Just in.... Now my SVT Focus is being sold for 15,000 with fresh tire rotation a full tank of gas and i will even drive it to your house.

 

Eh...private seller Kelley Blue Book value on your car in "excellent" condition is $12,300. You may do better selling your car using the auto trader...you have more of a chance selling it over blue book value to people who aren't affiliated with a car-related web site. Good luck to you!

 

Not a full tank of gas????????? No wayyyy.



Just playing man, i think your going to need to come down alot lower. Just bend over and take it like a man

 

More like $1500 tops. We just tried to trade in my sister in laws and it's a 99 ZX2 and it was worth onnly 2k.

 

they where going to give me a little over 4k for my 99 zx2 and it has a hole in the bumber. good luck seeling you car man. Go with the auto trader. A buddy of mine sold his 240 on there and got 3,500 more than what he invested into it.

Take a KBB report in with you with the trade-in value. Sounds like they were trying to jack you man. Hell I'd pay 2k for a 99ZX2

 

I'd say put it in Autotrader. Its only $40 and stays in till it sells. Also, whether or not your car is worth less, sooner or later some schlub will pay what you want for it. Good luck.



As for depreciation, shit I just had to pay $3k to my credit union to get my car payoff down to what it was worth so I could refinance it and put it on the selling block. Ehh, whatcha gonna do....

 

yeah i got it on autotrader but no replies yet.

 

SVT Focii (plural for Focus) don't hold value for squat. Focii in general are bad. I was looking at dumping mine, and only was going to get $12K for it, trade in. That was at a dealership, where my uncle was the GM. I owe quite a bit more than that, seeing as how I took the first 2002 SVT Focus off of Freedom Ford's lot, and paid a pretty penny for it. "Gotta have it" syndrome is hurting me in a big way now a days!

Real Estate is definitely the way to invest your money. Hands down. Buy low, hold out, sell high.

As for listing it in the Auto Trader. It's no longer 'runs til it sells' at the $39.99 price. It's more like $74.99 for that option I believe. I just sold my 93 Civic Coupe in there, and only opted to have it listed for 3 months.

 

yeah i put the focus in autotrader with the run till it sells which puts it on the internet and in the mag. It was like $80.
