how much is my used w/8,500 miles on it worth - mint condition, one owner retired female.

Try www.kbb.com for a widely-accepted estimate answer. You can fill in options, mileage, and area of the country and get a printed report for free. That said, with the depreciation of most new vehicles, you may not get within several thousand dollars of what you paid, so depending how much you put down, you may end up losing some $$$ on the sale.

Thanks. I did call 2 Ford dealers and they told me they thought it was worth quite a lot more now than what I paid for it simply because it was the Ironman and in demand. Agree?
