Default What is she worth in October?

I have a 2015 IS 350 F-Sport and unfortunetly need to sell it next fall.

Here are the specs :

Mileage (projected)
April - 35,028
May - 36,370
June - 37,712
August - 40,396

I don't want to sell her before fall, but my dad (car salesman retired) says the best time to sell is spring.

I really want want to keep her through summer though.

What do do you guys think I can expect to get in August?

Specs:
black/black
illuminated entry steps
cargo net in trunk
Mark Levinson Sound system
Nav
sunroof
19" Niche wheels

3m on front, and rear
After market intake (and stock intake)

Black Pearl front and rear emblems
Deleted rear emblems, still have them

Two extra Front Tires

Paid wellover $50k all together.

Best time to sell is right now. Spring time and with the auto show around and people getting their tax return. Also people are looking for cars for the summer. In the fall unfortunately mods don't add much value to the car. You're probably looking at like 30k

From my experience through KBB, your vehicle value drops during the fall and rises back after the winter. Right now is the best time.

for a 3 yr old car, you will be lucky to get 27k. Also remember the market will be swamped from lease returns

You are better going back to stock and sell any mods you have to make some money back and sell the car close to stock as possibly to minimize loss

Pretty good advice. Few people care what you installed. Some, like myself, just see a lot of mods as rice anyways and may be turned away.
