Private Party Value $5,110
Trade-In Value $3,480
1999 Contour SE Good Condition, 69K miles
I owe 2k on it so at least I am not upside down on it.
I paid $9400 on it (2001) with 25K on it.
Drive it for business and recovered $13,140 in mileage cost ($0.365/mile)
I've paid about $2500 in gas, $2000 in Insurance and $1800 in Maint.
So 15700 Expense, 13140 in income = Car has cost me $2560 to own it for 2 years. If I sold it, I would have driven it for 2 years free.
Not a bad deal. Drive free for 2 years essentially.
However, I intend to keep driving it another 2 years. Mileage rate is now $0.38/mile. About 18000-20000 miles a year. Car will be paid off by April.
I will make money on the deal. In the $1500 - $2500 range.
Get paid to drive for 4 years - Even better deal.
I've done this twice already. With an 96 escort and before that, an 89 Toyota Pickup.
FRiends at work ask why I don't take a company car @ $130/month cost. (Taurus w/ Vulcan right now is Co. Car) and I say I prefer to make money rather than pay, and I prefer the cars I use rather than the generic leased cars the Company provides.

Try getting that in the real world, year 2000 Contiques are going for that in dealer ads. KBB "high retail" is the top value, and is mostly used by insurance companies and banks. But real world transactions are lower. Ever hear the term "never pay retail"?
My trade in is down to $2800, and I'd be lucky if I got $5000-5300.

$2865 for trade-in & $6100 for private sale. Private sale seems to only give a price for "excellent" condition though I'd only class mine as "good".
-edit- I got $3700 & $5k respectively from NADA.
