Queen of the Road: Hi Tyrone. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!

For a 2006 Volkswagen Passat 4C Sedan with 48,400 miles, wholesale prices range from $12,100 (being in above average condition) to $10,200 (being in average condition) and $8,400 (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 $9,600 to $13,600. 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!
