I'm in the process of trying to sell my Carrera S cab for either a new "S" or a turbo and have no idea what to price my car at. KBB says anywhere from 68-75, and other comps in my area are in the upper 70's.

The car is an 06 pretty loaded with full leather, adaptive seats, bose, park assist, 19" Sport Design Wheels etc etc. 14k miles also.

Am I way off base asking around 75k for my car?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Original owner? In-service date (for warranty purposes)? Sticker price? And a full list of options would help.

 

I am the original owner. In service date is August 2005 (one of the first 2006 S cabs) , I do not recall the day of the month specifically but can find that out when I return home from work.

Options:
Black Full Leather
Mats
Adaptive Sport Seats
Heated Seats
3 spoke multifunction wheel
Park Assist
Bose High End
19" Sport Design Wheel
MSRP: $102,335



Thanks!

 

color?
no sport chorno?

 

Color is Arctic Silver Metallic over black full leather and black top.

No sport Chrono

 

I'd say low 70's to move.

 

I concur- you should be able to get $73K for it-

 

I agree with the others, ask low to mid 70s. You should be able to get $73, and may get a little more if you're lucky. You have nice options.

 

nice options, except lacking the chrono. with the chrono 75 is easy, without maybe 73 if you can find a buyer don't care about it.

 

Great! So I'm not too off base on my price.

Now the question is what is the best place to unload this car?
I've always leased my p-cars so I don't know the best avenue to sell these types of cars. Cars.com? ebay? Autotrader? newspaper?

Thanks!

 

Regarding the chrono, I'd find the *** more appealing than the SC, so I doubt that some buyers would discount too much for lack of SC.

I have always used AutoTrader and Craigslist for selling. The nice thing about AutoTrader is that you can select "run til it sells" option for $59, and keep renewing if necessary, for no additional cost. I also find AutoTrader the easiest one to use when I'm looking, since I can select very specific sort criteria and get notifications whenever a car matching my criteria comes up.

Good luck.

 

Depending on how fast you want it to sell look on auto trader and see what they are listed for. Put your car as the lowest or close to the lowest priced one on there and it will sell fast.

 

Since these cars are priced high why not trade it in and get the tax credit toward a Turbo? I would take 68 in trade or 73 on the open market if jumping up to a Turbo .

I think you'd get either but now is the time . The Turbo bargains are out and the carrear S is selling well .

 

Did you find out what the dealer will give you as a trade in?

 

Yea, thats one thing I still need to do is get a baseline trade offer from a dealer. The only thing that worries me is that according to KBB, wholesale/trade in is going to be high 50's low 60's. I am looking to get at LEAST 68 and would prefer 73+.

Do you really think 68 is realistic for trade in? Keep in mind I live in MN where we can only drive these cars 6 months out of the year.

Thanks for all of your great responses to everybody! This has been very helpful for me!
