I have a 98 Pewter Coupe with 36k miles. What is a fair price if I sell it?

Depends on the cars condition and options, but $20K would be an average starting price. Good luck.

I'd say that's pretty close.

I'd have to say $20-21K. Of course, the condition and options may make a difference.

I didn't notice what part of the country you're in but that plays a factor!

I'm from the Chicago area but I bought the car from a guy in Arizona about a year and a half ago. The car is in great condition both interior and exterior, just the normal wear and tear that comes with a 36k mile car. The only options the car came with is the auto ride control. I'm thinking about selling it and picking up a new 04. I would need to get about 24500 though, looks like its not gonna happen.

I just sold my 97 with 85k for 18k. 20 - 21k sounds about right for a starting price. Good luck!
