Default Finding the value of my car

KBB doesn't all the options to be fair and autotrader, not one is available. And I put the radius anywhere.
I have 2017 Nightfall Mica GS350 Luxury package, HUD, TripleLED's, ML, upgraded 19"s, almost everything possible and it's L/certified.
13,300 miles.
Thanks for any help

Try Edmunds Car Valuation: https://www.edmunds.com/appraisal/

They generally list almost all available options.

Many options are considered to have no added value at trade-in or for resale.

Not true. It really depends on whether you are selling through a dealer or privately. For a dealer, it's primarily condition, mileage, and history. A private party on the other hand, if you can find someone that has been searching for the items you have, they will pay the premium. Might be the end of the rainbow but for a private party, that HUD, triple LED head lights, ML, etc., they will pay up for. No online tool is going to give you a rough estimate. If you have time, go out there and grind, you'll find someone who wants it and will pay up for it.

This is true. Many banks will lend up to the max NADA or KBB value, so you could potentially sell for that amount given the rarity of options. It’s at a minimum worth a try.

Dealer Trade in value: Manheim auction prices or see comps on autotrader-a rough profit margin for your reference. KBB, NADA are worthless to them. If you want something to use in proof, carmax quote printed out to you

Private Party: The sky is the limit depending on regions. Some states you can sell pile of rust for 10k while other states the same pile of rust is worth zilch. But thats why its private party. You set your own limits on how you wanna sell your ride. Triple beam LEDs vs normal LEDs are worth a premium while at a dealer its between working headlighs and cracked or not working

Good luck! I also have a '17 Lux (minus tri LED and HUD). When I bought it new, I knew it would quickly depreciate to the base level price. Sad thing is, it listed for $5K more than a less equipped F Sport, but in the used car market, the F Sport is probably already worth more

Take it to Carmax and see what they offer.

It may depend on the market. Around here, they are more than F Sport. We hardly get any of them. The mix is about 50% F Sport, 47% Premium Package 2% with no Premium Package and 1% Lux. Triple LED? HUD? Never seen one.

Agreed. I wanted HUD so bad that I am doing my own retrofit project to install the HUD. Haha. Hopefully can get around to installing it soon.

Dealers and Carmax are using Manheim. Find someone who has a login with them and search for similar specs to your car. That will give you the best bet. Anything else is worthless.
