you shouldn't have a problem selling it. just don't trade it in........unless you don't mind taking a HUGE loss.

use KBB and Edmund as a guide.
When I sell I'll ask a little more and try to sell close to the pvt party price when I buy I usually stay close to the trade in value. Depends on how much time you got and how persistent you are.
NADA consumer version is a joke
Black book consumer version is a little better but most people tend to go by KBB and Edmund

In consumer and banking NADA is THE BOOK... You might also just check with a local dealer to see what they will give you for the car as well..

I was wondering about this too. I'm pricing my car for sale a decent amount under kbb just to get calls. So far I've only had 2 calls

Check what the local and nationwide prices Evos are going for at the dealers and private party.My friend works at a honda dealer and they gave a guy about $24,500 for a EVO IX MR with about 15,000 miles and they made a nice profit on the turn around.

guys don't forget the rule of thumb when it comes to car values.... you lose between 15-25% of the vehicle value once you drive it off the lot... that is why gap coverage is important...
