How Much Should I Sell: 1995 Lexus LS400

August 13th, 2008

Question: Thank you for all your help!

Year: 1995
Make: Lexus
Model: LS400
Trim: v8
Mileage: 100000
Selling? perhaps tradein?

Thanks

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.

How Much Should I Sell For: 2004 Ford F-150

May 5th, 2008

Question From Keith: I have a 2004 Ford F150 XLT V8 5.4L extended cab 2WD in excellent condition with 60k miles. How much can I expect for a fair trade-in?

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Keith! Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2004 Ford F150 2WD V8 5.4L Extended Cab XLT with 60,000 miles, prices range from $10,150 (being in above average condition) to $8,600 (being in average condition) and $7,000 (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 $7,800 to $11,600.

We always suggest you to first try selling your car in the private marketing, that will probably save you some good monthly payments on your next car. If you don’t have the time or if you don’t want the hassle of posting you car for sale and have people coming to your house to see the truck, you should expect to get for your truck what the dealers pay at the wholesale market for other trucks in average condition. Let us know if you have any other question. Good Luck!!!

April 3rd, 2008

 

Question:  Looking to buy the following vehicle in the next couple of months. Out of Miami, FL. thanks for the help!

Year: 2004
Make: C70
Model: 2WD or 4WD? 4C or V6? Auto or Manual? automatic, either of the two trims is fine
Trim: (give as much detail as possible here)Not picky
Mileage: 30000-45000
VIN:
Buying or Selling? Buying
From Private Party or From A Dealership? Looking to buy from either, will be purchasing an extended warranty.

Queen of the Road: In order for us to determine a price range, we’ll need as much information as possible about the car. Basically, a person will already have a specific car in mind that they’re ready to buy. So I’ll need an exact mileage. I’ll also need the style of the vehicle. Is the Volvo C70 a HT Turbo or a LT Turbo?
