Reasonable asking for a 99 SE V6 5MT
by hoob » Thu May 10, 2007 8:31 pm
My Solara has served me very well since I got it, but I have just signed the line for some new wheels (should be getting my loaded 07 Altima 3.5 SE M6 in a few weeks 
)
So I'll have my Canadian 1999 Solara SE V6 5MT to dispose of by the end of June. Includes leather, roof, 16" wheels, etc (the CDN Solaras were pretty well equiped.) Also includes winter rims, Panasonic head unit with XM and basic sub/amp. Mileage is at 110K miles and all mid-life service has been completed (battery, full brake work, timing belt, struts and mounts, recent tires.)
The car itself hasn't been mistreated but it's probably only "fair" (scuffed bumpers and wheels, a few door dings, the first few traces of rust are starting to appear in a few spots, etc.) But it has absolutely no problems mechanically.
Originally my dad was going to take it for US$5000 and import it to Kansas, but that might not be possible anymore. What does the forum think is a fair value for this car? (It's in-service date is Oct 98 so it's almost 9yo!!)
KBB/AutoTrader sampling shows US market values, which I think is a bit higher than Canadian market... KSS says around $5500 for "fair". There's no realiable source for this type of data in Canada either, that's why I'm asking (Canadian Black Book is a joke.)
