Good luck with the sale, but you will come to realize really quick that you are asking to much.

I also believe that NADA provides value most in favor of seller. Check KBB or even better, edmunds.

Cheapest listed 6-speed within 500 miles of me (Akron, Ohio) that doesn't have 130,000 or so miles or a bad carfax. Mine has desirable options and is in good shape.

KBB value for clean private party is similar to NADA clean trade, but doesn't have as many places to add options. Per KBB and NADA, heated seats, homelink, etc are essentially worthless. We all know that's not true.

I am in line with book values. Also, posting on forums is usually not great as everyone low ***** you no matter what you make the listing price.

Good luck. I just bought that exact same car 4 months ago for a little less. But I made seller replace the ac condensor and compressor. You are not too far off from what I paid though. I'm sure there is some room for negotiation. Awesome car though, sorry you are getting rid of it.

Definitely OBO. If I asked less and said firm, I'd still get lower offers

For sure! Only advice I have for you is to go-ahead and do the aux. port upgrade (see forum for instructions on that) it's really cheap (I paId $50 from the dealership), and installed it in 20 mins. It's just a really easy way to get your potential local buyers to jump on it. Honestly I think most people want that feature in a potential car more than any other feature (I would rather have aux port than heated seats... If it were one or the other of course). Cd changers are cool, but kind of dated and more trouble than their worth nowadays with everyone carrying around their entire music collection on their phones. GLWS though for sure!

Still have the car... kinda forgot about trying to sell it lately, but the weather is getting better and this thing needs to stretch its legs outside of my garage.

$12,500 would make it yours.
