So what's the service history on the car? Any other additions? Aftermarket parts?

If the service records are up to date, and there's nothing else to add, I'd think it would be in a range of $60-65,000.00!

Congrats on the Ferrari. I'll own one of those at some point, along with a Dodge Viper. Two more of my dream cars I will own.

service is up to date. car is stock except for bluetooth.

I think that starting at a range of $65 to 68K is decent..

You might find people offering you $55 to 60K.

x50?, A non x50 car might be 55-63k, x50 will add a few grand.

Someone on this board made a good point the other day in discussing car values. He stated that we tend to undervalue our cars sometimes and I do feel that is true. When you start shopping prices on autotrader and the like, you can see prices all over the place. Also when selling a car on autotrader, you might find a first time P car buyer who really does not know the market for these cars and will be willing to pay more than the rest of us here.
Good luck with the sale. Of course we all hope that you get top dollar for your car and a quick sale.

Take the lowest price you can stand and add $5-$7K for wiggle room.

You can always go down in price, but very rarely can you go up.

If you have a truly nice car with 'no stories' it will sell- there's a lot of beat up junk out there.

PS. You can take a proactive stance for the truly fussy customer and get a print out showing no type A or B over revs in the ECU memory- unless there are- then don't mention it!

You didn't answer Surgeon's question....does it have the X50 option? That makes a difference to some prospective buyers....

MSRP/2 is usually where they tend to end up

I suppose there is some truth to this, BUT- I think it is mostly fantasy. Sure, you hear about the guy that walks into a dealership having looked at KBB and pays $75k for a stock 2003 with 25k miles... but anyone that is SHOPPING on line is also PRICING on line. It will be rare to find that one-in-a-thousand-buyer.

To maximize price, you are looking to convey specific messages to a buyer: meticulous care, no stories, complete disclosure, solid communications, etc. By having very complete and detailed sales materials you will justify your price AND attract that buyer that values such information and the underlying vehicle. Don't say "firm"... the ad should convey 'I know what the market is and if you do we can come to a reasonable compromise'

I'd price in the middle of the range, definitely not at the top. Americans by and large don't really know how to negotiate very well and will be scared off by top dollar. The car I bought was first posted at $103k. The owner was shocked that he had no calls for 6 months. I bought it for $77k seven months after the first ad. Seriously.

PS And that was actually about msrp/2!

I have my car listed at $65k. It's an '01 with 26k and 1.5 years left on CPO. I'd let it go for $58 or $59 but am in NO hurry to sell.

Didn't you just buy this car fairly recently, or am I mistaken?

arr0gant

About a half a year ago. I have it listed but don't really wanna sell it.

kilrgt

You guys in the US have great deals, 02 and 03 have an asking price of 85 and 95 K. I guess we pay more but in the long run we may get more when we sell them.Make sure whatever you decide to buy get a PPI.

Condor Man

I Agree!!

An 02 - 03 TT would sell for $160,000 USD in Australia YUK!!

Bu the way, what happened to Ignacio?? Didn't he like the prices that were provided??
