What can I expect to get for my car; trade in, carmax, private sale

It's a white 2004 G35 sedan, RWD, bose audio, moonroof. It has 125k mi. The front suspension needs work with busted ball joints. I just replaced the radiator hoses and thermostat with a coolant flush.

The front bumper is separated from the car on the left, there a decent dent on the back right quarter panel. It's never been in a wreck. Tires are relatively new. The interior is in good condition. The brakes need replacing soon.

KBB is telling me $3000 or so. What price should I be comfortable letting go of the car at?

Thanks in advance!

I'm with KBB, don't expect much more than that for the condition the car's in and the mileage you've got on her.

Thanks, I'm OK with that. Is anything worth repairing that will be cheap and up the value of the car? Or just sell it as is?

Anything that they would notice you should repair, otherwise do not as you get $0 back. I would recommend throwing it up on Craigslist for a month before you decide to trade it in though for a little more .
