Default Re: 1997 Probe Only 68,000klm!! Whats it worth??

Carsales is a good indication of what people are trying to flog a car for, not what they are worth or what someone will pay. There's cars on there that you'd never pay the asking price (they've been there for eons) and there's cars on there that are a real bargain (they're usually sold when you ring about them).

It's worth as much as somebody is prepared to pay for it and as much as you want to hold onto it until you get the price you want.

The high end of the Redbook private scale is around right in my opinion (4100-4500). This is the amount (market value) most insurance agencies will insure it for unless you pay more for an agreed value.

If you live in a remote rural area you can add 1-2k to the price. People will still pay that much more than it's value for some reason . See it all the time here.
