How to estimate car's resale cost?

I am planning to sell my car. But I have no idea how to calculate the current price, how much should I ask?
Is there any calculation method for such things? Or may be some web site, where I can see the prices level for the used cars?

Better search here in QL the same model of your car. You will come to an idea, how much the others are selling the same car. If you have any major accident, deduct some amount further. Thatsall.....Good luck

check some online car website for a car similiar to your car and some shops and later compare the price with your car .

Consider 10 years service life of a car and deduct some percentage yearly.

1st Year- 20% depreciation.

2nd year- 10% depreciation.

3rd Year- 10% depreciation.

4th Year- 5% depreciation.

5th Year- 5% depreciation.

subsequent years- 5% per anum.

Until the price becomes zero.

If there is major accident deduct 20% extra.

consider 30% for first yeat and then 5% every subsequent year. 15 years is ok for most of cars these days (atleast japaneese brands)

i am also confused about the 2 chairs?

do some data analysis...search for the posted classifieds for your cars model/year/milage and see how much are they asking...if you price too high from that average then you run the risk of pricing yourself out of the market...kelly's blue book value can be another guideline but not sure if its applicable in this region.

timebandit, it does get boring after certain point and after certain round. one has to chose either more rounds but shorter or less rounds but longer. you cannot sit at two chairs at the same time.

your website is "coming soon" forever.

as long as i remember your website, it keeps "coming".

If my husband needed so long to come every time we have sex, he would be out of my life by now.
