I'm trying to sell my beloved Volvo 850.

Kbb.com says that it's work ~$3,800 in good condition, $4,100 for immaculate condition. However when I see the local craigslist/auto trader ads they price these puppies for less than 2k. What gives?

How much is a 96 855 GLT with 111,000 miles worth in good condition?

attached is my KBB report.

KBB is irrelevant, to be honest I have no idea why they still run a web page for used cars because the numbers they put up have nothing to do with actual market value.

Offhand: if everything is working well, interior and exterior in very good shape, that car should sell for about $2400. In good shape more like $2000.

Try pricing it at www.edmunds.com, see how it prices out for your area. Values there are usually much more realistic.
