2024 Volkswagen Taos S 4Motion

Owners selling privately get 6% to 15% less than dealers ask for the same trim, year and mileage. The low end is how the big pricing guides value a private sale (what buyers pay dealers, less a private-party discount); the high end is what private sellers’ asking prices and private-party sales show. A trade-in usually fetches less still.

Median of 9 final asking prices of this trim & year (listings that ended), adjusted to this car’s mileage ($20,990 nationally), its history (1 accident −1.4%).
