The SXT has the 3.5 V6. I'm sorry but I think that you made a big mistake buying that car. With racing stripes and huge wheels, it's just a poser with the V6. It's probably going to be hard to try to find anyone that wants it. Make a profit? No way.

This is particularly puzzling to me, as certain local suburban police departments around here use Chargers as their official vehicles.

Real World Value 2007 Kia Rio5 SX by wide1

HI,
 
I am thinking of selling my Kia Rio5 SX with 24000 miles, A/T, power accessories. I had a used car manager rate it as "clean" and I would rate it as being in excellent condition (I've babied it, because it is my first car). I am in no rush to sell, but would like to get out of it in order to save money in the short term and long term use my car payment savings toward a down payment for a step up. My question is this, the kbb and the edmunds prices for the car are pretty far apart. Any sense of what might be a good starting point for pricing the car? Thanks

What did the used car manager tell you was trade-in value? You can start $2k-$2500 over that.

Thanks, I got two appraisals. One at 7500 and the other at 7750; so, I guess I'll start at 10,250 and see what happens.

You may take into account the the trade-in numbers you got may have been inflated, in the hope that you pay more for the new car.
 
Would you pay over 10k (before taxes and registration) for a 3+ year old Korean subcompact when you can get a base Nissan Versa with automatic for 12k (again, before taxes and registration)?

Thanks, that offers some perspective. Though these were the initial appraisals that moved up quite a bit in hopes I would move out of the car. Not sure if that matters, though. Edmunds Price on the car is 10,384 and KBB is at about 9250. I've read some people argue that you should take kbb and add 10% as an opening price, which brings these two close. Your point still stands, though. Since I am not in a hurry to sell, I guess I'll start at the initial number with the expectation that I'll have to adjust in a couple weeks.

When I price it, here’s what I get-
 
Edmunds Private Party Value- $9,863
KBB.com Private Party- $9205 (Excellent Cond) or $8655 (Good Cond)
NADA.com Retail Value (Clean)- $9,375
 
That w/ 24k miles, pw, pdl, alloy wheels, automatic and ABS.
 
Go to AutoTrader.com and do a search for the Kia Rio5, 2007-2007, and choose a search range of 500 miles (to get more results). In Atlanta, Carmax has one with the same specs as yours (23k miles) for $9988. A few private sellers are $9700-$9800…that will give you a better idea of what’s realistic in your market.

'95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2WD, original owner by igozoomzoom

My mom bought an '07 Explorer last year and doesn't use her '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee any longer. I've debated whether to try to sell it for or just keep it for myself as a 2nd vehicle....it's in excellent condition, drives great, but it has 205,000 miles on it. The 4.0L I-6 may have another 100k left in it (the transmission probably doesn't, but who knows).
 
KBB puts the value at $2.640 (Private Party, Good Condition)
Edmunds isn’t so kind- TMV Private Party- $1,136
NADA Clean Retail- $2,850
 
I've bought and sold 12-13 cars over the years, so I have realistic expectations...but it seems like a solid $2500 SUV to me! Thoughts?

It`s a 15 yr old SUV with 205k miles.A ticking time bomb.Anything can happen.1500 max would be offered by the buyer,I think.
Again if it`s good,no point in selling it..Drive it into the ground or till something major blows up.
My advice,MHO-keep the Jeep,drive it till it dies,then junk it for about 300.
