Canadian pricing help...

[Numb78]

I appologize if this is not the right forum.... I'm thinking of selling my 2003 P5 and was looking for some pricing help. It's a bone stock laser blue (with exception of PRM cold air intake, tinted windows, and hidden hitch Class 1 hitch) with about 60K km. Car has been excellently maintained with no issues. I'm hoping for around $16 000 cdn but before I post/advertise I thought I would ask some opinions.

Well let me have it, am I to high, to low or about right..... any opinions would be appreciated.

I'm going to start saving some coin and get the new Mazda 5 when it comes out, need more space for growing family.

how many miles?

how many miles?

60 000 km I think thats about 37 500 miles

Southern Ontario pricing I'm looking for. I've checked the Auto trader but the majority of those cars are dealer priced so it's hard to make a fair comparison against the over priced dealers.

well i bought my 02 p5 for $11,000 with around 20,000 miles on it, nothing wrong at all with the car and i love it!

My guess is that $10,000 USD is a fair asking price. That would translate to $12,343 Canadian. So maybe ask for $12,500 Canadian.

Well from the numbers I've seen around the net I don't think it's worth it to sell. Since I still have a years worth of payments on it @ $12 500 cdn I'm not going to see enough of a return to bother selling. Looks like I'm just going to be driving it till the wheels fall off!! NEVER BUY A CAR BRAND NEW!! I've lost way too much money in too short a period of time.... I barely lost anything on my Nissan Pathfinder I don't understand why these cars are depreciating so fast?? Is it just that the market is flooded with them??

Ummm, Sounds like you didn't understand that a Car is not an investment.
