i have been wanting to try selling my cl to get out of payments and just get something cheaper that i can buy cash. Can you guys give me an idea what it is worth
2001 Acura CL
92k miles
Fully Loaded but no navi
Has aftermarket deck alpine d300 with Navigation with new disc from alpine
The car runs great never had any problems with it. Has the new tranny for a while and no problems before or after the tranny. Outside and inside in good condition. Maintenance has just been kept up with new brakes and rotors. Located in Pueblo,CO

 

forgot to mention that i would probably pull the deck out and navigation and put the stock deck back in.

 

CLP with close to 100K miles... hmmm.. that's a tough one...

Check out kbb.com, edmunds.com and nada.com

 

$8-$9K How much do you owe?
Do you have a place like carmax by you? www.carmax.com

 

i owe around 10.5k to 10.7k I can always take the deck out and sell it to help recover the loss of the car.

 

how much would carmax give me? The nearest one is like 3 hours away

 

Carmax offered me 8K for my 2001 Acura TL w/ 99,700 miles. I sold it for $10,250.

 

Looks pretty clean buddy. Try posting it for sale on craigslist.com for about $11k and see if you get any takers. Thats how I sold mine and it didn't take very long either.

 

Glad you're still around LH. How much did you end up selling yours for? How many miles?

 

Thanks htown. I ended up getting $13,500 for it with 68k miles. I probably could have gotten $14k but I just wanted it gone so I could buy the Jeep.

 

i tried it in denver craiglists right now and no hits.

 

Carmax will give you wholeseale price. But it also depends on the condition & miles.

 

Nadaguides.com says the average trade-in is $10,200 and the average retail is $12,475 (based on 92k and 80220 zip).

 

I would say if you try to trade it in you will be lucky to get about $8K. It's not a type S and it's got 92K miles on it. Even though KBB says it's higher. My advice is to try selling it on Autotrader, Craigslist or e-bay or something.

 

Knock off $2k for any numbers you get from any sites. No one wants a used 100K mile auto CLP.

 

Then based on that he will get more like $6000 since KBB says a CLp with 92K is bearly wroth $8K.

 

Try talking to a local dealer. Maybe they will let you put it on consignment. I know Pikes Peak Acura will let you and they seem to always have a CL on their lot. They can sell it for sure.

 

That's why I didn't want to quote a number in my first post... I'm didn't want to post $6-8K, but that's my feeling... With the fact that it's a CLP and the autotragic warranty is over at 100K, it's gonna be a hard sell unless it listed with a bargain basement price...

I'm seeing $10K 01 CLS's in my area all the time with 80K miles or so...

Best bet is to sell this privately... hopefully you'll find someone who will give you close to what you owe... You're definitely going to have to come up with some money out of pocket to pay it off... and some people don't like to wait for a title on a under $10K car... (at least I don't... I like "title in hand" sales).

 

I sold my car $500 over KBB value for a 2001 Acura TL in Good Condition. If I was going to get desperate, I was going to take the loss and sell it into Carmax.

 

how does consignment work?

 

i tried looking on craigslist for my area and i can't even find one and if i do its more then what i was asking zip 81001

 

this is the only non s in the autotrader within 200 miles

Also i figure since i owe around 10500 i can always take the deck out and put the stock one back in and sell the alpine for good amount of money with the navigation.

 

184k!

 

chris i tried giving you a call on ur cell. I left a message

 

You've got PM.

 

awww.

here is another one that is near

this one isn't that close

I still think asking $11K sounds fair.

 

any advice where to advertise. Should i take out the deck? That setup costed over a grand by itself.

 

I agree with the Helmet that you should be able to get closer to $11K. I would try posting it on as many places as possible. Autotrader, e-bay, craigslist. Any and all of those will give you the most exposure.

 

Yeah take it out. You'll never get that $$ back if you include it in the car. Put the stock stuff back in.

 

Yeah, I would take anything aftermarket out of the car and return it to complete stock form. Even if it's just the stereo.

As far as advirtising goes, I'm still a firm believer in craigslist. It will take some time to sell it so you have to be patient. Advertise in Denver as well as Col. Springs (or anywhere in CO craigslist will let you).

If you don't need the car for transportation everyday, see if there is a place you can park it so that people will see it for sale. Put signs in it, keep it clean, etc. (oh yeah and... tire shine, clean wheels, and clean windows go a long way!)

If all else fails, like I said... Consignment. Find a place (like Pikes Peak Acura in the Springs) and see about putting it on their lot fow awhile.

 

called pikes peak acura and they said they would give me around 9600 for the car beause of the miles.

 

that's a good price...would they give that to you outright or with a trade in? either way with those miles, it's not a bad opition

 

Well, I'm kinda with Zootking, thats not bad for a "quick sale." If you are willing to hold out a little longer, you might be able to get a bit more if you really need it.

 

that price i gave you guys is cosignment so that means it sits on the lot until it sells for that price plus their cut.

 

Well, if thats the case, they're full of shit. They'll sell the car for more than that and pocket your money.

Try finding a place to park it where people can see it and slap some signs in it. In fact, put signs in it everytime you park it, or just put for sale on it at all times.

 

I think i am going to try that chris. Thanks for the advice I will go buy some signs soon

 

Those signs are like a dollar over at Wally World.

 

well i think i may have the car sold. Would anyone be interested in the electronics. ALpine D-300 touchscreen, Alpine Navagation with New DVD disc, Ipod interface connection, ALpine type R subs 12", Alpine Mono Subwoofer Amp Digital, 5 farad Capacitor?
