Asking price

I love when people say that. It's so...helpful!



Just because you got a ridiculously great deal doesn't mean your purchase price is valid since it's obviously an outlier (outlier: A value that "lies outside" - is much smaller or larger than - most of the other values in a set of data).

What exactly is your malfunction? Comprehension problems? My purchase price was nothing but an arbitrary number of MY specific purchase. Which was indicated in my opening paragraph.
If you choose to disagree with my opinion of how used vehicle value is ascertained your wrong. Ask any used car dealer. Auctions and used car dealers drive the value guides that are specific to regions in the country.
My opinion regarding NOT putting a number is is actually a bigger favor than all you arm chair QB's.
The bottom line is if you want to maximize your profit, do the research yourself of what the specific market value is. Giving the op numbers from bum fuch where ever mean nothing to them unless you live in the same town. Your not doing them any favors generous one.
Understand yet? Not likely. Carry on sheep herder.

The heated debate is always bound to rise when someone wants a number.
The bottom line is it's worth what someone that wants what you have wants to pay.
Specifics are to your area. What others have SOLD for in the last couple of months. Factoring in age,condition,miles,options and how motivated you are to sell it.
I bought my 11 SCAB in 10/11 from the original selling dealer in Cinci Ohio used with 2700 miles on it. I was able to speak with the long time dealer customer that bought it. It was garaged it's only winter on the road, was used to haul plants and bushes for the yard. It still smelled new and wasn't broken in yet. Options listed, I paid 30k shipped to me. It's never a good idea to ask others what is a good price to put on your vehicle. Good luck.

Took me about six months of an hour or so a day searching to find it. No loan. It took a couple more months to find that Silverado in Indianapolis in 2006. Flew out and drove that home. All stock with all options, 4k miles. Owned by a Chevy plant worker in Ft. Wayne. Paid 19 out the door for that.
Sorry for the off topic gibb.
