It's really an impossible proposition. The actual selling price is dependent
on too many factors: condition, location, the global economy, the local
economy, and then there is kind of a random factor: has a similar vehicle
just sold recently?
A good price guide would give several prices: auction estimate,
sale-by-owner estimate, dealer estimate, and give a range for each.
