The Official "whats my car worth" thread
So, some of our cars have hit the 10 year old mark and others are quickly nearing it. I've been watching the value of my car decrease since I bought it and the thought of a thread for us to keep track of depreciation occurred me.
Using Kelly Blue Book at www.kbb.com as the official website to serve as a control, list the value of your car in "Private Party Value". Include current mileage and the state where you live. I'm curious to see if there's a variety of prices for similar cars based on mileage or geographic differences. My car as of 3/21/11: $2500 Good Condition 146,000 miles Michigan |
2001 GLS Sedan, 164,xxx miles. Indiana. as of 3/21/11
Worth $3,335 in good condition... i got her for $3500 3 years ago with 127,xxx miles on the clock. |
Car's worth whatever someone will pay for it, not what any book says.
I bought a MY2000 for $2250 in 2005, it says it's worth $1150 in "Fair" condition (I put that since there is rust that needs repairing) and $1680 in "Good." Come buy my car for $1150! Includes $250 aftermarket seats, GT3076R turbo setup ($1300), built engine ($1800), AEM boost/wideband gauges ($400), 62mm throttle body ($150), wheels and tires ($900), body kit (incl paint/parts $700), exhaust ($200), engine dressup ($300, MRZ billet caps were costly, and powdercoated IDI cover and fuel rail), MSD coil and wire conversion ($160), aftermarket headunit and speakers ($200), strut tower bars F/R ($100), drilled/slotted rotors and kevlar pads ($200). If I remember correctly. Eek. |
