Thinking about maybe selling mine. What do you guys think?
Starfire Pearl (with Tints all around and grey interior)
10k miles
F Sport package
Factory remote start
Mint condition. Thoughts?

Are you trading in or selling private? Obviously you will get a better price trading in, a pretty loaded new model is about $57K so probably figure on low forties for a private sale.
Good luck.

Just a heads up prices aren't really great for the GS if your looking for a lot you will be getting low offers just a heads up. I was going to trade it in for a 15' and at the moment the price they offered me was 38K highest I've got about 25K on my car, with a little more options than what you have.

I considered buying from a private party but the guy thought his car was worth 46k which was the lowest advertised price. Sadly he wouldn't accept that advertised price is not final price and I bought my new car for the same price he wanted for his 25k used car with the same options.

I was just offered $40K in trade in a preowned Porsche. We had not even negotiated the purchase price on the Porsche. I decided to keep my GS.

The tax savings is something to consider if your state offers it, for those of us in CA we are screwed.

I got $40K for my 2011 3GS with <10K miles when I traded in for the 4GS in Feb 2012.
Now, I paid very close to sticker price since the car was 2 days post release. It's all the same. Either get them to give you more for your trade or take less for the car you want. Either way the dealership is going to make money.
Carmax could not beat the price my dealership had offered me.
You will definitely be able to get more going private sale.
$40k seems a bit low for a 2013 4GS F-Sport that stickers at close to $60K.

Like you said, one way or another they'll get their money somewhere.

38k doesn't sound so bad considering that I could buy a 2013 with 25k and certified for 42k. You're paying for selling it to a dealer. Plus that was 6 weeks ago and it's only going to keep going down. All of the after market stuff is worth maybe 15-20% of what you paid for it, so don't expect it to impact the value of the car much at all.

A better price for what? The best money maker is a private sell. That is if you have the time and effort it takes to sell the car yourself. Trade in does help with taxes in some states and is convenient. I like the appraisal approach (i.e. CarMax). Just to get a ball park figure. Then decide from there the best option that meets your needs. Good luck!

6 weeks ago I found 6 GS4 Fsport's for sale for 44k or less, two were at 41 (in southern CA). I don't think any dealer will give you that much, and I think it'll be hard to find a private seller who will pay that much unless they haven't done their research. Every dealer I talked to was willing to drop their price by at least 5% and some went as much as 10% off. So you're looking at selling prices of 42-45k, so there is no way you'll get that much on a trade-in unless you're willing to buy a car at MSRP or close to it. Like bigblack06 said, they are going to get their money one way or another.
There are of course ways to buy a car for a lot less, but trade-in $ should not be considered in tandem with the sales price of a car because a savvy dealer will just move money from one side of the equation to the other to make you think you're getting a good deal.
There is an exception to every rule, but odds are... you, me, him etc aren't that exception.

The OP was not talking about trade, he was asking price for selling to an individual. Unless i misread it.
Rule 1- never trade your car to CarMax
Rule 2- never trade you car, unless you can break even. Post it on CL and your time will come.
