Thanks very much for your time.

Queen of the Road: Hello there. Alright, let’s get some BMW and Audi wholesale prices.

For a 2004 Audi A4 Cabriolet 1.8T with 40,000 miles, prices range from $17,700 (being in above average condition) to $15,500 (being in average condition) and $13,300 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $14.7k to $19.6k.

For a 2004 Audi A4 Cabriolet 3.0L with 40,000 miles, prices range from $16,900 (being in above average condition) to $15,400 (being in average condition) and $13,900 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $15.4k to $18.7k.

For a 2004 BMW 325CI Convertible with 50,000 miles, prices range from $19,100 (being in above average condition) to $16,800 (being in average condition) and $14,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $16.3k to $21k.

For a 2004 BMW 330CI Convertible with 50,000 miles, prices range from $20,100 (being in above average condition) to $18,300 (being in average condition) and $16,500 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $18.3k to $22.2k.

If you’re certain that you’re going to purchase it, do a carfax and bring a trusted mechanic for a quick inspection. If you, or any of your friends, have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask us anything. Goodluck and keep us posted!

Question From Taryn: Hi, I’m a first year college student, basically looking for my dream car. But with a silly part time job, ($8/hr) I can’t afford too much. And although this price to me is reasonable. I’m sure I can find it for less considering the year it’s made.

Year: 1999
Make: Beetle
Model:Beetle GLS
Trim: black
Mileage: 67,016
VIN: 3VWCA21C5XM461651
Buying or Selling? Buying
From Fox Automotive in Rochester Hills,MI.
Asking Price: $6,995

Queen of the Road: Hi Taryn. It looks like you thought right! You can buy this car for $1,600 or more depending on the Beetle’s condition. Here’s a range of Volkswagen Beetle wholesale prices based on the car’s condition.

For a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe GLS with 67,000 miles, prices range from $4,600 (being in above average condition) to $3,900 (being in average condition) and $3,300 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $4k to $5.4k.

Of course you want to haggle the price as low as the wholesale prices, but dealership need to make a little something. The range $4k to $5.4k is you idea range. $7,000 is far too high. If the dealer doesn’t budge, then walk away because $7k is a horrible deal.

If you’re certain that you’re going to purchase it, do a carfax and bring a trusted mechanic for a quick inspection. If you, or any of your friends, have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask us anything. Goodluck and keep us posted!

Question: Hey there~

Year: 1999

Model: Civic EX Coupe
Mileage: 116000

Queen of the Road: Hi again! Let’s see what we’ve got…

For a 1999 Honda Civic Coupe EX Auto with 116,000 miles, prices range from $4,900 (being in above average condition) to $3,700 (being in average condition) and $2,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $3.2k to $5.7k. Private sellers generally sell for 5% to 10% above wholesale prices.

If you’re certain that you’re going to purchase it, do a carfax and bring a trusted mechanic for a quick inspection. If you, or any of your friends, have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask us anything. Goodluck and keep us posted!
