difficulty pricing my 97 Accord for sale
I have a 97 Accord EX 2-door. 2 years ago the automatic transmission
died and I wasn't ready to spend $1500-$2500 on a car that had 270,000 miles. The rest of the car is in good condition and I had an attachment to my Gen-5 Accord, so I decided to keep it in my driveway until I could make a final decision on what to do with it. I start it every month and keep is washed and occasionally wax it. I've decided to finally get rid of it but I don't know what price to ask for or what price to accept. I live in San Francisco bay area and Edmunds pegs the private party value of my as $1400, but that assumes that it has a working automatic transmission and can be driven away the new owner (it needs to be towed away) The rest of the car is in good shape and I have all my service records. Some minor dings, paint flaws, but the interior looks almost new and it has a nice aftermarket alarm and stereo system. I would think it would be a great car for parts or a mechanics special. Is my car worth anything or should I just donate it to a charity? Please help me determine what to price it for. |

Two choices. Put in a transmission from a junked Accord (like you said) or turn it into a junked Accord. Honestly, this is one of those "the parts are worth more than the sum total of the parts". Find the right people and you can probably part it out for $300. I sold a spare set of alloy Civic wheels with R1s (that were no longer legal so they had no value) for $60. I'll bet a scrap yard will pay you $200. -- - dillon I am not invalid "You idiots, it's rape, pillage,THEN BURN!!!" --- chief of the Aggie Vikings |
