Use ebay. If it is worth anything, the crazy buying public will jack up the price.

That is true its a great buy. Like a bought mine with 21,000 miles.......but it blew once I hit 32,000. Our cars dont last long when sitting.

Has it been started/taken care of while it sat, or just left alone?

As for suggestions on selling it. Wax it up reeeeal nice, cover up the nicks and bruises (if any). And don't post it to cheap, remember to a lot of people at a glance the price determines the quality.

Thanks for the feedback...The car was started up and driven around the block once a month and the battery has been replaced several times....No nicks, very sharp! Always serviced by the dealer...Only problem, no AC and no Power Steering...

I'm assuming it's probably a base model then, with no AC and PS.

If it's a stick, you're in good. If it's an auto, your value just went way down. Only an enthusiast will pay a premium for a 15 year old car with low mileage, and an enthusiast won't be buying an automatic.

If you could find the right buyer, I'd say you could get 6-8 grand for it. Of course, if you could find the right buyer, you could get sticker price for it, but that isn't a realistic expectation. If you want to get a really sweet amount of money for it, expect to do a lot of advertising and take quite some time to find the right buyer.

If you want to turn it around quick, 3-4000 and that sucker is out the door, even if it has an auto.

Good luck,
Dale

Thanks, it is a 5 speed stick...Do you have any suggestions, other than local newspaper, to advertise? I thought maybe there would be a club newsletter or something to place ads.

Detail it & get a good set of pictures. Set it up on ebay with low mileage in the headline.

Hmm i would get it man those are nice cars when they look new and people will defenitely blow up the price if you were to sell it to a nationwide audience like autotrader or ebay i would personally go with ebay...
