OP, you should be researching how much your car is selling for in your area and price accordingly. I agree with everyone though, you'll have to lower the price if you aren't getting any hits.

Honestly, it is one of the lowest in my area for my miles. I haven't checked every car on Autotrader, but it is lower than most. I am finally starting to get some more calls and texts about the car with the same price from the OP.

Also, KBB is a terrible source for estimating the worth of your car. Edmunds is more realistic. You also have to take the market into consideration. Sports cars/V6+ are going for way below KBB and even Edmunds because of low demand due to gas prices and everyone is buying 3 or 4 bangers instead.

Edmonds is a joke, I find they are way low. If you take the average of kbb, nada, and edmonds, that should be more realistic

EDIT: Just did an Edmonds "True Market Value" estimate for my 03 Cobra with 20k miles and I got a private party sale price of $12,457 and a dealer retail of $13,938. I sold it last week for $21,500. Its a joke and Edmonds, Kbb, and NADA were all at least 2k low on the value. So you really have to gauge the market and see what similar cars a selling for.
