Thinking about selling my old Stang

[LordBritish]

I have a 2005 Mustang GT premium that I'm thinking about selling.

It's an automatic transmission with some light mods: CAI, differential, and suspension mods. It has 85K miles on it.

It's in decent condition for a 17 year old car - typical wear and tear.

How much is it worth?

Which part of the country do you live in ?

Check ebay for completed auctions of similar cars.
3 years ago I couldn't get $10k for my similarly modded (but manual trans) '05 GT with 60k miles on it but car prices have done weird things since then.

Near D.C.

kbb and nada are good sources. i got 1500 more for my 17 than i paid for it 3.5 years prior from a dealer. their offer was in line with kbb for excellent condition. i may have gotten a bit more selling myself but why go through the hassle when a dealer offers me a once in a lifetime occurrence? i didnt like the car either so it was an easy decision.

We upgraded my wife’s car because the dealer offered us silly money on her old one, we basically got our what we paid for it within about $100 after like 4 years of ownership.

OP, I’d look at what’s sold locally and maybe even see if any local dealers are low on used stuff, you may get a great offer with this crazy car market right now.

I'll take it to Carmax to see what they'll offer. Worst case, I drive away

I think they will even give you a instant offer online now.

You could also try Carvana. A lot of people I know who are "cashing out" on their used cars are getting ridiculous offers there. You also don't have to leave the house. They'll give you an offer, then come to the house to verify it's what you said it was if you accept it.

It's worth whatever CarMax offers you plus 10 to 15%.

I entered my info into Carvana and got a quote of $8459.
Not too bad actually.

It's sold for $8470

Not too happy about that considering how many mods I put into it but I knew that mods do not increase the value, it's basically lost $$$.
