I was just browsing through some online car sites checking out the tours and I was wondering how much can people really expect to sell their high mileage Contour for? What got this started was I saw this car : http://www.carsoup.com/used/detail.asp?usedVehicleID=2431326&XDealerID=13&minYear=1998&maxYear=2000&searchID=20884696&vehicleTypeID=1&UVViewID=4&Page=1&ASU=0

No sunroof, leather seats or foglights and they want almost $5,000 for it. Not to mention it has 115,000 miles on it. Just seems a little high to me. I was assuming my car would only be worth $2500 - 3000 if I sold it. Comments?

Hmm.. KBB says $3875, and that would be if everything would is great on the car. But, In my opinion $3500 could be fair, depending on the condition and if you could get the price down that far.


My car lacks the esteem, respect and styling of an SVT... I have a fever and the only perscription is more SVT-ness. Need: SVT E0 or E1 wheels SE Side skirts 98-00 Contour SVT, minus current owner. http://www.myspace.com/35700273

Agreed...in my area, $3k tops if that even.

by the time i sell my SVT, i'll have over 100k on it. I'm at 99xxx now. The KBB value for private sale is $4500, though i doubt i'll get that much.

I know People try to sell there cars for way to much. You have to realize that your not going to get what you like unless the car is close to perfect.

Oh well you can blame them for trying.
