I noticed some guys doing this in the Fox section. Let's compare & see how much our cars are worth ..... BY THE BOOK. Let's see who get's the highest / lowest.



Rules:

1.) Must use www.kbb.com

2.) Use "Suggested Retail Value".

3.) Put in correct miles, options, etc.

4.) Users in countries other than U.S., please either use a U.S. zip code .... or convert to U.S. Dollars ..... for comparison's sake only.




I know I won't get the in the top, lol. It says my car's worth $4,760.


Mileage appears to be the largest factor. I guess a low mileage Cobra will take the win here .... and a high mileage GTS will get the lowest. :shrug:

$6570 in Excellent condition. But, the paint needs to be redone, and a couple replacement parts in the interior. KBB has changed since I last used it. I think in fair condition it said my car was worth $5k flat.
 
$7,190

I got a quote of $6,590. Not bad. I guess the convertible thing has something to do with it as well.

WOW!! if my car was a cobra, it would be worth $8,370. I left the mileage the same and everything else. Well, since I have a cobra motor in there, that's how much I'll ask if I sell it.
 
$5,540 :(

i only paid 4200 a few years ago for it :banana: but i have much more then that into it :nonono:
 
$6,210 and my car is in PERFECT condition. I would stab myself in the eye before I would sell it for that. Much like Rob (gmkillr) said, I wouldn't let it go for less than 10k even though mine has more miles than his.

Hell I will keep it forever if I have to lol.

In short, KB values should be taken with a grain of salt. What a person actually would pay for the car depends on who the person is. Obviously a person wanting plain transportation wouldn't care about a nice sports car.

Also, it said "typical mileage for this vehicle is 91,000" where the hell did they get that number lol...in this case, the words "typical" and "average" are VERY much different terms lol.
