[simmer]

2003 lincoln ls premium sport v8 83k

i always wanted an suv lincoln aviators ok?

 

[jmtiseo]

I just checked mine and it's just under what I paid for it over 2 years ago and nearly 50k miles ago.

Don't believe everything you see on the internet. Let me guess... They are rating it at $9000?
Won't get more than $6500 - if you lucky.


My words of wisdom for the night.....rozayyyy:dj:

 

[jmtiseo]

Mine, no. I paid $7800 for mine and they have it currently booked at $7200. Of course that's in excellent condition and we all know there's no LS out there that's excellent. Well maybe a few.

No, i was referring to the OP's post.
When i was trying to sell mine, the "book" said $6500 for trade in and somewhere around $8000-9000 private.

Went to the dealer....ready? They were giving me $3000. I lol'd.

No comment on the LS, but the trade in on my F350 is still $200 more that I paid for it!

I feel like that's a base number they have for some reason. We got a truck once and the trade in was $3000. Only difference that was combined with a '94 Bronco and '97 F150. It was 2004.

Last i checked was Summer 2010 when I was ready to sell her before i had done any modding/recognized her potential.

With all factory options KBB gave me $10k ish in excellent condition private party value with around 95k miles. I never expected to get anywhere near that but people from CL were offering me $4k lol GTFO.

A small dealership offered me $6.5k on a trade in for an 03 audi A4 tho.

Insurance companies and dealers dont go by bluebook. Apparently they go by the NADA guide.

 

[T-Money]

The nada on my car is more then the kbb.

And aviators are good and bad. Most seem to be problem free but I've talked to a lot of people who had to replace the engine or the tranny or both. They seem to lose compression in the 8th cyl once over 80-90k. From what I've herd

 

[Chubbs765]

Dj, you are 100% correct. When my other Ls got hit and ran (totalled) they gave me almost 11,000 dollars for a 2002 with 34,000 on it.

 

[dNyce LS]

3k trade in, 4500 private sale for mine...i wish it were.true

 

[hinzy]

Private Party:

Excellent = $11,845
Very Good = $11,470
Good = $11,245
Fair = $10,245

 

[pagluy]

Private party says that my '05 with 54k on it is worth a little over 10k private party. I paid 15k for it almost 4 years ago now.

 

[Commander Cody]

My 2000 V6, auto, 30K miles, sunroof and alpine/6 CD stereo, NADA has $3300 average trade in, a hair under $6100 clean retail.

KBB has, private party-
F - $5800, G - $6400, VG - $6500, E - $6800

trade in value is $4700, $5300, $5500 and $5600.

 

[Stopsign002]

Private party @ 109k all options but Nav 06

9700,9300,9000,8000

Bought for 10.5k at the dealer with a suggested of 11.9k so I think I'm doing ok

 

[pektel]

Haven't checked since I bought the car. I don't think I've ever sold a vehicle, so it's of no consequence to me.
