I have placed 9 cars in autotrader magazines and 5 never sold and the other 4 took at least 6 months to sell.
I think you have to consider a few different variables when you ask this question. What am I selling and Am I being fair with my price? Am I being completely honest about the vehicle upfront? Do I display pictures that accurately showcase my vehicle?
Tips like this will help improve your chances of selling your car from websites like autotrader.
I would use a site like Kelly Blue Book. This should be able to tell you not only the retail value, but also the trade in and private party value for your vehicle.
100-300 US Dollars.
I just bought one from a private party for $75.
According to autotrader, a 2010 used Ford Escape's trade in value in excellent condition should be around $18,500. If their is any damage to the vehicle the price would lower.
Roughly $150 at a gun show, $125-140 private party
Visit Kelley Blue Book for an up to date value including options
Yes, blue book value is helpful. It can provide trade in value, private party value, and the value of the vehicle. You can also enter the condition of the car to get a better value.
honestly, it should only be about 7k but no one's going to pay for it, so at best, you'll get a buyer from around 5-6k. goodluck.anthony v
Your vehicle, in good condition, with 150,000 miles, is worth about $3000 trade in value and $4000 private party value. This value could be more or less depending on factors like mileage, and overall condition.
Yes you pay Texas Sales tax. Texas has passed a new law for private party sales regarding sales tax though, you used to be able to pay tax on what you paid for the vehicle but now you will pay tax based upon the "book" value of the vehicle unless you get a licensed Dealer to give you a written value of the vehicle
Yes! the reason is because taxes have to be assessed for the value of the vehicle for registration purposes
NO. But you will pay sales tax when you tag and transfer title. Based on the value of car... not the actual sales price
