What is a fair sale price for my beat up car in your opinion? Due to very, very tough times, I need to either sell my car (ex: posting it on craigslist) or sell it to a damage yard. If I sell it on craigslist, I have no idea what price would be fair / realistic.
Specs:
1999 Ford Mustang Coupe (35th Anniversary Edition)
V-6
120,597.30 miles
Car does run, is clean, and just passed emissions, and has an after market stereo (speakers are not new).
Has minor - moderate body damage
Per body shop, my car:
- Has worn out front brakes
- Has bald tires
- Has a cracked manifold
- Has a leaking transmission
- Has a leaking rear end
- Badly needs a tune up
- Needs an oil change
- Needs a brake flush
- Needs a power steering flush
- The drivers side window is off track and may need new motor
- Needs a license plate bulb
- Needs a turn signal bulb
I do not have the money to fix any of these things, and would like to sell the car as-is. Any opinions on what a fair sale price for my beat up car would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
Thanks guys!! Yeah, I was thinking of $2500 or best offer, but I didn't know if that was too much, given the problems with it.
Kelly Blue Book says that my car (in fair condition) is $3,265...it's obviously in less than fair condition, that's why I was thinking more in the $2,000-$2,500 range. I didn't get an estimate from the body shop on the problems with my car, those were just the notes they made, so I don't know how much it would cost someone to fix these things. I appreciate all of your inputs, thank you!!! |
