OT: selling my car

[MUTTS]

Looking for help/suggestions.

I have a 2001 Honda s2000 with only 8200 miles on it.

Id like to sell it. The car is in mint condition has never seen a winter mile. Only seen rain 2-3 times.

The question is what to ask for and where best to sell.

I figure some of you guys might have some ideas.

As always--thank in advance.

My suggestion is to check Ebay and see what the car is selling for in your area. Also checkout Kelly's Blue Book http://www.kbb.com and NADA.com

Autotrader.com is a good place to start too...at least to see what competing s2000s are selling for.

All decent tips, but the fact that it only has ~8000 miles on it will bump the price a bit.

What, you can't search for or see the milage on autotrader.com to gauge where you should price yours at? It's a valid tip...and a damn good one. Where's yours?

Kelly's says that car is basically worth $16K with a typical equipment installed. KBB tends to be a little on the high side but S2000 are pretty popular with the Tuner crowd. Not sure if MUTTS can get that in this economy but it's worth a try.

edit: I guess Kelly's Blue Book wasn't too far off. Here's what these cars are going for on Ebay.

It's a starting point, but the problem is what premium to add for the low mileage. S2000 had a relatively low production run, so a specimen with less than 1000 miles/year is going to be on the pointy end of remaining 2001 models. Now if this were a 2001 Mustang with 8000 miles, there may not be so much of a premium due to the production numbers.

I'd say best place for advice and potential buyers would be S2000 forums. When I was looking to potentially pick up a Viper, I made a beeline to the Viper forums.

I don't have any advice that has not already been given other than to say price it on the high end to start because you have a rare specimen of a car given the mileage and the condition. Sounds like an awesome ride.

I would make an offer if I live in suburb. S2000 is my lil'dream car.
