Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Oct 09, 2008 3:01 pm) I'd say about $1000 off. But...you eliminate a lot of potential buyers. You'd be better off selling a car like that to a college student, so that might limit your asking price to a few grand. In other words, it's acceptable in a beater, but not acceptable in any car that the buyer would have to finance.

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 11, 2008 5:53 am) My own car has a bad compressor clutch. It's buried. About a $700 repair. Car's only worth around $1500-1700. I'll just live with the windows down.

I need to trade in my 2001 Lexus RX300 and I'm wondering what I can expect to get from a dealer. I live on Long Island, NY, a suburb of NYC. The vehicle is an 2001 Lexus RX300 AWD with 88,000 miles. It has all the normal bells and whistles, including factory installed navigation and a 6 disc CD changer. It is in excellent condition with one or two very small dings and clean leather with no rips. Clean title and has never been in a accident or had an insurance claim. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know SUV's have taken a hit in value; anyone with input on trade-in value for a 2007 XC90 V8, 16k miles, pretty much loaded (nav, dvd, climate pkg, conv. pkg.) Denver area, if it helps. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to buy a 2007 Sonata GLS 4 cyl., auto., silver, sunroof, power drivers seat, 37K miles, new tires, asking price is $11,995, in Oklahoma City. I got the Carfax report, and it's a former rental, with no problems that I could see. Could you tell me the wholesale value on that? TIA.

Hi, I was hoping that someone can help me evaluate trade-in value of my car. I don't think my situation is unique but this is the first time that I am considering to trade in a vehicle that was involved in an accident. Location: Washington DC area 2003/BMW/325i 4dr, auto, 35k miles, black Options: only options were auto, sun-roof The car is in an excellent shape. However about 3 years ago I was involved in collision in/out of shopping center. At the time my insurance nearly determined that my car was considered "totaled". However the "final" estimate determined that it was ~$2,000 below the threshold level of considering it "totaled" so I ended up getting my car repaired instead of receiving a check. At the end of the repair, the final cost was $2,500 higher than what was originally estimated. Needless to say had I known, I would have received an amount that was worth my vehicle. I appreciate any input/response on my vehicle trade in value.

Replying to: mattandi (Oct 11, 2008 6:43 am) That's just about in the middle between the poster who said "car is worth zero" and the "$1000 off" figure. That's about what I figured for a newer car. Usually I see the A/C statement in the old beater cars where $700 is the bulk of the price. Most sellers would fix a busted A/C on a newer model. I don't think I would buy a car newer than 5 y/o if the A/C was busted. Thanks to all of you for the info. |
