Hi All,

Before I put my car up for sale I wanted to get some input on what I can sell it for.
I understand nada and KBB but I wonder what I can sell my car for (Market value).
I haven't been around the scene for a while and the car has been sitting so I think it's time to sell-
2000 NFR s2000 -- clean title -- no accidents -- Top is PERFECT
80k miles - stock- fairly clean- It needs a little cosmetic work to make it perfect but I'm picky.

I don't owe anything on the car and want to just free up space in the garage for my next grand idea.

Thanks for any input.

 

I'm not too sure, but it looks like they're going for around $9,000 - $10,000. Depending on the condition of course.

I'd wait until Summer to sell it. Not too many people are looking for a convertible in this type of weather.

 

Sounds like an idea. Thanks

 

so when is this going up for sale????

 

So you understand that NADA was invented by the dealers and Kelly was invented by a disinterested 3rd party to price used cars right? NEVER use NADA values as a seller!
Price is highly variable depending on a number of factors. I'd focus on Cars.com remembering that the are usually 3 prices:
1) KBB value
2) Asking price
3) Actual sales price

Good luck!

Utah S2k....that is terrible advice you gave, no offense.

You are correct on Kelly's, but NADA is the national standard the banks use to base the value of loans that they are willing to give on. Since most people make car purchases on loan, the loan value a bank gives will directly effect the value the car will sell for. NADA was never intended for individuals but for a national standard for auctions and banks. Because of this most individual users do not know how to use NADA value's and come to the same conclusion that Utah S2k has.

NADA value is the only value to go by being that 85% of all buyers will pay whatever a bank will loan for the car.

Sorry to come down so harsh, but I don't want the OP to get wrong information

You can get a good idea on cars.com as there is a lot of variability depending on market and the season.

P.S.no offense taken flex....we go back to far. NADA stands for National Automotive Dealer Association. Dealers use it to justify their low trade in. Banks must use it to protect their loan risk. Too bad the banks didn't 't have this in place for housing loans!

 

Amen on that. Boy did the housing market just get screwed over by banks and hedge funds deciding to give everyone one with a pulse a loan. The supply demand just got all out of wack. Looks like its correcting itself now, but its going to take some time.
