How to sell my car for the best price
Hey all , please be patient to my english abilitys .
I bought my second hand 2006 EDM before 15 months for 73,400$ , when its listed value was about 59,200$ (new car price tag over here is 100,800$) .
I paid about 14,200$ more then what its listed in our price list (like blue book) .
The car was worth it , as we have only about 30 S2K's here , and most of them are in bad condition (accident or neglect cars) .
My car was stored in close place (never previously to sun) , never driven hard , the previous owner was a pilot in the army all is life and knew how to take care for the car .
just for criterion , 3 years ago i had 2007 EDM and paid 10,000$ less then the valued price , so there is a good reason why i paid more for my current car .
I want to sell it now , time to move on..
It's 2nd hand , 13,000 mile , perfectly cared and maintained , stored during day light and driven only in nights .
I'm asking for 59,300$ , and the list price is 47,500$ (or 52,000$ when considered the mileage) , it's 25% more exactly as i paid for it .
The only thing is , i'm just not so sure how to speak with potential buyers and ask them more then the valued price .
I do believe my car worth it , and got great offers in the past , just not so good in negotiation (at least not as a seller) .
Thanks for your help .

As far as trying to sell your car. You have to be patient if you want to get more out of it. Don't expect a quick sale...and on the flip side, I wouldn't turn away a quick sale if they get close to your asking price. $2000-3000 might sound like a lot now, but it won't sound like a lot when you are still sitting on the car a year later and have reduced your price to that or more to encourage a buyer.
Have a figure in mind that will be your absolute bottom dollar and don't go lower. If you are in a negotiation situation, don't let the buyer control the conversation. Know that you will probably have to give up a little, but on the other end so will he if it is a proper negotiation.
Just be firm on your price. If you through out a number like "oh, I'm looking to get $45K-50K", take a guess as to where the price is going to START.
