How Much Should I Pay: 1993 Ford F150

November 19th, 2008

Question From Debra:  How much is a very clean, very low mileage (35,000 miles) 1993 Ford 1/2 ton F150 with at tow package worth?

Follow Up Comment: Thanks for the reply and here are my responses - 2WD, Reg Cab, XLT with the trailer package and a perfectly clean interior. Thanks! it’s a V8. Anyway, the pickup is a 5.8L and did I already mention that it came with a towing package?  Thanks for your patience though I’m sure you have gobs on your plate to keep you busy!  Debra

Queen of the Road: Hi Debra. Since the car is older than a decade, the wholesale prices for that car are quite low. The older, the more depreciation.

For a 1993 Ford F150 Pick Up 2WD V8 Ext. Cab 5.8L XLT with 35,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $1,600 (being in above average condition) to $1,400 (being in average condition) and $1,200 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $1,700 to $2,200. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.




How Much Should I Pay: 1993 Infiniti G20

November 10th, 2008

Question From Lauren:  93 Infiniti G20
4 door
5 speed
170,000 miles.
leather interior
sun roof

they are asking 2,695 for it….
is that a good deal?

Queen of the Road:  Hello Lauren. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! You’ve come to the right place for Infiniti wholesale prices. Let’s see what we’ve got here for you today.

Are you sure you want to purchase a car older than 10 years? I have a rule that any car older than a decade. They’re extremely difficult to resell after you’re done with it and the potential for car problems are inevitable. This car also has high mileage. I wouldn’t recommend you to buy this car, especially since the price is so high compared to wholesale prices.

For a 1993 Infiniti G20 with 170000 miles, wholesale prices range from $1,100 (being in above average condition) to $650 (being in average condition) and $200 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $750 to $1,700. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

If you are going to buy it, I recommend you pay nothing higher than the wholesale prices since the car is old with high mileage. Are you buying from a dealership or a private seller?

How Much Should I Pay: 1993 Toyota Camry

March 25th, 2008

Question: Hi, I am looking at Toyota Camry 1993 4cyl LE Auto 150k miles, what price should I expect from a private seller? Thanks in advance.

Queen of the Road: Hi there. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do the car price research for you.

For a 1993 Toyota Camry 4C sedan LE with 150,000 miles, prices range from $2,800 (being in above average condition) to $2,300 (being in average condition) and $1,800 (being in below average condition).

These are wholesale prices, so expect something in this range. There aren’t really any reasons why their prices should be inflated unless they’ve added a ridiculous stereo system, shiny rims, tinted windows, you know what I mean. Ask about the history of the car and for all their maintenance records. If you’re certain that you’re going to purchase it, do a carfax and bring a trusted mechanic for a quick inspection.

Are you sure you want to purchase a car older than 10 years? The reason I ask is because of the mechanical issues soon to come. Toyotas are incredible cars, but 10 years should be the maximum. What’s your budget? I’m sure we can help you can find something within a decade for a good price. Where have you tried looking for used cars? Craigslist, AutoTrader?

Follow Up Comment: I want to get a used car for a nephew I sponsor to the US as a foreign student. Since I don’t want to add him to my insurance, I think I should give him a car that he can use around without paying too much for premium and not drive like a crazy kid.
Thank you for your help

Queen of the Road: Hahaha! That’s what I assumed - that this car was for a teenage driver who needs to rear a car or two.
