Hi I asked this in another catagory and didn't really get help...I really need to sell this car so I would appreciate any advice/tips.
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 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.
Facts:
NO a/c or power locks and windows. Has CD player
Has Alloy Wheels
Has Power Steering
Dual Front Air Bags
Rear Spoiler
Inside condition:: Great
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? my zip is 36619
I couldn't imagine selling it for that cheap. I realize I only paid 6,000 but I am only selling it to keep my family afloat we recently dicovered my baby has seziures and will my husband missing work for hospital and doctors we are behind.If I was not making a signifgant profit I wouldn't consider selling it. I was thinking about 8500-9500 given the suggested value..
