Question From Shlomo: Hi, i have been offered a 2005 accord lx with 36000 miles from a private party. Car is in excellent condition besides for a small crack in the left back bumper.The price is 11,200. I have also been offered a 2007 chevy impala basic model with 20,000 miles for $11,000. Which would you recommend. Thanks

Follow Up Comment:  Hi and thanks for the response. The accord is a 4cy 4 door automatic. The impala is a ls v6. I was wondering if over the long term i would have less problems with the accord. Thanks.

Queen of the Road: Hi there and welcome to AutoBragBlog! It looks like $11,200 for the Honda is a good deal because it’s being offered at a wholesale price. Buying from private party is majority of the time less expensive.

For a 2005 Honda Accord 4C Sedan LX Auto with 36,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $11,700 (being in above average condition) to $10,200 (being in average condition) and $8,600 (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 $9.8k to $13k. In this case, the seller is aiming real high. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

Be sure to check carfax on both cars and do plenty of research on the history of each vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection.

About the Impala, just to clarify, which basic model is it: LT 3.5L, LT 3.9L or LTZ?

Question From Jerry:  how much should I pay for a EX-L with 30,000 miless on it? How much if it is certified?

Queen of the Road:  Hi Jerry. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! We’ve got plenty of Honda wholesale prices. Are you buying from a private seller or a dealership?

Model: 4C or V6? Auto or Manual?

Trim: Coupe? Sedan?

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $14,800 to $18,300.

Question:  Hello!

Looking to purchase a 2005 Honda Accord LX 4-cyl automatic sedan. 34K Miles. Was told it is an off lease car.

I have a 2002 Honda civic EX 4-cyl automatic coupe with 56k Miles I was looking to trade in, if I can not sell it on my own. Car has a few minor scratches, and a small dent in fender (2 inch diameter), but mechanically, it is strong and runs perfect. What trade value should I be looking for, or is it better to sell on my own first? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Queen of the Road: Hello there! Is the 2005 Accord being offered from a dealership or a private party? Here’s the Honda wholesale prices for that car…

For a 2005 Honda Accord 4C Sedan LX Automatic with 34,000 miles, prices range from $12,300 (being in above average condition) to $10,900 (being in average condition) and $9,400 (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 $10,600 to $13,800.

Regarding your 2002 Civic, I almost always recommend selling it yourself. Majority of the time, trading in is how dealerships make their profit. Flipping it. That and their service department is what brings in the dough.

For a 2002 Honda Civic Coupe EX Automatic with 56,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $7,800 (being in above average condition) to $6,600 (being in average condition) and $5,300 (being in below average condition). Private sellers usually mark up 5%-10% above wholesale prices. If you’re in a hurry to get rid of the car, then it makes since to trade it in.

Goodluck and let me know if you need anything else!
