Price For 1998 Legacy Outback Wagon?

[Dwight]

We would like to sell my wife's car to our son and his wife.

It has only 30,000 miles and is in in superb condition, - so a
steal-deal for them.

Any advice on the want-ads value for this model in the Seattle area?

Many thanks in advance.

Dealer trade-in value is probably the best for a family sale.

As an alternate suggestion that worked REALLY well for me,

If you (or a friend) is a member of AAA, get onto their website, look at
used car prices, and they will give you (I believe) three. One is the
trade-in
price, one is the outright sale price, and the third would be some sort of
average. They will ask you questions about condition, mileage, tire
condition, equipment, etc., before they compute a price.

I tried this with the two used cars i recently sold to buy my Subie and I
asked
and got exactly the correct price each time. (yeah, I had folks who tried
hard
to bargain me down, but the prices were good ones, and I felt like I'd
gotten
a fair price for both.) So get the prices and if it is a favored son, I'd
give him
the trade-in price. That seems to be about $1,000 below the retail price.
I
believe they stated the difference was for make-ready and sales expense,
plus
a little profit on the deal for the dealer.

Without considering that you're selling to a family member, I'd say
$8,000 is a fair price, give or take $500 or so. If you sell it to a
family member, I'd say even less, but that's a touchy one.
