QuestionI think my car might be considered to be in poor condition but it is still in good working condition so I'm not sure how much I can expect for a trade-in. Here's the run-down:
2005 BUICK LESABRE CUSTOM
Standard model:
*80000 Miles
*ABS, power steering, radio/cd player/cassette, ac, power windows, power driver seat, cruise
control, steel wheels, dual airbags
Here's what's wrong with it:
BODY:
*Minor scratches
* larger scratches on the length of one side- body is not damaged, but will need painting
MECHANICS:
*alignment is off & tired need replacing
*brakes & rotors need replacing
*Instrument cluster is defective (speedometer & tachometer not functioning)
*minor leaks
INTERIOR:
*carpet is stained
*upholstery needs shampooing (wear & tear staining but otherwise good condition)
*center console lid needs replacing (plastic broke off so no longer attached)
*overall interior is in very good condition, otherwise.
Would this car be considered poor or fair condition? How much could I expect to get?
A few records might be able to be obtained- how much does that help? How many records are considered helpful?
AnswerJess:Hi,the values of cars are determined on visual inspection.
Is this a trade in,or are you trying to sell?
The values of car are judged by what the demand of these cars are at car auctions.
Your description of this car and the year,it is safe bet to show it to a place that buys cars.
This way the value will be given to you
Good luck Don
