Default 06 question

I hope it's OK to ask what a 06 Automatic with every option and GPS would be worth 35K miles and perfect , never any problem , has the original battery and now chrome wheels. Thanks

Well, not quite every option since the wheels are the standard painted ones (not the extra cost polished or painted ones). You might want to also specify which suspension it has (standard or F55). The other big question; Are looking to buy it or sell it?

Kerbeck has an 07 Vert with 30K miles for $35K.

I would guess your's would be just below that.

What year is this? 05? Hard for me to tell cuz I'm a rookie. What options are all options?? F55? I think we need more info. On a trade? My guess on a trade would be in the high 20's. - 27k

As stated in the original post, it's a 2006. It's not quite as clear what options are on the car.

Back rotor looks solid, so my guess is no f55 either( pretty sure f55 includes cross drilled rotors?)

Sounds reasonable to me for the Denver area. I don't know what auto values are in your area. I didn't catch how many miles. Original battery! Be prepared to replace it very soon.

What ever you are willing to pay, and the seller is willing to take.

Are you looking for a car that really presses all you buttons, or one
to brag about how little you paid for it ... ?? Which do you think you will enjoy the most?

Opinions are like navels, everyone has one.

Just use the tools available to determine what the current market value is in your area. The "real test" comes from "real" buyers and sellers, buying and selling TODAY, not what a friend paid last month, last year.

Looks like a temporary plate on there. Maybe he just bought it and wants to know if he paid too much. $33000-$35000 would be a good bet. Whatever the reason, it's a nice looking car and if you like it you should be happy. Some people will always say "you paid too much". It's worth what you want to pay for it.
