Hello all,

I am trying to thoroughly evaluate the resale value of my car as a TRADE IN. There are a few mechanical things wrong and the cost of fixing is very high, which is making me consider selling instead.

Car: 2001 white tip box. black top, grey int. no options aside from tiptronic and a 6-disc. Car has 41000 miles. Interior and paint are near-immaculate and the top is brand new.

Issues: Small oil leak (minor RMS) and a small power steering fluid leak.

What would a reasonable trade-in value be given those issues? Now, what would a reasonable trade-in value be if I did not have those problems.
