    I am seriously considering the sale of my 456. After almost 6 years, I realize she is becoming a garage queen due to my travel schedule. Add with kids heading to college, it just seems time.

    Bought the car w/o a complete history. Was able to reconstruct some, and then did a full 30K service at Ron Tonkin, plus radiator, rear shocks. Have serviced the car (small services) each year before the driving season at RTGT, Gran Prix Imports (now defunct) and Jag Shop in Portland. Always fixed anything that seemed broke, and recently did AC work, and new tires. With some work, I could get my history and some of the previous history (if RTGT would give me my file).

    Paint is overall good, one bad scratch, which just happened (4 inches on front fender), and one thumb nail chip in front. Interior is good, some dash shrink, but not horrible. Seats good in front, great in back. Is a 6 speed. Green exterior, tan interior. Stock wheels. Radio doesn't work reliably. All other things work as they should. When I bought it, claim was the windows were done, I believe that is true. But, slight gap at window, very minor noise, I have driven and parked in the rain, never had water in car. Tubi's. Passed DEQ last month.

    Drives exceptionally well. No smoke, no leaks. Just got it back from Jag shop (oil change, fix the wipers - more than a fuse, the wipers needed tightened too), they believe it runs very well too. I don't abuse the car ever, can't speak to previous owners. First few years, I drove it 100 days a year, from puttering around to weekends on the coast. Lately it's been 30 days a year. She has never left me stranded, never needed towed into a shop.

    OK - so opinions on what it should sell for?

    Thanks
    John

    29.5K. Was ~24K when I bought and did the big service.
    Pics will come tomorrow, and yeah, that probably makes a difference!

    If it's a GT (non-M) car, $38k-$42k. If it's an M car, $43k-$48k.

    RTGT sold donv (member of fchat)'s 1995 TDF 456GT fairly recently. It was very well cared for but that should be a pretty good benchmark for the market in the pacific northwest.

    Wow, shame its not Malaysian registered - a 456GTA with 11,000 KM here is going for USD 137,000 equivalent. Just bought a 575 f1 2004 20,000km for USD 187,000 {price new USD 780,000} - viva countries with 300% import duty.....

    Thanks for reading or responding to the thread. I do have an idea in my mind, but I'm attached to the car, which may not be what I can sell it for. If this thread is boring, sorry, please ignore. I respect the folks that chat here, so any thoughts (like do I need to fix the scratch first) are appreciated.

    Next posts will be the carfax from when I bought it and then some photos. Thanks for the comments so far.

    I wouldn't fix it; let the next guy; for a cheaper 456 (which I think this would be), I don't think that scratch will make or break a sale.

    I just purchased a near perfect similar car, with no paint damage, perfect interior, and half the miles of yours. I think JetX estimates are close to slightly low of what you could sell it for. Many people ask 55K or more, but realistically they get in the 40s. You should be happy if you can sell it as it for 42K. Is it Verde Silverstone (607)?

    Good to hear from someone who just bought a car. The only data points that matter are actual sales.

    My estimate is what I sold my car for last month.

    Don't ask $55k and let someone negotiate you down - that $55k price (or any high price) will likely keep potential buyers away rather than give both parties negotiating power.

    Price it slightly higher than you'll settle for, and go from there.
