Selling my car...What should I price it at?

Question

1998 Subaru Outback Legacy
130,000 miles
Leather, CD, Power everything, Alloy wheels, Newer tires, new timing belt, water pump, brake pads, rear rotors...

Will need a new water pump...approx $600 worth of work

Edmunds value - Approx. $4635
KBB Value - Approx. $5900

Answer 1

A lot of Lien Holders, and Dealerships use: http://www.nada.com nowadays to price vehicles. You already have Edmunds and KBB down. Check nada and reach a happy medium between all three.

Make a little margin for the fact that it needs $600 worth of work.

A word of advice: When you tell someone that it needs work, they often bolt. I suggest fixing it and working it into the sale price. When you know there's something wrong with it right off the bat it kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Oh Thank god!!! i've wondered if legacys were outbacks for the longest of time. I love you for clearing that up.

I would say it depends on how badly you need the money, and how much time you're willing to wait. You can get your message out there for free on craigslist and Msn Expo, price it lower for quick sale, higher if you want the money

Lots of people buy cars based on KBB value and such, but I can't see any reason for someone buying a 130k mile car for 5 grand. features don't mean anything to someone looking at a 130k mile car.

Answer 3

I'd say 5 grand.
Dealers should sell this btw 5~6 grand.
But most importantly....
it depends on which area u are in.
If you are in East Coast, it should be bit cheaper.
If you are in the Los Angeles area, it should be
about rite.
The dealers would buy your car for 2 to 3 grand.
<=== used car salesmen.
