2011 Kia Sorento SX

Owners selling privately get 21% to 27% 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.

A rough value. Few cars like it are for sale near 71k mi, so this is stretched from cars with about 143k mi. Compare the asking price with similar cars before reading much into it.
