Question From Cheryl:  if I wanted to sell my 2007 Lexus LS460- fully loaded with 24,000 miles - what would be the wholesale price I can get and what would be the trade in value?

Queen of the Road: Hi Cheryl. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! The LS460 is an absolute beauty. It’s by far one of my favorite cars and I admire how technologically advanced their autos are. Lexus sure knows how to build some quality cars.

I can not predict what a trade in value that you’ll be offered, but I can provide you with wholesale prices.

For a 2007 Lexus LS460 with 24,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $42,200 (being in above average condition) to $37,900 (being in average condition) and $33,500 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually buy these and flip them for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $36,800 to $46,200. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%. I always recommend trying to sell yourself. You may save more than you thought.

The dealer may offer less because that’s how they make profit - by flipping it. If you’re disappointed with what the dealer will offer you, here’s an article that covers what’s required for a successful do-it-yourself sale: 7 Steps To A Smooth Car Sale. Goodluck!

Question From Sam:  I’m wondering how much I can sell my Mini Cooper Convertible S model for?
- 2007
- Premium Package
- Cold Weather Package
- Convenience Package
- clear bra/paint protective film on the hood, and has bonnet stripes
- 10,200 miles
- no accidents

Private party and how much would a dealer give me for? Thank you.

Queen of the Road: Hi Sam. Welcome to our blog!  Below are wholesale MINI Cooper prices. It’s not guaranteed that the dealership will give you these prices. They make profits from flipping cars that are traded in. Majority of the time, their offers are lower than what’s expected usually leaving people disappointed.

For a 2007 MINI Cooper S Convertible with 10,200 miles, prices range from $26,400 (being in above average condition) to $24,900 (being in average condition) and $23,400 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually mark it up to 12% - 14% after you trade it in and sell it for $25,700 to $29,000. You can sell it to private parties with  a mark up of 5% - 10% above wholesale prices.

So, if you have the time, I recommend trying to sell it yourself. You may save several thousand dollars. At a time like this, it’s worth the extra effort. Goodluck and let us know if you need anything else.
