#630 of 649 Re: '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2WD, original owner [igozoomzoom] by sebring95 Jul 22, 2009 (5:50 am)
Replying to: igozoomzoom (Jul 22, 2009 2:07 am) If it was 4wd it'd bring strong money, but a 2wd Jeep is about as desirable as the plague. $2,000 maybe...1,500 is probably realistic but you never know until you ask.

Replying to: igozoomzoom (Jul 22, 2009 1:48 am) Thanks again for all of the input. I did look around and there aren't a lot of comps in the area (there are a lot of sedans, but not hatchbacks. probably not the best sign). I found an 07 LX Sedan nearby, 41000 mi, W/O power accessories listed by a dealer at 9977. I found another 07 LX SEdan w/power accessories and 24000 mi at 10997. I finally found an 08 RIo5 LX w/o power accessories, with 5800 miles at 11,575.     What do all of the posters think of starting at 9,999 (I really cannot go lower, though, than 9550 during negotiations). Thanks.
#634 of 649 97 Nissan Pathfinder XE by gsemike Aug 06, 2009 (5:15 am)
Trouble pricing my car for private sale. It's a 97 Nissan Pathfinder XE, which is the completely loaded top of the line model including leather interior, dual 8 way heated power seats, moonroof, alloys, Bose stereo. It's only got 85k on it which is about half of what every other one has on it and runs very nice. The michelin tires have about 10k miles on it and the water pump, starter, battery and rear suspenstion bushings are all replaced in the last two years. Realistically, mechanically it needs nothing. All the power accesories work and the AC is ridiculously cold.   It also has steps, a moonroof visor and remote start.   So what is wrong? On the paint on the passenger side, there are some issues with the clear on the fender and both doors. It's just on the top so it doesn't look horrendous but close up it's an issue. I guess if it was a show car, you'd call it a 20 footer because if you drive by and see it sitting in the driveway, it looks really clean. There is also a rust spot in front of the back tire on the passenger side which seems to be a common problem spot for this car.   If I had the passenger side sprayed, it would be a really clean car but I'd rather not go through the effort and expense to sell it.   Here is a sample of the model (not my actual car) Replies to this message: deltheking (Aug 06, 2009 6:44 am) gsemike (Aug 06, 2009 9:17 am)

Replying to: gsemike (Aug 06, 2009 5:15 am) And what`s your query?? But yes,not worth repainting or doing anything to that 12yr old Pathy.Sell it "AS IS" and disclose all the info to the buyer.Should be an easy sell on Craigslist with a good price..Let us know.

Replying to: deltheking (Aug 06, 2009 6:44 am) I'm thinking it's worth 4 grand? How does that sound?
#638 of 649 New tires before selling? by sockpuppet1969 Sep 07, 2009 (4:29 am)
I am selling a 2006 Honda CRV SE. The care is in good condition all around. The only blemish is a very small crack in the rear bumper that is only visible with the rear door open. It otherwise looks and runs like new. The tires are Goodyear Tripletreds - expensive tires, but they are nearing the end of their lifespan. Do you all think it is worth it to put new tires, albeit much less expensive ones, on the car before trying to sell? Is there any return on that investment other than possibly selling faster or would I just be wasting money?

Replying to: sockpuppet1969 (Sep 07, 2009 4:29 am) I would probably leave them alone and as a part of the negotiation. I'd make it clear it is just about due for new tires and you'll consider that in the negotiation. I personally would rather give you $300 less and let ME buy the tires I want vs potentially buying the vehicle with tires I didn't want from an unknown source. If someone wants YOU to buy the tires, then do that after the deal is struck. Some folks won't want to be bothered with it, but at least they'll have the choice as well.
