Just for Grins I ran a true value estimate on EDMUNDS.COM for our 99 purple with 32,000 miles and condition = outstanding. The following is what they showed. Seems really low to me. Before anyone asks if we are thinking of selling. The answer is not just no, but HELL NO! Trade-In $22,511 |

If it "seems really low to me" then what do you think a REASONABLE value should be? |

Based on what I see selling both here and on Ebay. If our Prowler was stock I should be able to sell it for (ie private sale) for at least $28K to $30K if not more. Now with that said. Our Prowler has loads of mods. This can either hurt or improve the value depending on what a potential buyer may be looking for. It really doesn't matter as the car is not for sale and I did not buy it as an investment. On the other hand if something should happen dictating we sell it then it's nice to have the best possible value. This message has been edited by BeWare on 04-26-2006 at 01:56 PM |

For 1999 with 32,000 miles that is not stock (has personalized modifications), those prices seem about right, maybe even slightly on the higher side. ------------------ |

Kelley Blue Book shows a slightly higher value. I had to do a 2002 Chrysler instead of '01 Plymouth and there was no black tie option. mileage I put was 29,000 and the median value was around $34k for good condition. |

quote: Possibly with the mods you are correct. However the mods were not factored into the quote from Edmunds. Also while mods can have an negative impact they also could have a positive impact on value depending on the mods and what a buyer is looking for. I also know I cannot recoup the cost of our mods.

One thing that I have noted from years of buying the "Premium" edition with those extra accessories, is when it comes to trade-in values, you get the same as the stripped down model that may have been up to $10K+ less! That really sucks, but that is the used car market. Only if someone really wants YOUR car can you realize that extra money you have in it. The used car guy only sees YOUR car as what profit it can bring him. It is just another car on the lot. |

You did alright Ed getting the price for your '99 cat,,,maybe could have gotten another grand or two from the right buyer? When trading in a car,,,,dealers 'here' figure about 80% of low book price as the figure they will use for your trade-in's value,,, minus it's needs to make lot ready. Color,,,desirable model,,,clean ready to go condition may bring your value up several thousands of dollars,,,,to a limit. Usually,,,its better to sell outright like Ed did for retail price. |

mileage, condition and documentation is what I think are the defining points that impact market value. Just my humble opinion. Joe |

The last time I had a Kat for sale was around 6 months ago. It was a 2001 yellow with 28K miles on it. I had a guy tell me that KBB was only $23-$24K on it. I politely told him that he should contact Kelly Blue Book personally and ask them to sell him one for that. LOL |
