Joungers GITT and answer me a question or 7.

What website(s) do you recommend for trying to determine the value of a used car? For example, if TOTE1 was selling his 2003 Mazda Miata with 22k miles on it for $7 and that's all the info I have other than it being in photog condition, how do you experts determine if it's worth more than 7 or less than 7? This is really the only question I have, but now that I have your attention I'll take this opportunity to ask you to post tiddies ITT as well.

There's no definitive answer.

I typically check several different sites and do a loose average of the results. You can use a couple car appraisal sites and also check Autotrader or a similar marketplace to see actual asking prices. Trade-in values have significant variance from dealership to dealership, so if you get a trade-in appraisal you don't like, keep shopping around.

Thousand dollar car it ain't worth s***. Might as well take your $1000, and set fire to it.

I was helping son buy a used car
Dec 9, 2020, 12:50 PM
|

went to all the sites and got around $18k to $20k range, including just looking for other cars for sale.
Then went to Carmax and got a price as if I were selling, they offered me $15k for the car that we were going to buy. Offered the seller $14k and they took $14.5.
Probably doesn't help, but fun facts.

You don't have to do all of that. Just go with your gut

most of these car dealers can't move very much on price anyways. And most are on the up and up.
Just trust them.
