I have a 2004 Sedan Mazda 3 with 25,000. There are only minor scraps except on front bumper, there is a hole about 2 inches around. The car was only used for to and from work for my husband 40 miles round trip. The engine still looks brand new, and it is mechanically sound.
The problem is that while at the car lot a tree fell on it, damaging the roof, hood, and front lights all where replaced and they sent the car to an auction for resale since car had to be rebuilt. So the title says hurricane damage but technically it was caused by wind... I bought from a friend whom I trust and looked into the records and inspected the vehicle, the "hurricane" was actually a tropical storm and there was no water damage or engine damage. He got it at the auction with 90 miles for 6,000 sticker price that was still on car was 16 something. At the time my husband and I were split and I was a single mother so they knew my situation and actuall only charged me 6,000 knowing they could have gotten double from an 04 with now 95 miles on it.
We have had it since 12-21-06 and it was only driven for 3 months and then became a work vehicle when we got back together going 40 miles a day round trip.
How do I approach selling it? Whst should I say to explain damage/title without scaring someone off? What is fair price?
Kbb suggests $10,330 in good condition.which it really is in great condition, i just don't know whatwould be fair considering history?
Sorry so long! Thanx for help!
oh yeah sorry. My husand is anal about his cars, he is emaculate with them if I miss oil change or tire rotation he gets mad like I am abusing it..It has a few stains in back from kids but noting I cant get out.
NO a/c or power locks and windows. Has CD player
Has Alloy Wheels
Has Power Steering
Dual Front Air Bags
Rear Spoiler
Also I considerd putting AC in however KBB suggest only adding 300 more if it had AC and it cost a lot more than that to put it in.
