WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE THE VALUE OF MY USED CAR?

I am selling a 2005 mustang saleen and think I have it priced too low!! What is the best way to determine the value of the car?|||By using Kbb and here is the link: http://www.kbb.com/used-cars|||You should do a search of other comparable cars in the area. Keep in mind that a car in a high density areas will likely sell faster than those in rural areas.





You should find as many comparable cars as you can to get a good idea of a baseline cost. You should throw out the values of the highest and lowest priced cars in a list of over 10 comps.





Also you may call other sellers , private and dealers, to see what they are charging for thier cars, and what the lowest price they would accept is, you might have to pose as a buyer to get credible information.





Kellys blue book kbb is not completely unreliable because it gives you a baseline from where to start negotiations.|||Kelly blue book. Very reliable website|||go to ebaymotors and see the auction prices|||KBB is useless , their prices are always too high.





google " edmunds.com" it is much better.|||look at other peoples adds, duh...

What is the best used car value?

Make, model, mileage, etc.|||Honda Accord %26lt;50K miles|||Depends on price.





One can buy 2-3 american used cars for the price of one import.





The imports are better cars, But the american used cars may be better VALUES.|||2007/2008 Hyundai - Sonata - 30,000mi. $10,500 to $11,500.





Will still have warranty for 5 years and to 50K





Made in the U.S.A.|||toyota corolla=honda civic-good mileage-keeps retail value

HELP! what is the best valued used car to buy?

I haven't had a car for last 10yrs. now I need one soon due to relocation to L.A. but I want to have an idea what is the best way to buy a used car or even lease a car? whichever is the best economic and not having to deal with car problems.|||Two suggestions:





1 Carmax or another no haggle dealer. Makes it easy and the price is good if not GREAT. You can get cheaper if you're a very good negotiator but you have to be very good and do a lot of home work to know what the value of the vehicle is and what the financing rates are.





2 Best used car value for the money is probably the Chrysler Pacifica. With 25 to 40K miles they are anywhere from 13,000 to 23,000 depending on options. It gets about 18 miles to the gallon city, 28 highway and sits 6 adults 7 children. Only negative on this vehicle is blind spots.





Avoid leasing if you want to have the car for more than three years. You can get into a nice car cheap but don't get any equity for the next vehicle and the purchase price at the end leaves you spending more than if you bought the car outright to begin with. If you plan on only having it a year or two it is a good way to go. Pay the extra up front for 15,000 miles. The 12,000 will get you started but you'll pay more for the overage.|||Get a Honda Civic. Great gas mileage like 35Mpg and will never break down. Long lasting. Also toyota corolla.|||Honda's are definitely long lasting. I know plenty of people who buy used ones.|||Honda's and Toyota's have some of the best long-term reliability out there.|||Toyota is very good.

What is a kelley blue book wholesale value on a used car?

I see a kelley blue book private party trade in, a retail, and a trade in value, so which one is it if I am financing and the credit union says that they will finance the amount of wholesale value of the car?|||Wholesale value is down around (or less than) the trade in value. Expect dealers to try and give MUCH less than trade in value.|||The amount depends on the age and wear of the car...here is a link. Look up the make and model of your car.

What is appropriate amount of profit on a used car?

If trade in value is 9000 and dealer is asking for 19000, what should I say to dealer. You know he didnt give more than trade value for a used car.|||You should offer below what you are willing to pay with the objective of negotiating up to what you want to pay.





On a $19,000 used car, I would guess you would do well to get it for about $2000-2500 above wholesale. And the most you can expect for your old car is about wholesale, less reconditioning costs to make it "front line ready".





PS, just because you can access KBB %26amp; NADA online for free doesn't make you an expert in car valuation. 85% of dealers don't use either.





Im assuming the above mentioned $19,000 car still has a factory warranty. if not and the dealer includes any kind of warranty, the approximate cost to the dealer will be added to the amount they have to make.





Let me ask you a question, if you invested $17,000, had overhead, a salesman keeping 25% of the profit, would you be willing to sell it for a gross profit of 9% after salesmans commission but before any overhead ?





The Pizza you happily pay $12 for costs $2.50-3.25 in ingredients.
