    http://www.kbb.com/ is a good place to start. Your car pulls up the following information:

    Condition Value

    Excellent $15,090

    Good $14,095

    Fair $12,720

    There is no way to predict the actual cash value of a vehicle that the insurance company will pay you. So many different factors go into their formulas such as how much are those vehicles selling for locally vs. nationally, private party sale vs. dealer price, etc. They also look at blue book. But really blue book is a close estimate.

    I'm not quite sure of your situation and why you're asking this questions so I'll just assume......

    If you don't like the amount of money the insurance company is offering you to replace your car ask to speak with their supervisor and have them recalculate the numbers stating why yours might be worthy of special consideration.

    hey I sale Mazda's! of course the trim package that you have on it is going to make a big difference in what the value is. things like a moonroof, leather, and six disc changer are going to increase the value a pretty good amount. Go to kelly blue book but remember the value they give you there is not the value that you will get in trade. trade is based on what they are selling for at auction!

    ACV is what the buying public will pay for something. You can count on at least a 20% drop in value from the original selling price.

    Whatever you can get someone to pay! However estimated cash value can be obtained at edmunds.com, nada.com and kelly blue book.com! Carmax will tell you what they will buy your vehicle for and then you don't have to sell it if you don't want to but the figure will be close to dealer wholesale because they will resell it if you sell it to them and they want to make a profit. Your profit if you can sell it to someone yourself!

    Source(s): Experience! I drive my vehicles to very high mileage and low value because I believe that is the only way to get your moneys worth. Sometimes they strand me because I choose to drive them until they quit running like my Chevrolet Venture van is threating to do right now. When that happens I call Goodwill and make a donation which I can deduct form my income tax but that is getting harder to do. Best is to sell a high mileage vehicle to an individual who knows exactly what they are getting, in other words don't be a cheater.

    check the Kelly Blue Book of Cars

  • Check the kkb.com or nada.com to find the correct answers - its based off of wear you live, the condition, extra features etc.

  • You should check Kelly's Blue Book...it is what the people go by, I mean you can use other books but it gives you the highest price for your car I think.
