Fair Price for my car

[NickCats]

If you look at Kelley Blue Book :

$13.2k trade in
$16.3k private party
$21.0k retail

If you look at Nada Guide :

$15.9k trade in
$18.9k retail

There are 5 - 2001 Boxsters for sale in the US on AutoTrader :

Highest Price : $18,890
Lowest Price : $13,800
Average Price : $16,895

( these all have between 100k and 109k miles )

I would say somewhere between $16.3k and $17.4k private party.

Just bought my yellow on black 2001 S at a dealer for 16,990 with 82K and outside in excellent shape and interior is fair so take that with a grain of salt

Nick, did you put in the base 2001 Boxster when getting the numbers above? If so, since the original poster has an S model, I'd guess the numbers would be somewhat higher.

bigb,

For KBB and Nada, numbers are based on a 2001 S.

For Autotrader, it is a mix of both the base and the S.

Thanks,

Nick

What I've found from my recent research is that the Boxster prices don't really factor in the year as much as other cars.

To find an accurate price I'd recommend checking Autotrader and other sites for all Boxster S' in the 2000-2002 range with similar miles across the country.

If you can't specify an S model just manually go through the listings, because there are definitely alot more base Boxsters available.

As a private seller you can use the car's options and service records to your advantage when working with potential buyers.

Good points that I had not thought of. I always think of blue book or nada value, but when I was selling my bike those values were tossed out because they were 1/3 or 1/4 what the market would bear, depending on where you lived. So include a market search for what others are asking.

you can always ask for 18k and see if u get any interest. Its easy to drop the price down if nothing works out. Honestly thought, its such a buyers market right now that I dunno who would pay more then 14-ish for an old boxster with over 100k but theres always people who don't know better lol

Does anyone have feedback on the edmunds.com web site. I have used them for new car pricing and it is very accurate.

When it comes to used car pricing for Porsche they seem to really low ball the value. For example a 2001 boxster S in silver with 107k miles in average condition shows a trade in value of $11,528...a private party value of $13,437 and a dealer retail of $15,356. This just doesn't seem right compared to the other web site pricing.

Usually I really like the Edmunds site for info and pricing but this really makes me wonder...
