Default Need help pricing - want to sell.

As you may have seen in my previous posts, I was in an accident in May. I had just gotten my tC not even two months before, so I want to try to sell it and get a new one.

Carmax offered me $9500, but I think that's low, even with my accident. I don't have a salvaged title. It was repaired since repairs cost less than the value of my car. There was no engine damage, just body work and my frame was bent a little.

I have an automatic '05 with almost 25k miles and the only "option" I have is leather seats. There are two small dents not related to the accident, but they would be easy to pull back out b/c there's no paint damage. If this was your car, how much would you list it for?

Thanks!

Bent frame = lost resale value.

Even if it was repaired, an accident is an accident and hurts resale value. It degrades the structural integrity of the car.

Thanks. I was hoping for $13k, but wasn't sure if I'd get it. Someone has one for sale near me that does have a salvage title for $10,000 so I thought I should at least get more than that!

if it has a clean title u should have no problem selling it on ebay or autotrader. i have sold 8 cars already and i used autotrader. if u want to get a certain price for ur car tho, u might have to wait... but trust me there will always be someone who will buy ur car for the money ur asking. i sold a 98 integra with 140k miles on the clock for 5300 2 years ago when every person in town was not offering more than 4000, but i waited 7 months til a buyer came thru
