Wrestling with the idea of selling, but not sure the value.

I was wondering if you guys could help me try and figure out what my car is worth roughly. Checking online for Canada prices are all over the board it seems. Any rough estimates??

I would do a nationwide Autotrader.com (or the Canada equivalent) for comparably specced cars. Finding the right buyer might require some patience though.

Seems like most of them are listed for about 29k on there from dealerships.

The range of pricing for 3.0si is big, in the US at least it's anywhere between 22k to 28k.

To be at the top range the car would have to be pristine, you should be able to provide all maintenance records from day 1, proper break-in, no accidents and 2 or less owners.

After several months of dealing with tire kickers and @**holes I sold my '07 Montego Coupe with 48k to Carmax for $20k. Guess this isn't much help though being a coupe. I would think your roadster should generate more interest and hopefully be easier to move. Good luck!

Edit: I was hoping for $24k given the condition and mild mods. I would have been happy with $22k.

$29k is very optimistic from a sellers perspective for a 3.0si with 40k. Personally, I think you would be doing well to get $25k with the range being $23k-$25k.

Bear in mind guys, that Newff's car is in Canada, where, for reasons unknown to mortal man, cars cost about 40% more than in the USA, even though the Canadian and US dollars are roughly on par. That applies both to new and used vehicles.

My advice is to wait for the spring or early summer. A salesman at my local dealer told me he could have sold a dozen E85 Z4s in one week here this summer. So, I am hoping that Newff can ride that wave next summer and get a good price for his car.

sounds like a pretty good business model to me. Buy in US auctions, sell across the border!

+1 on waiting till Spring/Summer. You won't be able to move it during the winter very easily up there.

Thanks. It kills me, but I've decided it's for the best for now. I'll get another one later when I can actually use it more.
