Gonna sell my 1LE - how's the market for our cars?

JBones81 · 04-03-2019, 05:39 PM

I still love this car. I love looking at it in my garage. Unfortunately, that's about all I get to do with it. I daily the Audi RS3 (need easy backseat access for our 2 toddlers), and on weekends i'm usually still with the kids and we're going around to sporting events, birthday parties, etc - in the SQ5. I bought this car new in July of 2017 and it only has 2500 miles on it now.

Anyway, how is the market for this car? I've kept it so clean, thinking I would have it forever. I did the paint protection film and catch can right when I got the car. It only has light mods without tuning, etc - I still feel like the car is basically new. Also, the pricing websites like KBB don't seem to understand what a 1LE is - they are pricing like it's basically a 1SS. I know i'm gonna take a loss on it, but what should I be prepared to ask? I appreciate any advice from those who know

1SS? ~$33k, 2SS a few grand more.

Remaining '18s are 15% off which makes 1SS 1LE $38k brand new.

I would think with that mileage you should start at $36k

Smashn808 · 04-03-2019, 06:03 PM

Yep I would say about $35k

JBones81 · 04-03-2019, 06:33 PM

Thanks guys - $36k is what I'm thinking. I know that you don't get value for mods, but I have put about 4-5k into this car in things I would imagine the next owner would appreciate, like the clear bra (1200), taillights (600), and dual mode exhaust (1200)...I'm willing to wait for the right owner.

Kbb doesn’t have a 1le selection for 2017, but it does for 2018. You can use that as a gauge for your 2017.

Cool, thanks.

I wonder if it's skewed tho - since you couldn't get a 2ss 1le at all in 2017, so ours were the only options.

I just bought a new 2018 1SS 1LE for $36500 and the dealer had two at that price...

No, still had tax but it was a good starting point...

I know two people who got 2018s for about 33k. Yours probably isn't worth much more than 30k but I would definitely list it for a bit more and maybe you'll get a good offer.

Cldgin2 · 04-03-2019, 11:37 PM

My ‘17 1SS 1LE is clean with 14k, I was shopping vettes recently dealer offered me 26k. I laughed and then cried and went home. Figure I’d be lucky to get 30k private, so for now she’s staying

JBones81 · 04-03-2019, 11:40 PM

Yea, if I can't get around 36k for it, I won't sell it. I paid $44xxx back in 2017 (dealer wouldnt budge much down from 45,900 sticker because I was getting 0% for 72 on it). I don't have to sell, but it doesnt make sense to keep it as a garage queen and make the wife keep her sq5 outside LOL

Cldgin2 · 04-03-2019, 11:57 PM

Haha, I’m lucky my wife drives a ZR2. Her truck can get rained on, no one cares
