Queen of the Road: Are you the PT Cruiser fan or are you helping someone else car shop? You’re making a good decision buying used. Cars are the second fastest depreciating items. Keep in mind that the numbers below are wholesale prices.
For a 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible with 18,500 miles, prices range from $11,200 (being in above average condition) to $10,500 (being in average condition) and $9,800 (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 $11,100 to $12,600.
For a 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible with 7,000 miles, prices range from $12,000 (being in above average condition) to $11,300 (being in average condition) and $10,700 (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 $11,900 to $13,400.
For a 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible with 60 miles, prices range from $12,000 (being in above average condition) to $11,100 (being in average condition) and $10,200 (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 $11,400 to $13,300. How did you manage to find an ‘06 with 59 miles? The average for this car is 22k miles.
Be sure to do plenty of research before you decide to purchase one of those Cruisers. Do a carfax and bring a trusted mechanic for a quick inspection. Bargain as low as possible and say that your CA dealer friends told you the wholesale prices. If you stumble across more PT Cruiser opportunities, run the prices through our team of experts and we’ll be happy to help you. Best of luck!
