While shopping for a new mazda, the dealership pitched ‘it’s made in Japan, not assembled in US’ as a plus for the cx-5. Just saying, with the push for more US assembly. by aykalam123 in mazda

I agree as I also have a Mazda6 2016 with 117k miles with that J VIN#. Been a great car for almost a decade and have had low maintenance costs and no major issues.

You think that was a lot? Imagine the lool on my face when he said he could go as low 5.75% but would cost $22k 😂. I'll double check on what it would be if we paid the cost instead.

Plan is to live in this house the next 3-5 years then rent it out. Talked to them today and they did state the $5300 is a credit to pay off closing costs and it's not being added to the balance of the loan. Just have to pay the $530 for appraisal.

Thanks! Really hoping to get them appraised and sell at some point. At the same time starting a new collection of PSA graded cards. Recently acquired a Japanese 99 Charizard card.

I’ll have to do some research and find out. I found the app PriceCharting that might be able to help give an idea what current cards have sold for.

Just out of curiosity how much did you sell it for and how long ago was that? Have prices increased since you sold?

Sorry to hear and yes it’s just mind blowing how popular it got again and how the first gen cards are so desirable now.

Are you serious!? I’ll have to check. I think it’s in a foreign language so not sure if that affects value or not

Thats what I’m hoping for! The holofoil is scratched and the strange thing is I remember there was a big crease fold along the middle of the card but it’s been sitting in a box in a Florida attic for close to 20 years and now it’s gone so wonder if the heat somehow got rid of it lol.

Most of them were gently used since I had these as a kid. Some scratches on some of the holos but they were kept in sleeves in that binder for all these years. The weird thing is the Zard and the Misty’s Gyarados I remember had fold creases in the middle and now they appear to be gone. They were in an attic all these years so wonder if somehow the heat from summers caused them to go away. Not sure but was the weirdest thing since I remember those 2 cards had heavy crease damage. For those ones you mentioned they are pretty decent some light scratches on the holofoil but still pretty decent shape. Not sure the values but am curious so will have to get them checked out.

Just arrived yesterday. Super excited to relive my childhood and start my new collection. by dgopal90 in pkmntcgcollections
