Default Real World Value

Good morning everyone. I'm going to be selling my vette and cash in on the equity for some varying reasons. Here's my question though. I know that KBB says that the retail value is 42K and the private party value is 40K. In all reality, I'm not going to get that kind of money for my car. What do you all really think the real world value of my car is based on the below info:

2004 Commemorative Edition Vert
6mn
every single option available
14.5K miles

Thanks in advance for the opinions.

Bring it to AZ and you'd probably get that.

Good luck on the sale!

When I bought my 'Vette online, I did some very intensive internet searching all over the country, and from what I found, I'm sure yours will bring that. Good luck!

I have the same car, except 6500 miles. List of 58.7k sound right? If I had to sell mine, I would think a low of 37k, and a high of 42k. Middle ground puts it at 39.5k. Depends on the local market. Good luck.

I would have guessed high $30's or low $40's. Trick is to find someone that really wants the car. You might think about posting it on the Internet - that way a lot of people will see it. Take some good quality photos around an hour before sunset - that light is the most complimentary! Good luck with the sale!
