Car Fanatics this is for you: How do I find the value of a car?

every one has an opinion, so i shall throw mine in as well.

first off im a used car manager at a new toyota dealership. i deal with all the vehicles that folks try to trade in. im going to tell you that in the mid west area that car is going to be worth about 2500 to 3500 actual cash money. you say it needs a bit of work on it, but not specifically what....hence the 2500 to 3500 range. keep in mind that alot of non dealership mechanics arent real interested in servicing hyundai's....so what repair work you need to do will most likely have to be done at a dealership.

good luck

Seeing as everyone gave you websites, but none of them took the 2 minutes to look up the value of the car, here you go:

A 2002 Hyundai Elantra Sedan with 96,000 miles, and needing a little work (which puts it in good or fair condition, depending on what the work is), is valued at between $3300 and $3800.

A reasonable offer, would be somewhere in the middle. Call it $3550.

There are three sites that you should visit.

The first is http://www.kbb.com/ which is Kelly Blue Book, which you may have heard of before, as this is or at least has been the standard in the past for car dealers as to how they determine the trade invalue and sale value of used vehicles. Here you will be able to put in all kinds of details for a more precise price of the car.

The second is http://www.edmunds.com/ which is similar to Kelly Blue Book, consider it a second opinion.

The third is http://www.ebaymotors.com/ where you can find out what other people are selling the same car for, and what people are actually buying it for. I would say that this is more of a real time source at this point in time, but you should find similar data at all three pages.

Have fun with your new car.

Kelley Blue Book

Hmm, i think of a Mazda 3 or Mazda 5 ought to artwork, I stay interior the U. S., so i don't be conscious of too lots approximately British and French vehicles, regularly eastern and German. bypass to vehicle producer's web content and then see if that vehicle is on the marketplace (an older variety). stay far flung from American vehicles, they suck.

all of the answers given are great. (Edmund's is best) also if you have a cell phone with Mobile internet or web Edmund's.com is great to use on your phone to get common information on a car when you are out and about looking around. and for review reasons I also recommend epinions.com GOOD LUCK!

Kelly Blue book, Edmunds, or NADA guide.

I use all three and average the price.
