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

Does it have, a/c? power windows, locks, etc.? moonroof? 2.2 or 2.4 engine? coupe? sedan?

Sorry It has A/C but its leaking freon(Goes hot in a week) No power windows/locks. No sunroof. 2.2L Coupe. Has the stock 15's and all 4 hub caps :D

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)

Yeah I know its not going to be much. Definatly under $800 but anyone have a more accurate estimate?

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

Lol remeber what goes around comes around.

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.

...wont shift into first? That's gotta suck, i'll give you $50 for it. =D

Shit if it's a good friend then sell it cheap and get under there and help him replace that tranny. at least thats what me and my friends do....

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

you could always get a rebuilt tranny from a junk yard...? thats an option
