    The trunk was damaged pretty badly, although neither the axle, muffler or rear doors were damaged. All of the replacement parts were Nissan parts and not after-market.

    Thanks again,

    Looking to sell or trade a '90 Toyota 4R V6 4WD with AC and factory stock with about 78K miles later this spring. Should I trade to a non-Toyota dealer, would any dealer want a 12 year old truck or should I sell on my own, it has good curb appeal and little wear due to being a second car. Relocated to Texas and not sure if they offer tax credit on trade-in value, anyone know? What's good price?

    I have a 97 Toyota Avalon XLS with 76K miles. All maintenance is current, car has all options - full power (windows locks seats), leather, moonroof, traction control, ABS, CD changer, wood trim, gold exterior trim, pearl white color, light tinted windows. I'm starting to shop for a small truck, and was offered $7500 on trade. Seems a bit low. I also have the Toyota extended warranty through 7/03 or 100K miles which is assignable for $50. Does this add significant value? If I trade the car I can cash in the balance of the warranty for about $300. By the way, I live in the Chicago area.
    Thanks.
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    You will almost always make more if you sell the car privately. Also, the extended warranty should add some value to the car if you sell it, but not if you trade it to a dealer. Add about $200 or so for the warranty I would say.

    I am looking at purchase of new Acura RL or Accord EX.

    Have a 97 blue accord lx. 56k miles. sound mechanical. some body scratches on doors and hood.

    What is a realistic price if I sold on my own or the dealer gave me a trade-in? Thanks

    It is almost always unwise to buy your lease out after the term.
    The residual value also knwo as guranteed future value is usually inflated to make it more attractive to lease.
  • rshefferrsheffer Member Posts: 5
    90,000 miles, GS sedan, light green, very good condition, Edmunds TMV is $4800 for a private party sale. What would it bring at auction, and what is a fair price for the buyer (me) and the seller (co-worker). Maryland car.
  • Bob_in_VABob_in_VA Member Posts: 3
    5-speed, 48,000 miles, dark blue, excellent condition.

    Thanks!!
  • tomsrtomsr Member Posts: 325
    I have a 98 Acura CL with 63K miles and an extended warranty to 100k.It is worth $10000
    now,In a year if I only put 6K miles on it how
    much is it going to be worth? I would like to sell it to my son then for ACV or trade in value.
  • thelthel Member Posts: 767
    I have a 2001 Honda CRV EX AWD auto tranny with 16,000 miles. It is black and in excellent shape with all service records. What would a dealer look for trade-in value and what could I ask for it private party?

    Hope Terry is having fun down south.

    thel: Better specify your location. Black cars can be a very big handicap in some areas.

    ..... I go away for a few days, just to loose a few hundred Golf balls -- and man.. everyone is gotta a question.

    ..... Good morning, how are you ..?

    Do you live close to Huntsville ..?

    My boy Bill Heard has a little store there.

    Well anyway, you can be my first victim

    Ok.. it's a 01 ..16 klicks, EX, AWD and based on what your telling us it's like new .. right ..?

    The miles are a little stiff, not much though, and now is a good time to drop a black vehicle in Bama, come June, they get ugly.

    The vehicle will do the mid to high $17's if it's a "baby doll".

    Whatcha lookin' to buy ...?

    Terry.
  • rroyce10rroyce10 Member Posts: 9,332
    ..... What model is it ..? 2.3/ 3.0 ..package, color ..?

    Hey ..! --- No ticky.. No washy ...!

    Terry.
  • rroyce10rroyce10 Member Posts: 9,332
    ...... Well Bob, everything was going your way til that 5 speed part..

    These are great vehicles, will run forever and no brain damage.

    The miles are good and almost the right color.. if it's nice and clean, it will do the high 4's..maybe $5, if it's "jam up" ..

    Terry.

    Bill has been very busy. :-)

    I think I may have found a car. I'm leaving in about 30 minutes to go to Cincy and check it out. It's a '99 black/black LS400, nakamichi, HIDs, cd changer, heated seats, moonroof, 36k miles. It's also certified. It's a trade-in, not an auction purchase. Asking price was $38,836. I talked to the internet manager, and he said he could do around $35k, which Bill said is all the money on this one. It's a bit more than I wanted to spend, but this sounds like it could be the one. They are offering 4.9% on their certified cars, so that helps. I'll let you know.

    Q
  • thelthel Member Posts: 767
    I live in Missouri (hot humid summers, cold, sonetimes harsh winters).

    Would the $17's be what a dealer would give me on trade or what I should expect from a private party.

    I'm batting around the idea of getting an older 4X4 pickup and using the money from the CRV for some investments, savings, etc. I only owe about $2,000 on the CRV.

    Thanks!
  • thelthel Member Posts: 767
    I also don't smoke, and I have had all of the service done at the local Honda dealer and I have the records to show it.
  • ahlinahlin Member Posts: 30
    2001 Toyota Highlander Limited vehicle is loaded including moonroof and vehicle skid control. 8500 miles Color is vintage gold with ivory leather interior. Original sticker was $34700. Wondering about trade in value and or private sale value?Any ideas? Thanks much!
  • ahlinahlin Member Posts: 30

  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    That was Trade-In!

