19. We traded in our 2013 Ford C Max Hybrid this spring.

We loved it. had over 130,000 miles, pristine condition. Dealer gave us 5K for it, then put it online for 7K and it was gone in no time. The only reason we traded it in was because my husband felt the transmission was slipping. And sure enough, the dealer questioned us on it as soon as he took it out but turned around and put it on the lot anyway. Loved that car. We got a 2025 Kia Niro……….still getting used to it. We are seniors and don’t take the car trips we used to so this will be fine. Must say though, the electronics are way more than the C Max and that was loaded.
