Selling the old girl. Need opinions on price please.

Just bought a "19 G70(it's a beast!) so I need to thin the herd.

I realize that finding the "right buyer" dictates the "right price" but I'm a little lost where to start with an asking price. KBB ranges from $2150-$4000 but doesn't take into consideration a relatively young engine and trans.

Stats:
Body 330k miles(shows some wear but not bad given life in rust belt)
J35A3 130k miles(perfect condition)
AV6 92k miles(perfect condition)
Audio equipment
New tires
Excellent general mechanical condition.

Thoughts on where to start and end on price?

Thanks everyone!

Pull one end of the door boot off and fish some 12ga or 14ga solid copper wire through the boot towards the inside of the vehicle, tape speaker wire to that and pull it through. I'm sure you could find a youtube video of it.

Sold within 36hrs for asking price of $3,900. It was a great car that treated me well for 18 years.

It's a beast! 3.3TT AWD Sport. 365HP and 374ft/lb. For about $600 I can grab a Burger JB4 ECU piggyback and up the power pretty substantially with different plugs and high octane.

This thing is a LOT of bang for the buck!

Congrats on the sale and the buy. It's always hard to put on number on something you did so much work on. Buyers tend to value "upgrades" less than sellers. In your case, I think the buyer got a good deal!

Thanks. I got lucky me thinks.

It went to a good home. The buyer is a master welder that likes to turn wrenches and really appreciated the work I put into it.
