Default Cost of used 05 touring

Anyone have a good idea? I know they pretty much arent worth anything because of the discounts Chry is giving to new cars.
But I will eb needing to seel the PT soon & just wanted a general idea of what to expect..$11K, $12K?
I'm not goin gto bother shiiping it over there, as they haev no parts support for them & fo rthe cost of me spending on shippingtaxes, ect.. It is by no means worth it.
I have the 2005 touring 5300 miles, black, auto, lowing springs, oogah horn bass tube. How you see it in the pics is how it would be sold..minus the stroller.
I'll put it up for sale here, but also on the cars.com site.
Any recomendations on price?

Sorry, I havent been around much. But with all the goings on. I dont have much time for anything. getting the house ready, on the phone, emails, faxes, ect.. It's just WAY to tiring.

Did a quick kelly blue book and it looks as if the minimum would be $14.5K to a private buyer. That's the price without leather, moon roof and few other extra goodies which I don't know if you have or not. But as you mention about discounts and so on you just have to hope for the right person thing. Good luck selling the crusier and hope things turn around for the better.

I may let it go for $10K. I think it would sell then. With what i'm getting from the profit of the house( we got a market eval yesterday & boy am I happy ). I'm going to pay it completely off. Then sell free & clear, no leins, nothing. Much easier that way.

So would anyone buy a 2005 touring for $10K?

Wow that price sounds to low for a 05. Where are you going you said you sold the house and something about high cost of shipping. Inquiring minds like to know.[8D]

I'm going to Panama. I havent sold the house yet, but it is going on teh market RAEL soon. The only PT's there were shipped by the owners & they have no parts support for them there( unless they hav ethe 2.0L neon engine). It will cost abotu $2700 to ship it, BUT if I ever want to sell it I will have to pay a 15% tax on what the car was valued at when it came here...by no means worth it.

I know it is low for an 05. BUT, with chry giving all the discounts you can now pick up an 05 TE NEW for about $12K.
With this one it will be USED, so the intrest rate will be higher( it is actually HARDER to get qualified for a used car than a new one). So I have to make it enticing price wise, to sell it.

Here are 4 VERY possible replacement for the cruiser when I get there.

http://www.autorapido.com/product.ph...e_name=105.jpg

I'll be able to pay cash for the first 3 but the 4th i'll have to finance a bit. Which I REALLY do not want to do.
I'm also looking at a 2 story penthouse overlooking the city(on all sides) w/ pool 3 bed/3bath about 3200 sq ft for $175K.

I need to truely retire & have some fun. This will help a bit. I'm tired of working harder now than when I did when I was in the military. I will have alot more responsability when I get ther though, I dont mind that, but I gotta have a little fun.

Thanks, sounds interesting, I looked it up. Price of the house sure seems good. I like there hats. Looks like it has a lot of pluses going for it's close to Costa Rica, which I've heard is also beautiful. You would still be a US citizen, right, so would you need a Visa or passport to live their?

Personally, the first 3 are the best, however i do like the cyanne. Also, post the link to the house you are interrested in.

Well we made an offer & by the tiem all was said & done they had closed a deal with someone else. The house was only on the market for 2 days.

This one I havent seen before & I check this sitte almost everyday so it's VERY new to the market. I'm going to have her father get in contact with them & check it out. If it is good, i'm going to put in an offer for it.
3 bed, 4.5 bath, 3263 sq ft. It sits on roughtly a 1/2 lot( most lots are 10K sq ft, this is 4500), 6 AC units, & tax free for another 18 years.
