How Much Should I Pay: 2008 Saturn Vue
Question From Gina: 2008 Saturn VUE XE V6 AWD. 7,000 Miles. Dealer asking $18,900.
Queen of the Road: Hi Gina. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! $18.9k is too high. You can ask for as low as $14.3k.
For a 2008 Saturn Vue AWD V6 3.6L XE with 7,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $16,700 (being in above average condition) to $14,800 (being in average condition) and $12,900 (being in below average condition).
A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $14,300 to $18,400. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
