Default Need help, what to price my 2008 at????

I live in Phoenix, AZ and am looking to sell my 2008 base model with 6 speed manual and 3LT interior options but not sure what to price it at. It just turned 35k miles, is Crystal Red Metallic and has a few "upgrades" to include Billy Boat exhaust, Airaid intake, GM Racing spoiler, and Z06 replica wheels. Any advice, suggestions or help would be much appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!

Anywhere from $22K-$29K. But I'd check all the sources you can, and maybe even limit them to your general area. I'm thinking, cargurus, cars.com, autotrader, etc. Those will be asking prices. If you can see sold prices at ebay or some such, it might work, too. See what carmax and local Chev dealers are asking for their used cars. Many times, what works in one part of the country does not work in another. CA is totally different from TX, for instance. Advice here may or may not work for you. You'll have to do the work.

Bought my 2007 (base / silver / automatic / two roofs) from a Chevy dealer near Beaumont. 24,900 miles - cost $23,500.00.

Did a lot of looking and I would expect it would be around $26,000 at a dealership here / Houston area.

Just looked at Car Gurus. Looks like you can get a 08 for about $25 / $26 Base. May be a bit lower than what I wrote above.

Need to check with Kelly Blue Book and look at local sales in your area.

Private party sale I say 23,000-24,000. List it for $26,000 and see what happens.

Carmax trade you are looking at 20,000.

I had my 08 Z51 3lt auto with Navigation, NPP exhaust option 82k miles for sale last summer. Very clean and like new interior, lots of documents, original window sticker and sales brochures. I got a lot of calls, but the offers were 17500 to 20000. I decided to keep it and I'm glad I did.

Prices are falling. I would say $25-27k asking, prepare for less if you really want to sell it. Dealer offer probably wont break $20k.

I forgot to mention a few things. When I had my ads on Craigslist, Autotrader, CarGurus, and Cars.com, I would get a lot of text messages from out of state. They usually wanted me to email them more pics. If I said I'll text you more, they would give some excuse trying to get my email address. This can be a scam. They want to send you something and when you open the attachment, they can do their thing. Also, I screened callers. Some people are just tire kickers or joy riders. I'd ask if they have financing or cash. Some would say that they need to sell a car first, or talk to the bank, to which I would say do that first, then come and look at it. I'd also tell them I have no intention of going lower than book price. If you don't have a good gut feeling about someone, there's no law that says you have to let them in your car. Best regards

After further review ask $26,000 accept $24,000. This is from private party. Trade in more like $20,000

This if car is considered excellent condition, meaning minor signs of wear regardless of mileage.

Good luck on the sale.

From what I've seen, 25-26K in pocket is good for both buyer and seller.
