Hey guys,

I'm trying to sell my car, and was wondering what a fair price was. I looked at the autotrader in my area and most 05 roadsters are going for around 34k. I have mine priced at 32K, is that too expensive? I'm not getting many calls (none actually)

2005 silver enthausist roadster, automatic, 12k miles. Blue book is around 30K. Should I go cheaper?

Thanks for your help...I really need to sell my car to pay off some loans.

 

Depends on how long you want to sit on it... You might get $32k eventually, but if your in a hurry to sell it then you might want to lower the price..

 

30450 more reasonable?

 

According to Edmunds TMV pricing (http://www.edmunds.com/used/2005/nis...ion=vdpresult), and assuming that your car has no side airbags, has 17" wheels, and is in clean condition (you can adjust options to get a more precise pricing), it shows that the Private Party value for your '05 Enthusiast Roadster with AT is $28,560.

That seems fairly accurate, since approximately 2 months ago I got my '04 Touring Roadster 6MT (every option except Navi) with 12K miles in great condition + 7yr/70K miles transferrable extended warranty for $27,000.

That said, I would try something around $30,000 ($30,450 seems reasonable), and lower the price if it does not sell after a while.

 

If you pay MRSP for a car, you automaticaly lose $3k the moment you drive off the lot.. The true value of the car is Invoice not MRSP...

If it was me I would sell it for $30k if you get no bites after few weeks then drop it to $29k wait few weeks more then try $28k etc...etc...

 

WOW...I gotta move to the U.S....I bought an 05 ZR with 12,000kms for $48,000cad...but it was mint...They are that much cheaper in the U.S.

 

That's a great deal. I got my 04 w/ 29k miles, loaded with no NAV. Well actually, it's a loaded Enthusiast so it doesn't have VDC either, but all the other goodies it has. I paid $27,000 for mine as well, but I didn't get an extended warranty. The dealer had it listed for $28,999 and didn't hesitate much when I offered $27k even. I tried to get down to $26,500 later but they didn't budge, mistake on my part, but I really wanted THIS specific car.

Of course I bought mine in the prime of convertible season, and it was a very favorable color combo (silver with blue top). There was a similarly equipped red one with 30k miles for $25k (listed price). Another reason I was attracted to mine was that it had polished Track Edition Rays forged wheels on it with brand new tires. I put a $1,500 value on those alone.

For the original poster, I think $29,500 is a good starting point.
