Value check on a 09 Solara SE

[DriDed]

thats true
but at least he can get an idea of what to look at since he didn't have a clue

That is what I did with my old 1995 Honda Civic LX automatic with 160K odo, I looked up the KBB, and the value was way higher than what most people would pay for.

I think it all depends on who the OP is looking to sell it too--a private buyer or dealership. Private buyers are always looking for the car to be under KBB and not around KBB. The dealership ignores KBB suggested trade-in prices and deal with a book called the "black book" plus they heavily take into account their inventory and the present market. I would suggest researching how many other Gen 2.5 Solara are currently for sale within a 50 mile radius of yours to get a lock on the competition and an idea of price.

Mom did not want rid of it. Mom died.

I have since traded the car for a Volvo S60R..

Thank you all.

Thanks, it is much appreciated. She was a good woman, but she was so very sick, for 15 years. She is better off now. The rest of us.... Well we are just hanging on.

How did I miss this. I'm to sorry for the lost. Also, she was a Strong Woman for hanging on that long. My condolences also goes out to you and your family.

[ViriiGuy]

She was the strongest woman I ever knew. That was for sure. We all miss her, but we are also glad she is no longer sick. Cancer is a mean nasty thing to deal with.

It would seem the trade for the S60R has fallen thru, so I have the car listed on Ebay. If someone wants a good deal on a practically new Solara, my reserve is pretty low.

The car is just eating up space here. And I just need it gone.
