Hello--curious about what I could expect to get for the above vehicle in metro Atlanta with:
5.7L V8, RWD 25,000 miles (it sits a lot of the time) Tan exterior/Charcoal interior No major options, standard with rear parking sensors, auto climate control, alloys New Michelin LTX MS2 tires bought in April of this year, only have a few thousand miles on them Dealer maintained since new A couple of dings and scratches in line with a 5 year old car (bought December 2007) No wrecks or damage (would have a clean 1 owner Carfax report)
I did an online Autotrader Trade-in offer on Monday and it came back at $15,796. Edmunds says as a "Clean" trade in it should be worth $15,847. I assume I could expect something in this range?
I think maybe the low miles are throwing off the online free appraisers. Examples in warm climates with 40k'ish miles are fetching $18k+ at the auctions, with a couple of lower outliers. Considering your miles, I'd be looking for near $18k trade.

38k?? Wow. There are zero comparables for this. All the 50k mile cars are right about $17k at the block, which would mean around $16k trade. With your miles, I could see $17k trade value.

Hello, we are looking to buy the vehicle below. The seller is asking for $5000. We are confused as to its try real time value. We checked KBB (which says its GOOD value is $6400 and FAIR is $5700) and Edmunds says at AVERAGE, it is at $2800 and CLEAN is $3400. Don't know what to believe because if we paid $5000 and the true value is from Edmunds, that is a major difference in the value and what we paid.

My opinion....a vehicle that old with that low of mileage will never get an accurate book value. They're just not designed for that and you won't get good auction values from this type of vehicle either. This is just going to have to be a gut-check from you....is it worth what they're asking? I would say it get it checked out by a good mechanic and go from there. I don't think their price is out of line if the mechanical condition reflects a 25k mile car and it hasn't been through a flood or anything. I've seen some real garbage for sale for not much less money.
Hey--just as a follow up, I took $17k for it at a Toyota dealer in Atlanta. I didn't tell them about other offers or online estimates. They offered $17k and I said okay. I was happy--not ecstatic, but happy. Thanks for your help.

Looking to Trade or Sell Private Party. I see similar vehicles listed on Craigslist for $10K.
I've finally talked to my mom into trading her gas-guzzler 2007 Ford Explorer for something more reliable and more fuel-efficient. I'm planning to take it to Carmax and another local mega-dealership that will buy used vehicles. I'm also planning to see what the Acura, Hyundai and Nissan dealers will offer if she does a trade-in on a new car (looking at the TSX, Sonata and Altima).
I used the 'Appraise My Car' feature here on Edmunds and it returned a Trade-In Value of $9,906. I'm wondering if that's a fairly realistic figure or if it's overly optimistic?
Here are the details on the vehicle-
2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 2WD 4.0L V6 Dark Cherry Metallic w/ Tan lower trim Camel Leather interior 134,500 miles Optional features - Audiophile 7-spkr stereo, 6CD changer Power passenger seat Power Adjustable Pedals Memory for Driver's Seat, Pedals & Mirrors Dual-zone Automatic Climate Control Heated Front Seats & Side Mirrors Steering Wheel Audio, Climate & Cruise controls Homelink remote Power Moonroof Split Power-Folding 3rd Row Seat Rear Auxiliary Climate Controls Reverse Sensing System
Condition- Exterior- Very Good (no damage, shiny paint & chrome, no dings) Interior- Very Good (clean carpet & seats, leather looks like new)
And if it matters, it has a new set of $800 Bridgestone 60k tires with 8k miles on them.
You might want to add your location...can be a big swing in 2wd prices between Michigan and Florida/Arizona.... my gut says $9,900 is on the high side at least here in Ohio. 2wd's will easily be $2k less than a 4wd version here...sometimes far more. The books don't always calculate the high mileage charges properly either.
If you are in the process of car shopping, using online forums and tools and plan to visit a dealer soon, a reporter would like to hear from you. Please email PR@edmunds.com by Tuesday, November 13, 2012 and provide a few lines about your experience so far.
I'll try this again adding the location [thanks sebring95] and using the recommended format:

