Well the whole trade in thing doesn't mean a whole lot to me other than the fact that it will make it cheaper for me to buy. I plan on using what ever I buy as a daily driver for 2 years, then 'retire' it to winter use (to save the Camaro from that fate). By the time I'm done with it it will be a decade old, and there won't be much value left in any 10 year old daily driver.
Oh, and EllwynX, the Alero is related to the Malibu and the Grand Am. The Regal is a step up in size, up with the grand prix, impala, and so on. I wouldn't rule out the bigger cars, but only the supercharged 3.8L V6's such as the Grand Prix GTP. Unfortuantely they also cost more so I'd have to look back to 1998 or so. And the added age means more maintance costs.
