I'm planning on selling my 2000 and picking up a 2002 but what should I expect for my car. I plan to sell it privately. Here are my options:

2000 SE
Sterling Mist
Leather, sunroof, CC package, Bose, climate control.
15,000 miles.
Immaculate condition.

I took it to one dealer and he offered me $17,000. Needless to say, I left. What should I expect?

 

You should expect around 20K from a dealer.

Check out www.nada.com and www.kbb.com for consumer pricing of used vehicles, and some very useful info to understand what to expect and why.

 

I've found www.edmunds.com to be very accurate and realistic compared to any other site. According to Edmunds you car has a trade in value of about $17,800 or so.

 

I usually look at www.edmunds.com and www.kbb.com and take the middle between them. One always seems high and the other always low.

 

nothing like losing 5K a year (or 20%) a year. joy...