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    Let me know how it goes! start em at $33,500.. see what happens.

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    Hmm..

    I am thinking $13,300ish... give or takje a few hundred...

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    Oohhh yes there be somethin amiss here :)

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    How many miles are gonna be on it?

    If it had 30Kish miles.. I'm thinking $22,500 isnt that bad..$23Kish is what it could do at auction now.

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    Hmm..

    If its not a goofy color.. and its clean...

    I think this is a $19,500 car.

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    It's a ... oh.. $14Kish car at the sale easily. $500+ to certify it..etc..

    What do they want for it?

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    OK.. if its been kissed.. rather..smacked.. in the back.

    I think we have a $10Kish car here. (99 Maxima GXE with 39K, right?)

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    OK... in Texas, the Tacoma, with the megamiles, is about $10-11K wholesale. So add $2K for that for retail.. if he can get $13K he done well.

    On the Dodge in the Klondike: Assuming it hasnt bumped into too many icebergs or Polar Bears, Moose or Glaciers...

    $21K all day long. I bet $22K up there.

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    Shoot... down here that's a $4,000+++ wholesale unit. Easy.

    Put it in the paper for $6,950.

    If it helps, we just sold a SUPER NICE 88 2-door 4-runner SR5 V6 with 178K for $4,350.

    And we had people lined up at that price.

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    Hmm..

    May be a tad light, but I think $8K would be all the $$ in Chicago. It cou8ld do a litle more here in FL or CA tho.

    $10,900/bo in the paper, grab the first $9,800.

    Cash in the warranty!

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    OK.. if they arent BAD Scratches.. (This is tough without seein it).

    $7,500ish.. maybe a little less depending on how bad the scratches are.

    $9,950 in the paper, Grab $9,000

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    2-door? 4-Door? Auto? Handshaker?

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    If its nice, it could hit $3,000 across the block.

    IF its nice.

    So.. If it were yours, I'd say to shoot to get $4,500ish for it so $4,800 sounds reasonable.

    Whats fair between the two.. thats for you and your friend to decide! But I'd tell ya to not take less than $4K if it had your name on the title.

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    That would be wholesale

    what Terry said that is..

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    OK.

    The 4WD Bit helps.

    I think it ought to do $26,000 across the block, maybe then some.

    So ask $29,500 for it and grab $28,500.

    Bill
  • im_brentwoodim_brentwood Member Posts: 4,883
    MAN its good to see you :)

    I have been SWAMPED this week... and well, all of a sudden we gots busy.

  • seqladyseqlady Member Posts: 59
    Ready to turn in a leased '99 Audi, A4, 1.8T, 5-speed, Bose, sunroof, heated seats, leatherette, santorin blue, 24K miles, great condition. Audi Financial says they'll credit us the amount over residual that they get when it's auctioned, which could offset the 3 remaining payments due. Somehow, I doubt the auction price could be higher than the residual, even with this low mileage. What's your best guess what this figure might be? Thanks for your help. BTW, we're in SE PA if that makes a difference.
  • 3bumblebees3bumblebees Member Posts: 7
    4 door sedan, manual transmission.

    Umm....handshaker?

    So you do not have to look back, here is the info again.

    Dark green 1196 Acura Integra, 64,000 miles.
    needs brakes and tires. interior descent, exterior excellent.

    Thanks again for the help.

    Evan
  • 3bumblebees3bumblebees Member Posts: 7
    That should, of course, say 1996 Acura Integra.

    However, if it was a 1196, I imagine I could get a lot of money for it. I am guessing they did not make many of them that year.

  • porcodinciporcodinci Member Posts: 14
    Man, if you are telling me that I can get mid 16s for trade-in, something is amiss... All the dealers out here in the San Francisco Bay area are trying to quote me 14000... 15000 was the highest anyone offered. I don't know how to get around this problem... If I got 16000 even, I would be ecstatic... Anything I can do?
  • rroyce10rroyce10 Member Posts: 9,332
    ..... It was very, very nice .. and then some. I love that place. Your on a 900 acre resort, it kinda boring -- just beautiful beaches, Golf courses, para sailing, offshore fishing, service up the ying yang and that beautiful Volcano in the background.

    Yep, it was rough.

    Terry.
  • rroyce10rroyce10 Member Posts: 9,332
    ...... I see your from Missouri, I don't know why I was thinkin' Alabama.

    Have you been to Branson ...? very cool place.

    Yep, the high 17's is a wholesale price, maybe even $18 and some change depending on the dealer.

    If you retail it in the paper, give it a big Hoorah Ad (5 liner) make it look like a diamond, have the service records on the dash. A good asking price would be $19,950 and let someone come over and insult you with a $19/$19,400 figure -- cry and stamp your feet, then grab the $$ and go buy the next vehicle.
