Default How much....

Well, I have tried to sell my car on here but I guess nobody is interested. I have found that everyone thinks auto trader is probably the best place to sell used vehicles. Before I put my car in auto trader, I wanted to know how much I could possibly get for it. My mom told me to put it up for sell for $12,500. I tried to tell her that was a little high but oh well. So back to the question, how much could i possibly get for it??

Put it up and see, you will be surprised at what you will get for it. If it doesn't get any bites after a week or so lower the price.

How is anyone suppose to give you an opinion with zero info on the car? Anyway, look up the "fair value" at www.kbb.com. Then subtract a little bit. In my experience you would then be in the ballpark.
