Yep. Frontier usually has pretty good resale and large SUV prices have been tracking upward for the last couple of months.

Probably $7-8,000 on a trade. Figure another $2-3k for private party.

Gotta agree w/ del. Once a car has been damaged and repaired it is no longer considered to be in top condition. Even if you can't tell the difference in the repair a pro could. Plus you have the added whammy of a bad Carfax report. Retail buyers stay away from those cars so that will cost you $$.
 
Unmolested, the truck would bring low $20's on a trade. With a bad Carfax maybe high teens.

Both cars are clean with good rubber and maintenance.

Thanks for the info. That's pretty much spot on from the two dealerships I visited last week. The GMC dealer offered $18700 and the Ford dealer offered ~$20k when pushed. Though that was before I put tires on it.
 
Guess I should have pushed for more than $1000 from her insurance for the vehicle value reduction...
 
Do you think the truck would be a tough sale $23k private party if I disclosed the accident up front and had pictures and documentation to back up all that was done?

I just sold a 22,000 mile 2007 V70R six speed with basketball leather, extra set of wheels with snow tires, roof rack, and a few other extras that was completely perfect for $28,800 certified.

The Altima was sideswiped in a parking lot. Basically there is a dented streak across both doors.
 
So, $6000 is fair for an Altima with that type of damage? How come KBB is $1500 off real world numbers?
 
Thanks, Volvomax.

If the Ford dealer is offering 20k after seeing the carfax report,,my opinion would be that it is is the best offer possible.With time,the value will go down significantly especially with a bad carfax.Even 19k is a good deal in MHO.
Just curious,what are you planning to buy if you are trading in this?
Also 23k from a private party would be tough as they would be cautious about the carfax and financing also would be tough and very few people pay outright cash for that much amount.
Do you own the truck completely or is their any loan/lien on it or do you have any negative equity?
Good luck and keep us posted.

As Vmax and others would tell you-KBB,Nada,Edmunds TMV,blackbook-- these are just guides.A rough estimate..Take the average of all these and you reach an average rough estimate value for your trade.The main purpose of these guides are just to get a rough estimate,so that you are aware if the dealer quotes you outrageous prices.
Plus these guides are updated slowly and so they are back by a few months.
Vmax gives us the real auction values--what these cars are going for right now at the auction--and thus his values are the most accurate.
Hope this helps.
