You can't get close to the amount owed by selling private party?

umm... that is not a "high-end" car. its at most a "high-end version of the mazda 3". not knocking the car, but cmon. be real foo. that aint no high-end car. even a fucking entry-level luxury cars, like 3-series/G35/etc, arent high-end.

High end car for me and my budget and needs. I know what you are saying...yeah it's not a BMW M or 7 series, Audi RS4, etc...

To me and my budget it is a high-end car.

There aren't even any listed on craigslist to get a bearing of prices. Should I just list it at Excellent Condition KBB, NADA?

If you still owe money on the car and more then car is selling for on the market, you will not get any buyers. On the other hand, if you owe less and don't mind just someone taking over your loan, it is a good possibility.

Ummm how would people know that I owe more than it is worth? I wouldn't allow someone to take over my loan unless I REALLY trusted them, or I could transfer the loan with ease.

Regardless if someone came to look at the car, why would I say...Yeah I owe more than it's worth so bleh.

I would make sure that I could pay off the rest of the loan (even if it means getting a Line of Credit) so they could get the Title.

how many miles?
for under 10k miles they go for 22-24k around here

not many around at all though, and they seem to sell very fast so you could demand premium price private party

plenty of people are looking to trade up to a ms3 as well, you might be able to find a decent trade with someone for a dd + cash
just a thought

My friend here on base has the same car (minus the PP). Except he got his wheels powdercoated black.

It's a great car, just too much for what I need. I have come to the realization that I don't need that much power.
