How Much Is It Worth?

I have a 1997 Chevy Cavlier Manual with 121k miles. I'm selling it because there is a problem with the transmission. I think its just leaking fluid but it may need a new transmission. It also slowly leaks clutch fluid, needs 2 front tires, and needs new front brakes. The interior and exterior paint are in good condition with some stains/scratchs but nothing to major. How much do you think I can get for it?

Thanks,
Jason

Re: How Much Is It Worth?

damn with that list of problems and the miles on it, i wouldnt value it over 800 bucks...especially because it might need a new tranny (if it dosnt need a new 1 it should soon)

Re: How Much Is It Worth?

Best advice, put the $50 and get new brakes and get some cheap tires. That will make the price go up a good bit. People freak out with brake problems even though they are an easy fix.

If it's not that easy to notice the transmission problems while driving it, then don't tell the potential buyers, obviously lol

Definatly noticeable. It won't shift into first. I'm trying to get a price because I don't want to deal with it and I'm selling it to a friend but don't know how much.

I'll repair it... but yeah, you can sell it for much more if you just spend the money on the brakes and tranny.
