I'm not sure what the market is like in Kentucky and if you've added anything to the car, but $37K is way too optimistic. $38K and under is what people were paying for brand new 07 350's basically loaded (includes NAV and HID) at the end of the year... Even now, I can't imagine one going for over $40K if you settle for what's on the lot. Good luck regardless.

I agree, a used 06 for nearly the price of a new 07 is pretty optimistic.

depending on mileage and options it could be worth between 30-35k.

Those options are all hard to come by unless you special order. You will not find a 350 on any dealer lot with those specs, come on guys do your homework.

Of course there are loads of vehicles on dealers lots without the pluses and yes you will get a good deal for those, most of the public want stripped vehicles not loaded up ones like Lux package +NAV+ML +Park assist. I've noticed that dealers will have Prem Pkgs but seldom ever any Lux pkgs at least in FL.

when you resale a car.. the extra you paid for extra option depreciates pretty fast...

34 is optomistic... the person need to also understand that there's tax for the buyer..

but good luck either way...

You should be able to get $30-35k. I don't know what the other people are talking about. MSRP for NAV ML, Park is around $45k. Assuming 15k miles. KBB agrees with those numbers as well for private party sale.

It is basically two years old now. 07's came out in 06. So I would agree. Maybe $30k.

The problem is I was just quoted $38k for a loaded 07 IS350 that had an MSRP of $44k.

The dealer told me the IS's are being dumped because people need a larger car and he said mainly young kids and single folks are buying them.

Let me give you a comparison. My 06 IS350 had 10k miles on it, was in immaculate shape, and had a clear bra put on. I had the sport package, HID, and Nav (no ML). I sold my car for $33k three months ago.
