Default Trade in Value

Does anyone know what an average trade in value would be for my 1994 Civic DX Hatch?

Inside everything is stock except for a new alternator
---
I dont know if it will matter, but on the outside i just have a biiger muffler then stock/clear headlights/and some gay ass alteezas in the back. No body work or damage. It is lowered though. (check sig, lemme know if u need bigger pics of interior/exterior)
----->

Main reason i baught this car was just to use it as a ride, never planned on working on it. So i never got rid of the tailights and i never did anything to the engine.

btw trade in value came out to $1,990 after all the specifications. I got it for 1200, but thats cause it was through a friend.

Last Question:
Would i get about the same price if i traded it to lets say a "Toyota" dealership? Im guessing most of you are gonna hate me for this, but i intend on trading it in for the downpayment on a 2004 celica.

trade in value will not equal what a dealer will give you... your car is not in perfect condition.. take 1990 and subtract everything that would need to be repaired, replaced, repainted, and that number is the reality of what your car is worth.. like i said before, 1000-1500... 1500 if your lucky

Yeah no matter what dealership you trade it into they should give you the trade in value.

yea on that web site it gave me the option to select what condition my car was in. Poor Fair Good or Excellent. Exterior everything is perfect..no dents/new pain. I will however repaint a little scratch near the door before i sell, and attach a new stock emblem. Interior it needs a bit of work...basically just floor mats/seat is torn(will repair myself), its missing the recline handle on the passenger seat, also missing the handle from the lil storage think in front of the passenger and the thing the shft knob sits on is torn (right side/barely visible). Majority of these things i can get from the junkyard. And its an automatic, i checked and they give me 350 more for it simple being automatic.

So with all this into consideration i selected "Good"..this is what good was described as: "Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. The paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems..

P.S- Hybrid ur sig leads to a FORBIDDEN page

how are the tires? any stars in the windshield? hows the shocks feel? how's the oil in the tranny, hows the exhaust system? try to be subjective on these types of questions... i sold cars bro, and i evaluated trade-ins... pls dont go to any dealership expecting 2k.. it wont happen, if it does, then the price on the car they're sellnig you will reflect the difference and go up according, keep 1k or less on your mind and plan with that...

which brings up my next rule, NEVER trade your car in.. ALWAYS take the proper time to sell it private party..
