Apparently it is. I’m not sure why you thought there was a big market for 13 year old Honda minivans with over 215k on the clock that were willing to pay 3k. The only place you see these types of vehicles are on fly-by-night used car “buy here-pay here” lots where people can’t get credit. This thing has no value, despite what KBB says, unless this thing is in absolute pristine condition inside and out, and was babied and pampered its entire life. Nobody that has a minivan cleans them with a diaper like a 57 Chevy.
If this thing were priced right, you’d at least get some nibbles from some tire kickers. The fact you’re getting zero bites tells me this thing is priced way too high for someone to even bother. Keep knocking the price down until you get more and more nibbles, and resign yourself to the fact you’re not getting 3k for this unless you part it out yourself.
That is your problem. You are listing it too high where you are scaring off serious buyers. List for for maybe a few hundred more than what you want to sell it for.
KBB is irrelevant. How is it priced in relation to similar ones for sale?
Try taking it in somewhere and see what they will offer you for it. Vroom offered 750.00 for a 1993 500 E Class in excellent condition with 200k miles. Mechanic offered 12k. Sometimes algos don’t know how to price if they don’t have data.
I keep hearing the market is hot/crazy right now… but that does not mean you can list your car for crazy prices…
Just look at SAL, most go quickly, but many don’t, why?
They have monthly’s that were super bad for normal times of say $600 for a 4 series or even laughable an X1, and then they also ask for money down … Like lol.
As many have said, who wants over 200k miles? for $4k? from private ?
Adjust your expectations, as anything that is reasonably priced for these times, would go so quickly that you know your offer sucks with 0 interest.
Honda’s have a fairly consistent value or selling point for +200k mile cars. I would expect to get somewhere close to $2500. Bring the price down until you start getting offers, but don’t be surprised if you are not able to get over 2K. Loose money doesn’t necessarily help with cars like this. Most folks will step up a notch, and not bother with a +200K car.
The part where your mother is going to hate you after a while. There are two types of people (people who lease and people who hold on to cars), and never the twain shall meet.
She already does for other reasons, but putting that aside… she would’ve gotten a new car sooner or later and will probably buyout the lease
I mean I guess you’re right. I had a broker who was gonna sell it for her and claimed he would get around that amount, but didn’t work out since he doesn’t operate in this area. So I figured I’ll try myself
It is my friends car, but no he did not sell it. I know his mechanic has a standing offer of 12k for it for a few years now, so I wanted to see how much Vroom would give him in this hot market.
