What would my car be worth?

[Kalgorn]

Just want a ball park... just in case I decide to get rid of it. I would attempt to sell it to someone on this board first though because I know someone here would take care of it. It needs some TLC just like you would expect from a car from '92. It has 90k miles on the car. The engine was pulled apart and quite a few parts were replaced (o-rings, gaskets, etc). Mechanically it runs very well. It has a Pioneer CD/MP3 player that is XM ready, seen in the pictures in the link below. The only real problems with the car is the paint. It has chips on the hood from stones on the highway and the front bumper is also a little beat up because of stones. Also, there's a patch of the paint on the front of the bumper that needs to be fixed. It can be seen in the pictures in the link below.

The main problem with the paint is the roof and part of the decklid. The primer has cracked underneath the paint and has created a sort of... mozaic design. It looks like it started on the roof and has started to creep onto the decklid. It looks like this:

I'm not expecting a lot of money. I paid $3000 for it because that's what it was worth in February.

Someone once said, "Any W-body, any condition, is worth $300".

 

Seriously, plug it into edmunds.com.

ain't that the truth...

$2200-$2800, maybe 3k if you can find the right buyer.

if you seriously want to get as much $ as possible out of it, do the prep work and get a cheapo Maaco paint job....people will be more likely to spend more a car if it more visually appealing....

[Kalgorn]

But how much would a Maaco paint job cost if it would need to sanded down all the way to metal? That's what worries me.

Whenever you get a car painted at Maaco (and you want it to last), do all prep work yourself.

$2,000 plus or minus I'd say...maybe more if you fix up the blemishes some

I could get 2 grand at least for my car here in Arizona. W-Bodys go for alot more money here. I see 96 Regals in mint condition in the papers for 4500 :shock:

3 grand on a good day....very good day.
