Trying to sell my 2003 Denali, not easy.

[the blur]

I have 200,000 miles on my 03. Beautiful pictures on CL. Not one person is interested at $5000. It needs very minor work. Only the A/C and O2 sensor. Everything else works perfect. I though it would be an easy sell.

Next week, it's going to car cash for $2500.

Fix the issues and you'll do better. Selling a car with known issues is never easy. I flip a lot of cars and always do better spending the extra money fixing small things.

Ya fix the AC and 02 sensor... The way I think is if the owner won't fix the AC and 02 then what else hasn't he kept up to date on. Makes me not interested at all in the vehicle

I think the problem is the 200,000 miles. That's a number that scares off most people that don't know these can run for a lot longer. People look for lower mileage ones even though they're rarer.

I just sold my 06 Silverado crew cab with 204k miles and only issue it had was the windshield has a couple chips and a small crack on the lower drivers corner of windshield. Didn't get anywhere close to what it's worth almost half retail, barely got rough trade value. Ended up selling for $8k after 3 months of it being posted on Craigslist and on Facebook in the local and statewide groups. The economy is the problem right now. Everyone is scared to spend money right now.

Higher miles matter less on older cars for sale price. A newer car with higher miles is always harder to sell at retail than an older with higher miles.

The atrocious fuel milage is probably more at play for the tough sell. Fuel mileage is very importantto buyers now even though gas is still relatively inexpensive.

Everything must work with that mileage.....

In all honesty, the A/C needing work would turn me away. It could be a cheap/easy part, or could end up needing everything new.

Let's see the CL ad.

Who's gonna buy in the middle of summer when the AC doesn't work
