how would you know how much to ask for a car?

Answer 1

Look up its year and and make. There are websites and books to tell you the value of your car. Then you must consider any damage or broken parts. Check it out on a search engine. You will find something.

Answer 2

I would look at a dealer website. They usually price the cars for what they can sell for....obviously you can't just look at one dealership, since most have some mark up. Just do research on different dealerships, make sure you have the right model, miles etc. And just so the rest of you know....Kelly Blue Book and other pricing guides are just that, guides. I work for a dealership and if I were to sell cars for KBB prices, people would seriously be screwed......so when buying or selling, do research. Oh yeah, and if a dealership does a one price--as in no negotiating, that price is probably really competitive.

Answer 3

Kelly blue book and nada both have excellent resources online. Be sure to be realistic when rating your vehicle though as it makes a huge difference. I recommend reading the definitions for the rating classes before deciding that your vehicle is in "excellent" condition. Both guides are very specific about what rates an excellent, good, etc. vehicle.

Answer 4

Try the website www.edmunds.com. The site has you input information about the vehicle you want to sell or trade in. You can ask for retail value or wholesale value.
You can also do a search to see if a similar vehicle is available for sale and at what asking price.

Answer 5

Use the Kelley Blue Book.
