Hi. I'm a new member and this is my first post. I think I understood all the posting guidelines so I hope I'm not asking a question that's out of bounds. I'm trying to figure out whether to take a CarMax offer on my '05 Pacifica. Here are the facts: DC area '05 Pacifica Touring, FWD, Butane Blue, 59 K miles Purchased in May '04 even though it's an '05 Traction control, power liftgate, power moonroof and F&R side airbags No major damage but needs 60K service, new front tires, has two windshield chips, and a scratch or two Interior in excellent shape Supposed trade-in values are as follows: KBB good - $9,800 NADA - $13,375 Edmunds TMV clean - $11,315 CarMax has offered an even $10,000. Another place that does a lot of radio advertising and claims they beat most CarMax offers gave an over the phone estimate of between $8,000 and $9,000. Could do a private party sale but not sure I have the time and inclination for that. On the other hand, and the one thing that gives me pause, is the retail pricing I see around here. Other '05s seem to be listed for between $15k and $20K depending on miles, AWD, DVD etc., and one big dealership that I think specializes in tough credit has about 20 priced between $20k and $24k. But I don't know if they're actually selling. When I look at completed listings on eBay, of 100 Pacificas recently listed only 16 sold and none were too too out of line with Edmunds - though vehicles in FL seemed to go for a bit more. So, the bottom line question - and I know it's ultimately my decision - do I take the easy way out and sell for $10k - no hassle. Or do I try to do a private party sale. If it only nets me a little more I lean towards no hassle. OTOH, if I can really get $15 or $16k that's another story. Many thanks for any advice.

Replying to: gatorboy2 (Dec 28, 2007 7:44 am) Personally, I like this car more at $9,000 than $10,000. You probably could get more private party,but probably not alot more. |

Replying to: gatorboy2 (Dec 28, 2007 7:44 am) A buyer will probably have to fix the windshield to get it to pass inspection, and there's a $600 or so 60k mile service that they would pretty much have to schedule the day they buy the car. Sell it quick before they come to their senses.
