I guess this is the right section of the board for this post....I was wondering if anyone knows from experience what my car would be worth as a for sale by owner, not a trade or dealer sale.

It is: an 04 TL non nav, auto
White diamond with grey (quartz?) interior
53k miles
new tires 2500 miles on them

never wrecked or smoked in with the mods listed in my sig.

I was thinking 18-20k....Is that reasonable?

Depends on where you sell it - Id say you can definitely get 20k

yeah I have looked at those, but I wanted to tap into people's thoughts that actually own these cars.

I am thinking of upgrading to a new black/navi but wanted to sell it before I do the deal so I can take advantage of the in and out.





Forgot to mention bumpers were repainted by dealer and I have a trimking lip for it as well.

I'd say 20K easily

Average Trade-In $26,275

Excellent $23,015

Good $21,495

Fair $19,360

You should get at least $21,000+

$20k just seems steep to me for a car with 53k (out of warranty) and doesn't even have navigation.

I think the mileage definitely is my down side, I was thinking of asking 20k or 19,995 and taking right around that for it.

A used car salesman that i used to know once told me: "there's an ass for every seat". Meaning, your car will sell for the right price once you find the right owner.

id say more than 20k. I have a 04 and it should go for more. I also have the pirelli's. Sick tires.

Don't hold your breath looking for a sleeper/Larry Doyle (AKA lay down). You can always test the waters, and if you price it competitively, you can stick to your guns easier. It will take patience though.

That is a lot of miles though...10,000 miles per year over the high average. Good luck to you!

between 20K- 22K try to get more for it even though it has high miles people know its a reliable car , secondly keep it spik and span , with a clear carfax history and one owner u shud get what u want

Kyle, The more accurate prices will come from here.

KBB and the rest seem to give an unrealistic price. When you get to the dealer, or you start dealing with selling it yourself, you will find it easier to price it. This way you won't get shocked when they start the process.

If My 04 w/ 11,000 miles isn't worth more than 21 Gs that's not right
because it feels like the same 35K if not more that I'm paying for it LOL

being able to prove it was properly maintained (providing receipts and other documentation) may help with the mileage issue. it may not get you more money for the car but should help seal the deal with prospective buyers. it would be important to me as a buyer. also, your location may cause you some issues as alot of cars from your part of the country have been under water recently. resale values vary quite a bit depending on the region anyway, so what a good price is in my area does not have much bearing on the price in your area.

I was looking for a used 3G when I bought my new one, but there were few in my area and they were too much money. it would also help you to search locally to see what other similar TLs are offered for within say, 200 miles of you location.

if your car is in excellent condition with the mods you describe, I would think $20K would be easily attainable. in my area, I would start higher. it helps if you have time to sit on it for a while...a modified car like yours may take the right person to appreciate and value the modifications.

I actually didn't think to mention that it was bought and service here at Acura of Baton Rouge, I even have the receipt for the installation of my ASPEC suspension.
I will get those together if I decide to put it up for sale.
