If you have an AP1 dont run KBB, you might cry

For $10k my baby will can stay in the garage for many years to come

 

mine is worth 8 according to kbb

 

i try to stay away from KBB and look at the average price of the current market. The value of your car is only worth what someone is whiling to pay for it. So I'd determine a price based on what other similar cars are selling for, in a similar areas - not what KBB says.


When i purchased my beater, i got it way lower than what KBB said it was worth. And unfortunately, when i purchased my S, i got it for more than what KBB said it was worth. it was a high-demand summer for convertibles

 

agreed with snow lotus.
i think kbb is good for a somewhat ballpark figure but hes right in that determining the market value you will have a better idea as to the value
i also feel that some cars have more intangible features that don't really get worked in such as the aformentioned convertible feature. in the summer there will be more demand for a sweet sweet car such as this and obviously in the winter the only people who want one will be people who are looking for a good deal on a car theyve researched well

 

10-12k for mine. Thanks to relatively low mileage for an '01.

Either way... no point in selling so it will be a 2nd car someday in the future.

 

It's the middle of winter. Of course prices on convertible sports cars are going to be low. Check back in May-June, and values will be 20% higher.

does kbb take seasonality into account?

i what sort of model they use to come up with their numbers

 

I dont beleive it it either, but I cant believe it is THAT low, they must take seasons into account

 

mine ranges from 10,800 - 11,800 not looking to sell anyway so no big deal

 

KBB always seems way higher. Edmunds for me. =)
