For how much should we try to sell this car?

Hi, we live in SC and want to sell our 2007 Honda Odyssey. The question is how much we can ask for.

1. $13,500
2. check craigslist.com and see what it's going for in your area. They have private and dealer sales
3. I would set your asking price maybe $1-2k below what KBB lists for the private sale price in good condition, include "OBO" in price (or best offer) that usually sparks a little more interest and you can negotiate from there. I would also suggest getting a condition report done on the vehicle from a used car inspection company to justify the asking price, as well as help ensure potential buyers that you are not hiding anything from them since they can see everything right there in the report- thus no need for them to take it to a mechanic.
