The Official "whats my car worth" thread

$4715 in Good Condition

Illinois.

The whole coolness factor of being a GX Ecotec 5-speed unfortunately doesn't help the resale value on those sites.

1999 V6 GL 4 Dr sedan, 29K miles, like new.
Excellent $3,805
IMO, the car is worth more than that since it's still essentially a new car (actually better than new since I replaced the LIM gasket).

They already factor in mileage, so not really.....

It was a 99 GL Sedan in ND, 110,000 miles when I sold it so it was worth:
Excellent $2,555
Good $2,305
Fair $1,805
I sold it for $3200 so I made out pretty good. KBB is just a base point so you know about what its worth, it really all depends on the buyer.
What I got now is worth $13,500, mint condition with 38,000 miles. I could get 15k for it today if I wanted to, i've had many offers from people that know its history.

sold my car for 4,500 with 46,350 original miles

no way on earth you can get 15k for your car and if you ever get an offer like that take it and run

It was my Mom's car for the first 9-10 years of it's life. So it was only used 1-2 times per week and only to get to WalMart or the doctors (both close by) and garaged. When I got it, it only had 19K miles on it. My main car is a beater that I am trying to wear out so I can justify junking it. I don't drive my Alero in the winter when there is salt on the roads or snow. I mostly just use the Alero for out of state trips and occasional use until my beater dies.

[AZFire316]

Well we all know after market mods mean diddly to the value of a car unless youre trying to sell to a particular demographic. Despite my Aleros LA1 deciding it was time to retire, I still have the car in the garage as I drive the balt around.

Blue Book Private Party Value

Kelley Blue Book Private Party Value is the amount a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than any remaining factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes.


Vehicle Condition Ratings

Check Vehicle Title History
Excellent
</IMG></IMG></IMG></IMG></IMG>
$5,125

• Looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning.
• Never had any paint or body work and is free of rust.
• Clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection.
• Engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects.
• Complete and verifiable service records.

Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category.

[IRONDOG442]

Anyone willing to pay $5,125 for it?

By the way I just sold (as in today) a 2001 GX Intrigue with 117k on it for $3,200 and the book value said it was $2,300. I had this car on Craigslist for an hour, I had 4 phone calls and 6 emails. first guy who looked at it bought it, used car market is crazy right now as in quick sales. So dont put too much faith in KBBs prices right now.

[Chris2000]

Nada gives better results than KBB as I've heard alot of dealers go by them instead.

2003 GL Sedan
66k miles
Good Condition
$5,250
-$1,000 aftermarket turbo
-$1,000 non-factory transmission
-$500 nitrous
-$500 modified gauge cluster
-$250 hole drilled in back bumper for battery shut-off

= $2,000

Funny how a dealership will add on for modifications when selling, but deduct for modifications when buying or accepting a trade-in.

[AZFire316]

They deduct for mods we do to our cars because it takes away from potential people they can sell to. When they raise the cost for mods they do its because we are ordering them.
