What's this low mileage 2006 worth?

[atikovi]

75,000 mile V6 AWD in Chili Pepper Red. Car selling at auction and a trade in from a large Kia dealer. Saw it today and it looked very nice and the engine sounded and felt great. It does have both of the front subframe mounting points starting to rust out, but I can fix that. Would I be able to get $4-5,000 for it fully serviced and ready to go?

With the mileage I think you will do OK. In SC 06 with 125K=$4.2-4.7 . Please let us know how you make out.

Sold for $2700 or close $3000 with the fees. I passed.

You wanted to sell it for 4500 but 3000 is too much to pay? I see 1500 profit? 75k is low miles.

Any older car you buy at auction you can expect to put another thousand into just for parts. Timing belt and water pump, brake pads and shoes, rotors and drums, shocks and struts, wheels bearings, the subframe mounts repair, tires, etc. Not enough juice for the squeeze.
