Default TONS OF MILES - tC

To anyone who has some advice. Any ideas on where or how I can sell my tC? I've taken REALLY good care of it but it has ALOT of miles for its 'age' I purchased it in '04 when they first came out and have put nearly 30k miles / yearly on it. (89K). Does anyone have ANY suggestions on how I could prove I've taken great care of it. Unfortunately people base a car's overall condition sometimes on it's mileage. It's had synthetic oil, plus gas and all necessary scheduled maintenances.

Please help.. thanks

well plus or preminum gas wont really get you extra points for selling it. but you may be doing more damage then good. the motor is designed for just regular 87.

you can always put a for sale sign on it or find a buddy who can sell a car in a reasonable amount of time to help you out. or e bay or any other online site

07 bought in november 06' now with 18,000, im well on my way!!

I guess if the car is in great shape on the outside and on the inside, and runs great, there is no reason why mileage should prevent u from getting ur moneys worth! just sit tight and wait for the right buyer to come a long, good luck

My car is now 3 years and just cross over that 100K mile. According to kelly blue book, it's still worth about $11K in excellent condition. I'd use that as based to negotiation your selling price.

Where are you getting that information from? I only use 89 or 91 octane and highly doubt that it's hurting my engine.
