I have no idea what my car is worth and I don't want to be greedy. I figure it will be worth what people want to pay for it. Maybe someone who doesn't hate listings with no asking price will bag a bargain.

I have never owned a car in Singapore before.. but I am guessing 1.5 years left out of 10... would be a ballpark price of 15% value a full COE. give or take.

Yah... but which year/month COE? March, 2010 COE about $20K. April, 2010 COE about $34K... many fewer COE's and apparently a limited thing. Or, should one use the COE value from 1992 or 2002, the date it was renewed?

As a buyer, I'd pick the cheapest COE.. as a seller... the dearest...

The price the seller gets will probably be somewhere in between.

Most up to date I would say as this should reflect the current market situation. The buying-selling is to be done NOW so it competes indirectly with the brand new cars. And I doubt it should be as much as 15%.

I was also wondering whats the best way to resell a car. I read from somewhere that trading it for a new one is not the best option?
