What's the market like now for selling? I know the book value - I'm asking about the

ease of selling. Anyone know?

I'm in the DC region, and I'm just wondering if I should try to sell on my own or trade it in.

Thanks.

trade it in, my neighbor is a wholesaler and the market has never been worse. Last dealer I talked to said "we aren't taking SUV trades right now because we can't move them"

So if you have the option, trade it unless you can afford to sit and just wait it out.

The market is a buyers market. Just like the housing market here in DC. I would keep it.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Wonder if the prices of dealer CPO's will drop?

Check Galves for most current values

http://www.galves.com/

Friend of mine owns a dealership and all SUV's are getting hammered and especially the lower end of the SUV market - Ford explorers etc.
They are taking trade ins but not giving close to Kelly values.

Again it depends on what your location is in the market.

Friend just sent this to me...
These are for 3.0 X5 2005

Doesn't look that bad. All those KBB, NADA etc. to me it looks like they are trying to lower a value on purpose.

Keep in mind these prices don't include Auction Fee. Probably + another $500.
