Question From Sean: Queen,

I finally found the 2007 Suburban 1500 4X4 LT, with rear buckets, DVD, 6 way power heated seats, sunroof, 3rd row seating, power rear door etc. Very good condition 46K miles.

The dealer will get me out of my 2004 Suburban 1500 4X4 LT 86K miles in trade (only getting 10K trade, I owe more than that) and sell me the 2007 for $25,500.00. I can’t find any issues with the deal. How about you?

Queen of the Road: Hi Sean. For a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4WD 5.3L LT with 46,000 miles, prices range from $24,200 (being in above average condition) to $21,100 (being in average condition) and $17,900 (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 $19,900 to $26,700.

For a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4WD 5.3L LT with 86,000 miles, prices range from $12,200 (being in above average condition) to $10,000 (being in average condition) and $7,700 (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 $8,900 to $13,800.

Let me get this straight. So if the dealer is accepting the trade in for $10,000, that leaves the sale prices of the car around $15,500? Or is the car being sold to you for $25,500 without regard to the trade in? Is the $25,500 the difference you owe on the car? How much do you owe on the old car?

Did you check the car’s background? Carfax? If it’s only $15.5k, I would be suspicious.  Very suspicious. That price is lower than wholesale prices. If the carfax pulls up clean, I would bring a trusted mechanic to come and check it out. Did you ask the salesman if the car has been salvaged?

Question:  You helped me save a ton on a Volvo, now I need to unload a car or two and buy another.

Can you please give me an idea of the prices on the following please:

(I need to sell or trade these)
1999 Land Rover Discovery II 108K
2004 Chevrolet Suburban LT ½ ton 4X4 79K
2006 Ford E-250 Van 81K

I want to buy a 2002 Honda CRV AWD EX 61K miles Auto transmission.

Thanks for all your help!

Queen of the Road: Hello there! Welcome to our blog!  Sure thing I can help you. Do you own all three cars? Are you planning to sell/trade all three and buy only 1 car?

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 $3,200 to $5,300.

For the Suburban, I’ll need plenty more info. 1500 or 2500? 5.7, 6.0 or 8.0?

For a 2006 Ford E250 Van V8 with 81,000 miles, prices range from $10,400 (being in above average condition) to $8,900 (being in average condition) and $7,300 (being in below average condition).

This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Follow Up Comment: Thanks for the reply. The Corvette is a automatic Commemorative Edition.

Queen of the Road:  Hi, Alvin.

For a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Auto. with 4,600 miles, prices range from $34,100 (being in above average condition) to $31,500 (being in average condition) and $29,000 (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 $31,500 to $37,000. So, if you sold it yourself, you could sell for a range of $31,500 to $37,000.

Have you considered selling it yourself? It’s not as hard as it seems. Trading in your car may not guarantee you the figures above. Try taking it to Carmax or get an estimate from the dealership you plan to buy from. Then post an ad online. The work is minimal compared to the extra money you get in return.

Question From Derril: How much should I sell 2004 Chev 1500 silverado PU with 9500 miles. V6, auto, ac, and bedliner?

Queen of the Road: Hi Derril. Welcome to our blog! We can definitely help you with a range to sell your car, but I’ll just need a bit more info. on your truck. Is your pickup a 2WD or 4WD? Crew cab, Ext. cab or Reg. cab?

Question From Alvin: I have a 2004 Corvette Convertible with about 4600 miles that I would like to trade for a 2007 or 2008 Toyota Prius or Camry Hybrid. What is the best deal possible that can be had?

Queen of the Road: Hi, Alvin. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do the car price researching for you. Is your corvette a 6Sp or Auto?

FYI, a Pre-Owned 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid with 10,000 miles, prices range from $24,300 (being in above average condition) to $22,900 (being in average condition) and $21,500 (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 $23,700 to $26,700.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many NEW 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrids in our system. Here’s what we have:

For a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT),

The Largest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $26,857.00
MSRP: $29,530.00
ePrice: $26,857.00
Savings: $2,673.00
% OFF MSRP: 9.05%
This deal is so-so. Not worth pursuing. Since the 2009s are out, all the 2007s are being rushed around because dealers are trying to make room new cars. 2008s are already considered old.

For a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

The Largest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $25,157.00
MSRP: $28,549.00
ePrice: $25,157.00
Savings: $3,392.00
% OFF MSRP: 11.88%
We gave this deal a thumbs up because of the 11.88% savings.

Here’s what to do with the prices:   Print out the blue link and take the sheet with you to your local Toyota dealerships as proof that the prices your asking for didn’t fall out of the sky. Ask to talk to the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Better yet, call and make an appointment to see him/her first. If they don’t believe you, ask to use one of their computers so they can see for themselves. It’s impossible for them to doubt your prices because you’re pulling up another Toyota dealership’s website and checking their inventory. How can their website lie?

AutoBrag is a CA dealership. So we’re not exactly a random group of people throwing car prices out there. Expect them to doubt you at first because they may not want to deal with the fact that you’re killing their commission. If no one wants to work with you, that’s their loss. Go to another dealership.

Have you tried selling it yourself? Just keep the above figures in mind when they tell you how much they’ll give you to trade in.

From what your writing to me you asking for a 2006 model that came out in 2005.

If you’re certain that you’re going to purchase it, do a carfax and bring a trusted mechanic for a quick inspection. Goodluck and keep us posted.
