Thanks.

Wife's 100% stock 2009 Scion TC 5sp with only 10,600 miles. Located in Sarasota county, FL. Not sure what color is called but I say it is Black Cherry with black interior. Car is nice and still under factory warranty.
My wife had a little parking lot mishap so it needs a front bumper repair or new cover and she also manged to scratch the rear bumper too. (both shown in pics) Car has never had any paint/body work. What you see is what you get.
Only other thing is **** for radio broke, talked to Toyota and they will warranty it but I have not had time to go there. It still works fine, I just use steering wheel controls.
Pics taken today....

Try Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book for trying to get a value for the car and go from there.
When I traded my 07 tC almost 2 years after I bought it with 15K miles their offer had tacked on $1,000 to my '09. They didn't give an offer to where I'd break even, and wanting an RS tC didn't help as they were off the lot within the same week they arrived. Selling private party will get you more money in return, the dealership I find will not make a worthy offer for having a car for a year. After about two years of payments is when you'll break even if you were to sell or trade at a dealership.

 

fyi, the car's color is Sizzling Crimson Mica.

Black Cherry Pearl is a much lighter color and was only offered for the 2005-2007 model years.

i'd venture to guess the car is around the $12-14K range in that condition

 

KBB says
Excellent condition 15350
Good condition 15000
Fair condition 13250

yea i was gunna say 14/15k if your lucky but if you want it sold quickly 12/13k

 

sorry to be so negative but if you go to a dealer they will give you 13k the most for your car. believe me, i have tried that already. im guessing that as of right now you are probably up side down on your loan so dont even go that way. i know it sucks...

 

haha just buy her a geo metro if shes gonna trash cars that quick lol

 

I'd take $13k for it without a problem.

 

Are you trying to sell it on here or to a dealer as a trade?

 

I might trade it in but if someone had cash I'd probably sell it.

I can't post it here FS because I don't have 50 posts........

 

I know. But you are kinda advertising in a way by this post as well.

The other thing is. KBB and Edmunds are used to get an expert opinion on pricing. Yes it varies but its a ball park. Plus since we arent the dealer we dont know what they are gonna offer. I just think these threads are useless when thats what Edmunds, KBB, and NADA are for.

 

15k its really clean

 

minus the bumpers

 

N.A.D.A

 

Wow havent seen you post in awhile!

 

yeah, I'm trying to decide if it'd be worth it to fix them. It would cost about $600 total for a new oem front bumper cover, paint new bumper and repaint rear bumper.
