Fair Price for my car

[arkaplan]

I want to sell my 01 Boxster S. It's silver paint with black interior.
Here's the bad thing it has almost 107k miles on it. What should I be asking for it?
Any ideas are appreciated.

what sort of options do you have? 18" wheels? Litronics? upgraded stereo? hard top? any aero? Did the car have major servicing at 60 and 100K miles? original clutch? How many miles on the tires? What sort of condition is the paint and windshield in? Any dents or body work that needs to be done?

I often check Autotrader or Ebay to see if there are similar cars not attracting any bids. If the cars is at $18,000 and there are zero bids well then I can sorta infer that the price right now is somewhere below that. But often times the bidders back out of deals so you have to take the price action with a grain of salt.


I'm curious about your car because I have an '00 S with about half the mileage.
In the current economy that is BAD for sellers I don't think I would sell my car unless I absolutely had to. But with deprecriating assetts its better to get what you can while you still can and take advantage of the good deals on other cars.

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.
