Queen of the Road: Hi there! Welcome back. Let’s see what we’ve got here…

For a 1995 Lexus LS400 with 100,000 miles, prices range from $5,200 (being in above average condition) to $4,500 (being in average condition) and $3,600 (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 $4.3k to $6.1k.

The quote you get from trade-in may not even come close to what you’re expecting. I guarantee that if you sell privately, you will save money. The average percentage when selling privately is 5% to 10% over wholesale prices.

Question From Shara: I HAVE A 1997 2DR SL2 SEDAN, 86, 300 MILES, FAIR CONDITION AND ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR $2000 TRYING TO SELL PRIVATELY. EVERYONE THAT CAME TO LOOK AND DRIVE IT ALWAYS SAID IT WAS LOUD. I FINALLY TOLD THEM I WOULD TAKE $1,500 AND NO CALLS. I AM MOVING AND CAN\’T DRIVE A TRUCK AND CAR WITH ONE PERSON AND WAS GOING TO SELL AND BUY ANOTHER AFTER MOVING. CALLED CARMAX AND THE CLOSEST ONE TO ME IS AN HOUR & 1/2 AWAY AND THEY WILL ONLY GIVE WHAT THEY WOULD PAY WHOLESALE OR AT AN AUCTION. MINOR RECONDITIONING IS ALL IT NEEDS AND THIS HAS BEEN AN AWESOME CAR FOR ME. DOES ANYONE HAVE A BALL PARK FIGURE I CAN CONSIDER BEFORE SPENDING WHAT LITTLE MONEY I HAVE LEFT DRIVING THERE TO BE DISSAPPOINTED IN THEIR OFFER?

Thanks for your help.

Queen of the Road: Hi there! Let’s see what range you can sell your car for…

For a 2002 Mazda MPV 2WD V6 ES with 80,000 miles, prices range from $6,800 (being in above average condition) to $5,400 (being in average condition) and $3,900 (being in below average condition).

Question: thanks for all the help you’ve been giving people.

I’m in the market and have found what I want:

Make/Model: 2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed6
Trim: GT
Mileage: 16,250
Installed Options: Moonroof
Zip: 07470

The vehicle is not certified pre-owned (CPO) but according to the dealer it may be able to be. That would bring a 6 year/100k mile warranty. Dealer also states that car has new tires. Have only seen on website and wanting to have the deal just about done before going in. It’s in NJ, I’m in PA.

Dealer is asking $23,995.

Also, I’d be trading in:

Make/Model: 2005 Scion tC
Trim: 5 Speed
Mileage: 72,500
Options: Front & Rear Curtain, Subwoofer, Rear Spoiler, Clear Bra

Has some minor wear and tear and will require tires by winter. Inspected until March 2009. Curious what the wholesale auction value is on the car so I know how much KBB is off ($9,900).

TIA!

Queen of the Road: Hello hello! Sorry, buddy. I don’t have prices for that Mazda trim at the moment. For the Mazda6, I only seem to have the S and I. The good news is that I have wholesale Scion prices for you.

For a 2005 Scion tC with 72,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $11,300 (being in above average condition) to $9,700 (being in average condition) and $8,000 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that all the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to flip it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $9,200 to $12,900.

I recommend you try selling it yourself. Almost all our readers receive trade-in quotes that are dissappointing and much less than if they sold privately. Best of luck and let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.

Question From Sai: I am looking to purchase a used 2007 MDX with Navigation and DVD with about 25, 000 miles on it. How much do you think I should be spending? Even though the truck market is sluggish, it seems like the 2007 MDX is a “hot” commodity on the used market according to what I am seeing on ebaymotors, cars.com and autotrader. Let me know your thoughts.

On a side note, I am looking to sell my green 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro Auto with 115K on it. The car is in fairly good condition but needs 4 new tires and a timing belt change which I skipped at 110K. No major accident. Dealer maintained. Everything works. I commute 100 miles daily which explains the high miles. What do you think I will get for it private party?
