Selling CRX

Hey im thinking of getting rid of my 1987 CRX that was given to me as a
birthday present to use the money to get a newer car. I have no idea
what the cars are worth, and was hopeing i could get some suggestions
on what to ask for it if i sell it as is. (im 16 and have no experiance
selling cars) The car starts and runs very well, and it is in pretty
good shape for a 17 year old car. The body is not in perfect shape, but
i plan on patching it up before i sell it. Other than that everything
is in working condition, and it did pass its last E-Test. If anyone
would be willing to throw up some ball park numbers, i would appreciate
it as a starting point for me to work from. Any other information or
opinions are welcome.

Brad, www.edmunds.com will give a retail, private owner, etc. estimate of
the worth of most cars, based on make, model, year, accessories, condition,
location, etc. Look under the "used car" links.

 

Depending on your location, its real body condition and whether or not it
has air conditioning, it would be worth about $700 trade in, would sell to a
private buyer for about $1,000, but a dealer would want about $1,700.

If the body work and mechanical preventive maintenance aren't beyond your
(or parents') pocket book, keep it. It's a minor classic waiting to happen.
