Car value???

[dcreech0]

I just wanted to get some opinions from some fellow members on what my car may be worth at this point in time.
It is a black 2004 vert with 50k miles. Mostly stock other than invos, k&n kit, and the mopar 3 inch race exhaust.

Thanks for all the help!!!

I'm no expert but I would GUESS about mid 30s.

 

[slysnake]

Well, if it's in good shape I would say low 40's. if it's in great shape maybe mid 40's

 

[ACRucrazy]

You will never get 40 anything with 50k+ miles on it.

 

[wikkid]

Sold my 03 with 54k miles on it for 34k. I lost a ton of money on that car, you live and learn.
Car was cammed, plus a bunch of other things done to it. Sweet deal, but for the other guy not me. It was about a 8k dollar learning curve. But i enjoyed working on that car, thats for sure.....

I would probably say...somewhere around the upper 30's, but your best bet is to go to autotrader.com and cars.com and compare prices..Take a look at the other guys and see what they're asking for the same car with similar mileage.

I bought my 04 with 43k miles in the upper 30's earlier this year if that gives you a rough idea. Was in pretty good shape for the most part. Some interior wear, but that's to be expected. Outside was in good shape and car already had K&N, Borla exhaust, SCT tuner, and a stereo system upgrade along with a fresh set of tires.

My 03 with 30,000 miles is equipped the same: Mopar race exhaust and PCM, MGW shifter, K&N, Aldan-lowered. Mechanically sound, some minor curb rash on wheels, except for a bad gouge on my left rear, which I did last weekend. In fact, I have a reconditioned 5-spoke wheel on order from VPA, to replace it.

Biggest issue with my car is paint, it's black, and some scratches and rash, it is a 10 year old driven car. Realistically, if I were to offer it for sale, probably ask mid-30s, and hope I get it.

Bought an 06 with 13k miles this yr for 50. Really clean car inside and out. It's a vert. Minor rash on 2 wheels.

 

[1bad540]

30-35 50k miles will turn off 98% of buyers

 

[Mamba52]

Wow too many garage queens. You should list for $42k. Your car I just broken in!!!!!!

 

[ACRucrazy]

There is nothing wrong with having 50k miles. It's just $40k buys you a gen III with under 20 on the clock. It's about what you are competing against as a seller.

 

[swexlin]

Show me a Gen 4 for $40,000. Where is this car? Unless it's beat or a salvage car, I've never seen one.

 

[MoparMap]

I did find one 06 (not quite gen 4, but was a coupe) for 44 and the dealer said they'd take 40 for it. Just about bought a plane ticket, but didn't like the CarFax. Sure it had good service history according to the dealer, but when most of the clutch system was replaced (master, slave, flywheel, and I think maybe even the trans), I had a feeling it wasn't so much good history as someone beat the hell out of it or had no idea how to drive stick. Just made me wary, so I kept looking. Car was gorgeious though, blue with white stripes and 5 spokes.

 

[swexlin]

Still, ain't no (decent) Gen 4 for under 50, even now, and those are hard to find. If I could, I'd be seriously looking at it. There is a HUGE gap between pricing on Gen 3 and 4.

 

[hyph]

I've never seen a gen 4 for 40k. Maybe if it was a vert and salvage title....

 

[Raven2k8]

I don't think I would trust a gen4 for $40k...something would have to be wrong! That being said I would think mid to high 30's for your car.

Just replaced my (master, slave,flywheel) at 40 miles. Also don't forget oil cooler lines, normal things for a gen3.

 

[dester243]

I was going to say. Show me a gen 4 for 40. I will show you 40k quick.

He must be referring to the green one on ebay by x2 builders. Current bid about 40k but reserve not met on a salvage title.

 

[ACR steve]

he is asking for a price on an 04' not a Gen IV - two totally different prices

 

[swexlin]

We were referring to this response from above:

"There is nothing wrong with having 50k miles. It's just $40k buys you a gen IV with under 20 on the clock. It's about what you are competing against as a seller."

Ditto

$35k would be average if its in great condition.

Sometimes its best to trade in if you are upgrading.

 

[ACRucrazy]

I meant gen III, my mistake still half asleep when I replied. Was reading 04, thinking gen III typed gen IV (while looking at 04)

 

[slowhatch]

50k miles for an 04 gen 3 vert i would say 33-35k depending on condition and state of wear items (rotors, pads, tires, etc).

 

[ROYMAN]

I bought my white 2004 Mamba with 17k miles on the clock for 38k after additional fees and such in 2008... deals are always out there.

Yeah that was a deal back then. But then again, that was right about the time everything took a nose dive and people were hemorrhaging toys left and right.

 

[MoparMap]

It boils down to just how bad someone wants to get rid of theirs. If they have a financial crisis someone can get a steal, if it's just a toy and not costing them anything they can sit on it and wait till they find someone impatient or with an equal amount of money. Every once in a while I try to decide what my "ridiculous, I can't believe you would give me this much money" price would be to sell any of my cars. I get attached to my vehicles and don't really ever plan to sell them unless I absolutely have to. That said I'm still not sure what someone would have to offer me to sell mine, probably 40-45k and even then I'd be on the fence. I don't really think the car is worth that, I'd just want enough money to be able to buy something even better to replace it .

 

[ROYMAN]

I think it would still be a deal now. I feel like you could probably get a POS Gen III in the 30's, but not a white mamba with work done to it. I bet I could get more than I paid for it if I were to sell now.

 

[rut44]

Just picked up an '08 with 48k miles. One owner with 2 minor reports to carfax.

 

[dester243]

Royman you got a deal on a white mamba.....

But I think that about 35k seems to be a realistic # for a gen 3 with about 50k miles.

You can always list it up for more and let people try to talk you down. Better start high and work down than low and get no where.
