Question about selling car

Do you guys think i can get atleast $13,000 for my car? Its a 2001 Satin Silver Metallic Honda Civic DX Coupe. Paint is flawless, interior is flawless...still has new car smell. I only got 4800 miles on it. Completely stock except for a aftermarket CD player.

thanks in advance
Will

Nope. I have been trying to sell mine, Its an LX Coupe 2001 with 5500 miles on it. Dealers will give me about 11K for mine, private I have seen them going to about 13K but thats from dealerships.

You can find out about what they will give you from Kelly Blue Book dealships give you about $200-$500 less than trade-in value.

assuming 3 things:
1) it's an auto
2) it's in Houston
3) it's a private sell, NOT even a trade-in

$12,695

so, just like Travii said, you're not gonna get much

Oops i forgot some minor details. Its a Loaded DX!! (haha like it matters) It has A/C, automatic transmission, and once again a aftermarket CD player. The dealer where i bought the car from would give me $11,800 for it. But i rather sell it myself. I am looking at a 2k2 EX or a 6th gen hatch. (looking at 6th gen hatch because i am doing a B10C1 swap into a Integra LS for a friend and i have access to his B18b w/ 28k miles on it...so LS/VTEC project) News paper here got a 96 hatch w/ 82k freeway miles for $5000.

$11,800 is probably the best you will get from a dealship if you want to sell quick go for it.

Remember, cars lose a large sum of its value once the tires touch asphalt after being bought from dealership.
