Was looking at Auto Trader site Monday night to maybe list it when I clicked on KBB buy your car or something like that. I entered the basic info and they sent a bid of $3741 from a Chevy dealer a half hour away. Guy from dealer emailed and we spoke on phone about the van. Would have never thought of Chevy dealer for the van. It was total luck I stumbled on that site.
I took it to the dealer yesterday and their buyer drove it and service looked at it. He offered $4500, I said it should be an easy private sale for $5k or more but I would take $4900 to avoid hassle of sale. He said OK and they did the paperwork while my wife made the trip to pick me up. I was amazed how quick and easy it was without any games and they never complained about the two CarFax dings I told them about.
The wife was dreading the ordeal of having people look, get paid and transferred with the Clerk's office not open to public. She was happy to be in and out in about 10 minutes with more money than she expected.

Greetings and salutations, long time no see. I thought I would report in on this present insanity.
Last year, in August, I became very ill and spent a week in the hospital. I decided to retire, and enjoy life a little. At that time I had two vehicles, a 2018 F150 XLT Supercrew (purchased new) and a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country (purchased 1 year old). I considered selling off the truck, and did a little exploration. At that time (September of 2020, about 7 months ago) my estimation was that I could get about $27k or possibly $28k.
Fast forward, yesterday morning, I read a story on CNN, you may have seen it:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/21/business/car-prices-record-high-short-supply/index.html
“Wholesale prices for used cars sold at auction are up 26% since the start of this year, according to other data from JD Power. “
Really? Do tell. I did some quick online searches, and was completely astonished at what Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds were showing me for the value of my truck. KBB said $40,789 to $44,876 for private sale. Edmunds said $37,650. I took two quick pictures, paid $5 to post on Craigslist, and asked $37,500. In less than 24 hours, I had sold the truck to a local dealer for my asking price. That amounts to $10k more than it was worth 7 months ago, and about $4.5k more than I paid for the truck, brand new, about 34 months ago.
This is almost as good as the VW Diesel deal from a few years back.
Can you provide any further info on this vehicle for me . What price range should I start my offer at for a 2019 mustang Echo Boost base no added options , white/black int , 25,623 miles , one owner ,clean fax. Outstanding in / out. ?

Glad you are doing better and I guess that F150 was able to keep all its' fenders?
This one, however, has a title problem per Autocheck. I can’t give details because I don’t have paid access. This is all I have:

You made out like a bandit with the truck! Congrats.

In my old age, I'm finally realizing that all the things that make a car pleasant on long drives are pretty much useless to me, since my median trip is two miles....and if it's nice out, I ride a bicycle anyway. In other words, the biggest luxury item is a small aluminum engine that blows warm air after a few hundred yards... all the other gimmicks pale in comparison, and Subaru seat heaters are pretty much a joke anyway. As opposed to the 2012 Ford Fusion SEL I bought a year ago... that will leave a waffle grid on your butt if you leave it on high. I'll probably miss that car when it's gone, but I wanted a manual while they still exist.

After almost three years my car has less than 23,000 miles on the clock, and it has one small, shallow dent (paint not broken) and some curb rash on two wheels. Everything else is in great shape, but to keep things real let's say that it's in Black Book 'Average' condition. I live in Massachusetts (and so does my car.)
I'm almost at the end of a three-year lease and my lease buyout is currently $16,746. How much do you think a Honda dealer would offer me to trade in my car against the lease of a new 2021 Honda vehicle? Thanks for your advice.
But get appraisals from Carmax/Carvana/Vroom and have them in hand when you go to the dealer.

As a quick example, 2 weeks ago I sold my 2016 Chrysler Town and Country and purchased a 2019 Pacifica. Two different car dealers offered me right at $12.5k as a trade in. Carmax and Vroom were within a few dollars of each other, right around $15.6k. Carvana came in at $16,696 and they now have my T&C.
It will only take you a few minutes to get an offer from each of the 3, and it is well worth your trouble and places you under absolutely no obligation.

Not really. Only one sold at auction in recent months. It was back in early April, had 10k miles, and sold for $65,500.
So, compared to that one, this is a great deal.

Possibly- if they will drop at least $3k.

So I went and looked at the M2. The Cadillac store was closed so I just did a walk around. It does look brand new(which it should) More weirdness: it has the $2,500 M Drivers Package which got the PO a day at the BMW PC and a 174 mph top speed(instead of the silly 155 mph limiter). I’m at least going to test drive it, although having to negotiate with that flakey dealer is discouraging.

Well, yes, that is too much. But does it matter to this person? Even if it were $42k, does that make it better? It is burning money either way. BTW, the equivalent Lexus LX570 is $5k less on average.