Now that I know we'll be trading in mom's '07 Explorer in the next week or so, I'm trying to avoid spending a penny isn't necessary. I am taking it to a detail shop tomorrow to have it washed and hand dried and all the glass thoroughly cleaned inside and out. I'm also have the front carpeting and the leather seats cleaned. All of that for $100 is money well spent, IMO.
It has only been about 3500 miles since the last oil change and I would usually wait until 5000 miles to do it. But I'm thinking a fresh oil change can't hurt- along with all the maintenance records for the entire life of the car.
The other one maintenance item that hasn't been done is replacing the spark plugs. New ones were due at 100k miles, but my mechanic said the old ones still looked perfect, so I could get another 30-40k miles out of them. Now it has almost 136k on it and I suspect that they really do need to be replaced...but I don't think changing them would have any noticeable benefit (at least not immediately).
So I'm thinking the hardcore clean-up and oil change are all I should do and then try to find somewhere to dump it!!! Any other suggestions?
I would do none of the above. Unless it looks like a brand new car when cleaned up (and it's filthy now) even cleaning it is a waste in my book. Any dealer is going to do a detail job on it and most could care less about maintenance records/history. This will likely go to an auction where nobody will look at anything. Save your money and more importantly...your time. Just dump it. Outside of private sales I have never felt I received any value for a mint condition well cared for car. If you get anything extra...it will likely only cover what you've spent.
I always clean my cars before trading, personally. I just want them to be able to see how nice it is so when I push for more on my trade, they will often do it.
The other stuff is a definite no. They don't care about maintenance records. They throw them right in the trash.

Listed for 15,900 firm private party sale. Looking to get 15,000 trade-in if get no hits on private sale listing (seems coming up with 16k for private sale might be a stretch)
I am not an expert but a few things jump out at me. One, "firm". Most buyers want to negotiate a bit. So, this may turn some buyers off. Second, if your repair shows up on a car fax it is unlikely that you will get top dollar. Lastly, it seems as if your price is a tad high. Some dealers in my area have the same car with less miles for a lower price.
Thanks for the feedback, I probably would list it higher but maybe am being a little bit overzealous on the price. Down here the dealer has an 09 LX-P with same miles for 15,600. I was hoping for 15 trade-in but may need to adjust my expectations.
new battery is a great selling point. You might get $6500 trading it in Cali. Fair private party transaction would be $8500, so I can understand a $10k asking price, although I wouldn't personally price it that high if you want a quick sale.

This is going to depend greatly on whether or not that accident shows on the history report.
Assuming it doesn't, you are looking at getting about $13500-$14k as a trade, and $16k is certainly a fair enough private party price, although you might need to settle for $15500. There are just SOOO many of these out there.

yes, the ima battery was replaced as a warranty item. in CA they are under warranty for 10/150. thank goodness because the ima system in the civic is total crap. if you want a hybrid buy a toyota.
About a month ago, my car (05 Acura RSX Base Automatic, 113k miles) sustained a minor collision - busted tail light cover, scratches/ small dent in bumper. The car also has mild scratches along the passenger door and mild interior wear, but no mechanical issues. I have collected from the insurance (just over 1k), but since it hasn't affected it's drivability, I haven't fixed it. I was wondering primarily whether or not to fix it prior to trading the car in? My guess was not to, but didn't know how much most dealers would deduct from the value. Also since I have your attention, what would be a fair trade in value? I plan on trading in at the dealership with using CarMax as a back up.
I've found that dealers tend to deduct an amount that is greater than the cost of repair. Ditto for a bad repair job(overspray, rippled bodywork, unmatched paint, etc.

You might consider getting a taillight from the junkyard and installing it yourself. The other body work, you may want to skip depending on how bad it looks.
Researched value of my car online (KBB, Edmunds, NADA) and found consistent trade-in value of approx. $20-21K. Trade-in offers have ranged from $16-18K from dealers. I'm puzzled at the large disparity. Have read some articles online about auction value and such, but still challenged by the seemingly low trade-in value compared to research.

Comments
Only data I have is an average one with 93k miles that did $5500, and an above average one with 80k that got $6500.
So, based on that, do I think $8k is reasonable? Not really. But, then again, its getting close to winter. Who knows?
