how did you have your auction set on ebay. when my Zl1 sold I listed it right around dealer trade with no reserve and people just bid. It was the third time I listed though. the first two times I listed buy it now accept offers and it went just like you described. another strategy would be price it at a point you could throw in shipping ~800-1k but some people get all wrapped around the axel on shipping. I would defiantly go get a solid trade in offer from a dealer so you know what price point you break even is. say they say they will give you 52k for example well you could list it at 53k free shipping and anything extra would be money in your pocket. (i don't know your options or milage so not sure of actual value) the two that sold on ebay sold in the 52-54k range which is about KBB trade in on PP TP car.

sounds stupid but that is the way my Zl1 sold. I kind of scratched my head afterwords. it is a bad time of year though might actaully do better around tax return time. I assume you have it listed on the forums as well. I did get a couple solid hits there the first week I listed it but I was dumb and thought I was going to get a bit more.

Maybe knock your price down on the private sale. You could just go to the dealer and see what they will do. If it's not what you like then just pull the pin on the deal. I was in the car biz for many of years and heard a lot of stories about unscrupulous deals . I wish you luck .

Money always has to go to the dealer. The last thing they want is to have a car that sits forever. They have bills and salary to pay. Most dealers these day do not care what the books say the car is worth they care what the auction price is, and I am not talking about Barrett Jackson I am talking about your local auction that bids money as low as they can go. I checked the local web site hear and the last Shelby 500 with 10,000 miles went for $32,000. in a dealer auction, skyline auto auction in ,PA

People come in thinking "oh, he must be desperate to sell the car" or something, that's the reason why the low ball offers. Check out Vroom, they will quote you via the Internet and they pick up the car at no charge. They offered me 5k more than any dealership on my Z06. Didn't sell it to them but was curious what it was worth.

Yes, sometimes it makes sense to just trade it in vs sell private party. Just don't be afraid to get multiple trade in offers.

I have only traded 1 vehicle to a dealership because I didn't wanna bother with the private sale. They gave me a fantastic deal though, I could've only squeezed 500 bucks on a private sale but when it comes to performance cars, autotrader ftw. ESPECIALLY if the vehicle you are selling is modded. I sold both my evos (separate times ofc) on auto trader in less than a week. 1 sold in 4 days the other in 6. Both buyers flew in, signed papers and drove back. |

I'll give autotrader a try until the Camaros start coming in. I was offered 48 at a Cadillac dealership, I was toying with the idea of trading it in for a 2013 Z06, but changed my mind. The guy at the dealership said if wasn't for the time of year, he would of been able to offer me more for the car.
I traded in a Focus ST for my Shelby when I bought my Shelby. That was definitely worth it. I paid 25,600 for my loaded ST3 focus st, and they gave me 24k for the trade in. That in addition to the tax break made it like I hardly lost anything. |
