What would you sell my car for?

It's a 93 sentra with 152,500 miles. It's got a new stereo system worth around $250. Everything works including cruise, AC, power mirrors. It's a 5 speed. White. No problems whatsoever in interior and the exterior is great except for a few small scuffs at the back where the paint is through (maybe 5 scuffs total of 1-2 inches in total area). No rust. The tires are sh*t. It's extremely reliable and drives really well.

Edmunds says around $1950-2000. Kelly says $2200.

Problem is it needs to go from being in paper tomorrow morning to sold by tuesday afternoon. I'm not willing to negotiate a price decrease of more than $100 with a person and if I try and score too much cash I'll end up screwed getting $1400 (?) from a dealer as I would have to sell it on wednesday since I'm possibly leaving the country and the car is no good to me then.

I paid $2400 for it last november with $142k by a guy who sells cars privately himself a lot so I was kind of estimating partly on his price taking into account 8 months and 10k miles, but then it didn't have a cd player then.

My guess was to put it in around $2100 or so...?
 
Honestly, with that many miles, I don't care what the sites say, you'd be lucky to get $1700 outta me.
 
Given the short time you've allowed yourself to sell, I wouldn't worry about only giving up $100 in negotations. As long as you stay over $1400 you're doing better than what you'd planned on getting in trade. If you do end up using it as a trade-in I'd suggest taking the stereo back out of it. It's not going to gain you anything on the trade, you could either reuse it or sell it separately. $2100 sounds like a good asking price, be happy if you get $1800-1900 for it.

 
I think you could get $2k for it, but I don't know about getting rid of it that quickly. Why do you have to get rid of it?
 
"What would you sell my car for?"

Because I needed the money? 😛 You're leaving the country? Going back to Canada-land?

I was thinking the same thing, KBB always overestimates the value of a car, Edmunds does better
