Carmax said the transmission was going out (it wasn't), and offered $9k. Their biggest competitor in this area, Texas Direct Auto, came in at $13.5k. And I think she has a private party sale lined up at $16k, so that's all looking good.

Friend wants to settle estate and sell a vehicle to a relative at a "fair" price that will satisfy other relatives that no unusual "deals" were made.
Vehicle is:
2012 Ford Escape Hybrid, AWD, auto., usual basic options, not a limited, no leather, no nav. Car is in San Francisco area, miles are approx. 60,000. Condition is "fair", clean CARFAX, 2 owners.
Car has DAMAGE, which always make things harder.
r/r door -- long deep crease, door length + peach size dent up top
r/f door -- short continuation of crease from r/r door
r/f fender -- small fist size dent
rear bumper -- paint peeling in spots, tweaked a little at seam
l/f fender --small fist size dent
Interior -- intact but stained cloth seats and headliner
Engine-- runs well, engine bay dusty and unkempt.
No structural damage was noted--this is all sheet metal.
My reasoning on this is $21-$23K dealer retail/ $12K-$14K dealer wholesale.
So, to sell to a relative without any drama from the siblings, what price?
I was guessing about $15,000. Seems to me that's a pretty fair discount for bodywork.
I can post some photos if needed.
Thanks!

seems like a better idea is to shop it at a couple of places for a buy bid (carmax, a ford dealer, local lot) and get a real idea that way. and let the relative pay the best of those, and if they don't want it, sell it off.

I'm not sure how cars end up like this---this car must have cost what? $32K when new?
I think the family just has one person who is interested, so they want to make sure the estate isn't short-changed in any way. I can understand that, and the executor does have a responsibility to act fairly.

Sweat equity so to speak. Buy for $10K, and if it turns out really nice, turn it for $17K.
but I'm pretty much done flippin' cars, so let someone else have all the fun.
I appreciate everyone's feedback!

Looking at the CarFax report:
http://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistory/p/Report.cfx?partner=DLR_3&vin=2C4RC1BG0GR206157
This was a rental vehicle, right here in Texas. I am guessing it probably went through an auction to wind up at a Nissan dealership, even though that doesn’t show on the Carfax report.
Could you take a quick look and see if it shows up on any auction report?
Thanks as always,

Odd (to me anyway, I don't know BMWs very well) that the VIN sequence past the initial 5 letters is so different between the two -- one is five digits and the other is a combination of four numbers and letters. Oh well. . .

Probably about $6k with those miles. Could be less but I'm giving you the Honda bump.

Which, of course, is one reason why I usually have at least 3 or 4 computers sitting around. Just in case. I used to pay for Comcast cable internet and AT&T Uverse internet, just to have a backup plan. But they kept raising the rates, and the service(s) kept getting more reliable, so today I only have Comcast.
thanks for the well wishes. I think I am past the worst of it, but still a ways to go.
