Default Please help me! I'm selling my totalled '95 civic and I don't want to get ripped off.

Hellp All,

My baby got T-Boned and I have to sell her because I only had liabilty insurance and the accident may fall on my shoulders. I just bought an '86 CRX off a honda technician and he wants to buy my '95 civic coupe. The car's engine, transmission, radiator are all in great shape. Everything on the car is actually perfect except the driver side front door and just behind the right door. The car has 107,000 miles on it, I'm the original owner and it was in pristine shape prior to the accident. I can't think of any other info to include here but if there is more that would better help any of you give me an idea how much I should sell this car for, I would gladly provide the info. The honda tech said he wouldn't pay more than $500 but of course, that is biased because he wants the car.

I need to make a decision on this by tomorrow morning so if anyone can help out and give me an idea of what I should get for this car, I would greatly appreciate it. Just in case anyone suggests it, I have no means to part the car out so that is not an option.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Justin

Find out how much it would cost to repair the car, then figure out the value of the car and subtract the repair cost from the value.
Say the cars worth $4,000 and it's going to cost $1,500 to repair....sell the car for $2,000 (subtract some because it's currently wrecked)

If you're not going to part out the car, and willing to let it go for $500, it sounds as though you've already made up your mind. Sometimes it's good to let things go because the effort to deal with it is greater than any money you might get. If you just need money, do what you need to do. You have a buyer. If not, then do SOMETHING to get more than $500. If you're smart enough to be HERE, you're smart enough to catch more on your misfortune.
