After you posted the auction # on MKZ's, the dealer dropped their listing price $1500.

Not sure if I will try to sell outright or via Carfax. Need to do some more research on that. Have you noticed them giving good deals?
Thank you so much for all of your help
do you mean carmax? Always worth a shot. Check vroom and carvana, too.

How much time needs to be alloted for Carvana and Vroom?

You are right near that level where I feel selling privately is not worth it (in NJ). Trade for that number and you'll get $828 tax credit towards the new one. So now you have to beat $13,328 on a private sale. As shifty said, new tires and a detail needed... so that's gonna run you $650 or so on the low end. Now you need $14k for it. Any advertising costs? Add that to the bill. Your time and energy and entertaining tire kickers, not to mention the gas involved there and delivering it with a full tank. Personally, now I'm not letting it go for less than $14.5k. That is a tough sale private party.

The low miles is a plus, though. People do shop for low miles.

So, anyone have the ability to chime in on what a fair 3rd party sales price could be?
Maybe what offers I should expect to get from a dealer for trade or sale?
Also, any suggestions as to anything that could raise the value or when particularly would be a good time to sell considering all of the comparable 2016 IS200t & 300t 3yr/36k leases are coming back to the local dealers right now which have right around the same mileage as this vehicle which is 1-year older, since I left it in the garage for a 13-months & didn't end up driving it at all of the 4-years i've owned it.. Reason being is that I was offered $10k more at one dealership @ $29k (trade in-value) & another @ $19k as trade in against a 2019 IS 350 F-SPORT RWD w/ML (since there's literally ZERO AWD models in AZ as of lately) & all the goodies + lane departure & triple beam headlights! Sometimes these situations make you wonder who's getting screwed over & who's getting the deal of a lifetime, ya know!?!
I'm severely confused as to why there's a $10k difference in the trade pricing they're offering and what kinda tricks they might have up their sleeve when it comes to "rolling the cash into another vehicle" or whether I should just put it up for private party sale & see if I can squeeze a little extra cash out of it on top of what I believe it's currently worth in regards to trade-value.
All this being said, I'm hoping & looking to you folks for a 3rd & maybe even a 4th opinion on the most optimal idea to get the most value out of this vehicle as i've been extremely satisfied with it over the 49-months i've owned it however it's to the point now where i'm over the 36k warranty & literally just want to move on to a newer Lexus or even potentially a newer Toyota considering the projected residual values I've been able to pull from the internet recently as the Lexus vehicles have dropped by roughly 10-20% in 4-year whereas some Toyota's are as high as 63-68% after 3-years & 36k miles!
Let me know your thoughts & please don't hold back. The more information you're able to provide, the more likely you'll be able to help us make a decision on what our next move is here when it comes to "keepin' it in the LFS/TFS family" because that's just what we've always done & that's what we will continue to do as long as they keep manufacturing such amazingly reliable vehicles!

Thank in advance for your time & brutal honesty friends!
Regards,
But in your case, if the 2019 is comparably priced, take the higher offer. There is also a saying, when trading in on a new car: "the only difference, is the difference". What is the net cash due for each of those deals? Though you probably should decide first if that is what you want to buy, since you don't seem sure.

You did not specify, but I’m assuming AWD.
If I price it as “crafted line” I come up with $23k, tops.

Well, then, it ain't EVERY option now (except ML audio), is it?
No AWD drops the value another $2k. No idea where the $29k offer came from.

So it turns out this vehicle is an F-SPORT after all but for some reason some dealers or brokers are not able to see the 2015 IS 250 (F-SPORT) package in their system which makes absolute sense at to why the difference is so far off when it comes to the pricing of the different locations now. I knew there was something odd going on there. Thanks for the clarification here friends! I really do appreciate everyone help & sorry for the confusion and/or potential frustration the really long paragraph and my inability to paraphrase/summarize may have caused you @qbrozen ... I didn't intend to cause unnecessary frustration in to your day buddy. Thanks for all your help!
If anyone has anything they'd like to add, or if the quote you're giving is still accurate at between $19k & $21k; i'm all for it! I'm open to all feedback other than the obvious, "STFU & STOP WRITING SO MUCH IN THE BLOG" --till then, have a great week everyone! (shutting up for now & switching to "sponge mode"!

Drove a Encore yesterday at work and it seemed fine to me. Accelerated o k and the audio system was a bit on the weak side but besides that, was just fine. Drove a Trax last week and think the Buick does the interior better but again, they charge more.

Ouch is right. What's the deal with that Q?
A Prius V V of similar vintage is worth 60% more
