Fred, Thanks for the info. No, I've never sold a car previously. Based on the low miles and the theft recovery system etc.. NADA says 17,200 - 19,850. Also I see cars advertised by private parties as certified, what does this mean and is it a good idea to get it certified? If so how does one do that?
