my understanding it was a rental and was purchased at Auction. The dealer is asking 13500. I think it is a little high.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Howard. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2008 Nissan Xterra X 2WD with 24,000 miles (Average), prices range from $13,000 (being in above average condition) to $12,400 (being in average condition) and $11,800 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,200 to $14,800. Private seller should range around +5%-10% above wholesale prices.

The $13,500 that the dealers is asking for this Xterra is not bad, however you should always try to negotiate a little more. You should try to negotiate for under $13,000. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.
