Hey guys and gals...I am selling my 2002 S2000 (suzuka Blue, under 6,000 miles, essentially perfect condition) and have gotten calls from "specialtyauto.net", a marketing firm that assures me that for a mere fee of $169, they will list my car on 5 websites and can nearly guarantee me MUCH higher resale $$$$. They seem to have "all the answers" to any questions I had asked, but Has anyone had any experience with them? Is this BS or worthwhile to consider? One of their "comebacks" to my questions was that THEY don't use the "BlueBook" to determine resale value, they use the BLACK BOOK!!! (ever heard of it???, I haven't...not talking about Edmunds, either!) At this, I started to think BS, but I don't know........I suspect that other S2K sellers have likewise been solicited.....Any input much appreciated...

 

Sounds like to me.

 

Blackbook is real. It is based on auction pricing and tends to be a fair amount lower than blue book. I don't see how that gets you better resale though.
