Question From Shyna: 2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD (Acura Dealer, trade in)
Miles: 34,000
Navigation System (no Mark Levinson sound system)

NOT CERTIFIED, only factory warranty left

Queen of the Road: Welcome to our blog, Shyna.

Have you given any thought to trying to sell privately? Most likely the dealership will estimate a very disappointing figure for you, but you can’t blame them for profiting by flipping your car. So they give low low estimates to customers. If you have the time, you should consider selling yourself. You may end up savings a substantial amount of cash.

Question: How much should I sell a 2006 VW Golf GL, 32095 miles, silver, 5 speed manual

Queen of the Road: Hi there. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!

For a 2006 Volkswagen Golf Hatchback GL with 32,100 miles, wholesale prices range from $10,100 (being in above average condition) to $8,500 (being in average condition) and $7,000 (being in below average condition).

A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $7,900 to $11,300. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Follow Up Comment: Sold this evening at $12,900…I did not want to pay $200 in taxes next week and another $300 for insurance next month. Besides it needs tires soon, I figured that into the price.
The guy bought it for his stepson and drives a 2008 Corolla. While he was driving it, he said he might keep the Mazda for himself and give the Corolla to his stepson. The car does need tires, but I figured if I replaced them before selling, I wouldn’t be able to recoup that money, it would’ve been around $600. Even though times are tough, I think small economical cars will sell good because that’s what people want now.
