I think you just answered your own question. If the car you are looking at is fully loaded, and has some expensive customizations (aftermarket wheels, a fancy stereo system, custom paint job, etc), it might be worth $13,000. Otherwise, it isn't worth anywhere near 13 grand. A brand new 2010 model maxes out at $17, 900. Even if you got the $18,000 model brand new, it would only be worth $15-16k the second you drove it off of the dealer's lot.

24,000 miles is the average mileage for a 2 year old car. If the car is only 1 year old, that is too many miles. Either way, $13,000 is a rip off. As you said, you could get a brand new one for around $14,000.

Which trim line? Which options? What condition? A fully loaded sport in outstanding condition might be worth $16,000. The base model in average condition, maybe $10,000.
