"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean Title History. The paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category.

I'll give ya $300 for it.

That's the trade-in value at a stealership. Those are always real low. Private sale would be much higher. My SVT shows $3,585 trade in, but nearly $6,000 retail and $7,500 value.

hehehe!
Hey brapple, don't you also have a cd player in your Mystique?

I bet that's an extra $5

aww, poor cars. It's funny but it's not.

yes I have a aftermarket cd player, door speakers and 2 12" subs in the trunk but I didn't count those as it wasn't stock. but then again I also have traction control, that has got to be worth somehting right

just check, saying I have a CD player adds $0 to the trade in value

private party value is $860

and retail is $1810

Tradein value for my car in good condition is $1930

... fair is $1475. To be honest I'd rate my car in between the two. I'd rather see the car go to a CEGer, too.

saying you have anything aftermarket usually adds $0 to the value too. also sad, but true.

Sully is depreciating at a decent clip...but still worth more than what i paid!

Private Party, Fair Condition...$4,910 (SWEET!)
Trade-in, Fair Condition...$2,840

Amazing to think this was a $40k car only 7 or 8 years ago.

I was kidding about the aftermarket extras adding to the value, hence the

I also knew that the numbers were trade in value.

I'll take it as a winter beater

literally..BEATER

I offered this Matt as well

I'm glad I got rid of my SVT when I did! It really is sad to see how badly the Contour/Mystique line depreciates.

agreed. when I inquired about possibly trading in my SVT when I bought my Mazda3, they were going to give me 1500 - which I lauged and said - 'yep, ok, no way....'.

a few months later, the car was sold for over 9k (selling some parts seperately as well).

poor cars - such good cars and get so much depreciation.
