Default How much should I sell my car for?

Hi!
This is my first thread so go easy!
Im looking at selling my car privately cos the dealers are trying to rip me off!
Its a 2003 Ford Falcon BA XR8 11/03 Sedan. Auto with 18inch ROH Mantis Alloys, Sunroof, premium sound, BPT CAI & K&N Air filter, Difillipo cat back zorst, lowered with Kings springs, go fast stripes & bulge stickers and a few other extras. Done about 29K.
How much do you reckon I should be asking or will I get for it?
Its a shame to sell the car cos I love it, but its time to grow up and buy a house! lol
Look forward to your replies!

Thanks gtfpv. A dealer offered me $30K today to trade in on a brand new focus. That was "only if I did the deal today".
I said no cos I thought I can get more if I sold it privately.

I think you should sell it for $30,000, unless I buy it. I think it would be really cool and in my interests if you sell it to me for $15,000

Im not real sure on auto's but i've been looking at manuals with all the same options as yours and most are going for the 35-33k mark, i dont see much difference in the price between the auto's and manuals as most want auto's these days, however im in the market for a manual.
Good luck with the sale.

Trust me I would keep it & I am gonna be "lost" without it. But I also really want to buy a house. So its something that has to go, with lots of regret!
