a lto of it depends on the engine mileage, the year, the condition of the car, also, check the vin. there are a lot of factors that determine the how much a car is worth.

umm.. i wouldnt know, it would have to depend on the condition of the car and how it was treated or used. check the vin number for additional information on how the car was treated too.

Murk, no matter what the mileage is on the engine get a compression test done on the car.

After that, take a look at the paint on the car. The engine and paint are two of the most expensive things to take care of....

Run a Carfax and don't put any money on any car until you drive it. Check for smoke, fluids leaking, etc.

After that, pick the best one. Don't worry about who paid what for their cars, get the best one you can find that you can afford.
