Not really. Problem is, if selling private party, it is a barrier that creates a smaller market. But, speaking strictly of value, it doesn't make a difference.
 
Here is a sample to consider.
 
12/28/12 DFW Regular $6,800 90,503 Avg GREY 4H A
12/13/12 ATLANTA Regular $7,000 97,196 Avg BLUE 4H A
12/06/12 TX HOBBY Regular $6,850 100,118 Avg BLUE 4H A
12/28/12 DALLAS Regular $7,700 103,934 Avg WHITE 4H A

I have just about no data to go on, but about 3 months ago, one with 95k sold for 5700. So figure, at best, that's $5k trade-in. Given the time that has passed and the extra miles on yours, you'd probably get a $4k offer and maybe possibly push it to 4500. Looks like NYcarguy wins the raffle.

Thank you all very much. I think I'll hold onto it and try to sell it myself.

Either way, let us know how it works out.

yeah... if you put it up for sale, let us know.. I'd be interested to see what it brings, since I'm local...

Happy & healthy new year to you my friend! I need your expertise & assistance once again. My book keeper recently had an accident with her 2006 Toyota Highlander. There is $7900 worth of damage & GEICO wants to fix the car! Let me give you the specs & see what you can come up with as far as a value goes (in average condition):
 
2006 Toyota Highlander
V6
FWD
Baby Blue
Grey Leather
3 rows of seats
100,000 miles
Bronx, NY
 
I only found 1 for sale on autotrader (excellent condition naturally) within 100 miles of here with 121K listed for almost $11 grand. I gotta believe they paid what $8K at auction (or on a trade)?
 
Thanks as always!

I can't help you with what it is worth but Insurance companies payout retail when they total a car. So if the car is worth more than 7800 retail (including any sales tax ) they will want to fix it rather than total it

that is one of my fears now that we have a new, relatively expensive car (an RDX). We could have one heck of an accident, and it would still make financial sense to fix it.

Would appreciate a current wholesale value of the following:
 
2010 Saab 9-5 Aero, 20K miles, with NAV
Color: Silver
19 inch wheels
Louisiana Area
Great condition.
 
Don't know how many of these have went over auction since only a few hundred of the 2010s were built for the USA.
 
Thanks!

Even if it doesn't make financial sense - they may still fix it. Back in 2003 I was in an accident with my Accord. By the time it was fixed, the insurance had sunk about $10K into a vehicle worth about $12K. In 2005, I was hit again. Damage was about $7K on a vehicle worth about $9k (per books) but the insurance insisted on fixing it. The body shop said it was because they had sunk so much into it the first time, they weren't willing to total it.
