How to determine correct price when selling?

[ColinR]

I'm selling my 2012 Kia Rio 1.4ex Manual with ~33000km.

I've seen some ads to gauge pricing, but the prices seem very high. Most as high as the 2nd hand car dealerships.
I'd expect buyers wanting to pay less that the dealerships, as they then have a come back?

Call your insurer and find out what the retail and trade values are, and go off of that. I tend to list somewhere around 5-10% cheaper than the 2nd hand dealerships. But if the car is really popular, maybe you can go higher

Midway between trade and retail is fair for a private sale imo
