Sell Value?

[animal66]

I know there is online blue books, but i am looking for a realistic price i COULD sell my car for. Just tell me how much u think its worth or what u would buy it for...

1988 Civic Hatch DX
Stock
200,000 + miles
Factory Red paint (slightly faded in a couple of spots)
Silver steelies
almost immaculate interior (slight tears on the top of the doors...where ur arm sits when the window is open)
Hot heat....cold air.
75% tread left


also this is a family owned car, my grandmother bought it knew, sold it to my step dad for $100 (because he wouldnt accept it for free) and it could be mine for free because my dad owes me money anyways... i havent driven it much... this car has probably never been over 4000rpm! keep in mind, this is NOT a classified, im just looking for a rough estimate on what i could get for it.

thankx

It depends on where you live, but out here iin washington you could probably get 1500-2000 if it runs good

yeah this one is going to fall upon location. some parts of the country I would say 1200 easly, other parts as low as $2-300

it all depends on where you live. i often drive to bigger cities to buy a car cheaper that i turn around and sell for more in the smaller city i live in.

if i ever have a car and i don't know what i want to ask for it i generally go to www.autotrader.com and see what the cars within 200mi of my zip code are going for and base it off of that

my old motor blew up with 200,000 miles,
but thats not to say that yours will,
my thoughts,
you could sell it to someone who needs it for a good 500-600,
maybe more,
but if someone knows a true 4th gen honda w/200,000
knows you could get it for around 300-400$

lol...like i said, i could say about 95%, that this car has NEVER met redline, with ALL maintenence every 3000 miles... It was my grandmothers car. it honestly doesnt look like it has over 75k on it; if that. the only real sign of age is knowing better( and a lil faded paint.)
where could i sell for more at, Houston Tx? (big City) or a small town? cus my dad lives in TX, i was just wondering if it would be worth taking there, if i was to decide i wanted to sell it.

you could search www.autotrader.com for what a civic is worth in houston verses where you live. who knows, it might be different in TX compared to OR. i would buy cars in portland, or (big city) and resell here in the small city for more
