How Much Should I Pay: 2004 Honda Accord
Question: I will be purchasing a 2004 Honda Accord EX V6, leather, etc. with 100k miles, new tires and timing belt from a relative for $10,000 if that compares. Can someone tell me if that is good also?
Queen of the Road: Welcome to AutoBragBlog!
For a 2004 Honda Accord V6 Sedan EX Auto with 100,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $9,900 (being in above average condition) to $8,600 (being in average condition) and $7,200 (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 $8,300 to $11,300. 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.
Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!
