AMP Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 So i got my 98 lumina fix run really good and shifts smooth, anyway i was thinking of selling my 97 it has 238xxx miles and has a weird problem of dieing when driveing after a few trips, but other than that it runs and drives and got me to work and back.

88red4cyl Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 You might be able to get $1000 for it... Quote
white4d96 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 You might be able to get $1000 for it... Maybe if you fixed that front end damage. Quote
urbex Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 I would say around here something like that would be probably $800-900. If you were to fix the issue of it dying and fix the damage you could probably get a little more, but that's also kinda steep mileage. I'd say if it was all fixed up maybe $1500 but that's a guess really. Quote
AMP Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 well these all sound good to me, i was think about selling it around that price , and the 5 bags or pizza rolls is very tempting. Quote
AMP Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 i am going to try and fix the dieing problem but the front damage is a lost cause. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 $500 car Dirty, damaged, doesn't run right all the time and has miles out the wazoo. Quote
urbex Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 A lot of it really depends on your area. I know in Michigan if it runs/drives even temporarily anything tends to be at least $700 or more. The used car market has exploded recently..so sell now before it collapses like the housing bubble! Quote
chadz34 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 $500 car Dirty, damaged, doesn't run right all the time and has miles out the wazoo. Bought and sold enough to know Quote
slick Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I wouldn't pay more than $500, and that's if I was in a generous mood. Quote
AMP Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 well would the story of how it got damaged help , my dad owned it before me and the guy he had bought it off of said that it was his moms and she had it parked in the ally and there was a drug bust in the house next door and the swap truck hit the car and damaged it, and then refused to pay the for the damage and had said they did not do it. all in all it is a interesting and i dont know if i believe it or not.

slick Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 well would the story of how it got damaged help Doesn't help. Quote
AMP Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 so rather than starting a new trend what would you value my 98 Lumina at, it has 148,xxx miles and runs really good shifts smooth and of course this is after i clean the car up, going to do this this weekend. Quote
94 olds vert Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Slightly more than the other one. Quote
Oilpatch197 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I wouldn't pay more than $500, and that's if I was in a generous mood. Agreed, that car is "swap meet" quality. I would drive it till it breaks, then scrap. Quote
88red4cyl Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Honestly, gen 1.5 base model Luminas are worth very little... You may get 1500-1800 out of it if you find the right person... Edited October 13, 2011 by 88red4cyl Quote
