Whats my car worth?

[Triple Lock]

2008 Infinit G35x awd. 202k miles. Leather, nav.

Everything works, no check engine lights.

Very strong running VQ35HR V6.

Just wondering. Its a great car except for 24mpg hwy. I drive it everywhere.

Carvana that thing. Then add some for a private sale.

Carvana says 1100.00. Interesting. Of course its worth more to me as a daily driver. Very comfortable and quick car.

$5,000-$7,000 retail in this crazy market. That being said it is hard to wrap my head around spending that much money for a car with 202k miles.

Does it burn oil like those engines are known for? Have you had to replace the catalytic converters yet?

Try webuyanycar.com

They seem to be closer to true value that carvana

No, it doesnt use any oil. No catalytic converter replacement. It has a small oil leak from the passenger side valve cover. It doesnt leak enough to drop the level between changes, or leave a drop on my driveway.

Now is the time to sell. People are overpaying for just about everything. Everything except my Hyundai 😂

Would you take tree fiddy?

The best way to find out the true value of your used car is black book. Hard to get ahold of one and the value changes weekly.

Black book is what a dealer would pay to buy your car from a wholesale auction.

Then, if they’re reputable, they fix whatever’s wrong with them, clean and wax them and mark them up for sale.

You won’t get that price unless you do the work.

A reasonable price for a used car as an individual seller is 10-25% over black book depending on condition.

In this market if you are looking to sell take whatever KBB says it is worth in a private sale and ad 25%. If you are not in hurry you might get it. Adjust from there.

$11,500. Based on listed sales similar in this market as private sales.

 

[Jerzsubbie]

I’m seeing $6-8k on fb marketplace for similar year and mileage.

I’d still ask for $9-10k. The market is crazy.

This may be true pre-pandemic and pre-car shortage but not in the current market. Dealerships are paying above MSRP for trade-ins at the moment and I’m sure the Black Book cannot keep up with the current craziness.

OP - as stated already, I think you can get $8-10k for your car today. Which sucks for buyers because 2 yrs ago, it would probably only be worth about $2k (but it is great for you)

Black book should reflect that. Like I said a new book is issued weekly. And it’s an average of all dealer auctions across the country.

If they’re paying more at trade in they’re paying more at auction.
