Ok..I have a car that I want to sell?

Question

I'm looking to get rid of a car but it has a lien on it and I don't have the title?I'm hoping to see it as a parts car.Its a 1991 Honda accord with 266,000 miles.Do You think that asking a $1000 is too much? Like to know a good price to see it for?Help me?I really want to get rid of it and don't want to send it to a junk yard.

Answer 1

I'm sorry, Caramel, but you have to have the title to sell it, even the junk yard can't buy it without the title!

So before you sell it to ANYBODY you have got to pay off the lein.
& get a free & clear title.

Answer 2

It depends.
Engine is just about worthless, unless you put a new one in at some point.
Transmission is probably nearing worthless, due to extremely high usage.
If you had the time, you could part the car out and probably make a decent amount of money, but if you don't know how to do that kind of stuff, you could probably sell it for about 500 dollars, I really don't know about that though, I know nothing about the car, other than the 266k miles on it.
Honestly the junkyard may not be a bad idea, they will probably only give like 200 or so for it, and turn around and sell the parts for a killer profit.
Look on Ebay for specific parts for the car, like side panels, fenders, exhaust, doors etc. Assuming there is no damage on the car, you could stand to make some money on it.

To krewmover:
Wrong.
I just went to the junkyard the other day to get a front bumper off from a 91 olds toro. Other people drive older cars, and therefore parts like that from old cars become more desirable and more rare with time as they do not make them anymore.
Besides, some parts from older cars can be interchangeable with newer cars.

Answer 3

First off, if you have a lien on it, you need to take care of that.
Secondly, parting it out isn't really an option because of the mileage and well, it is 15 years old and I doubt there is anything worth selling off it.
And yes, a $1000 is way too much to ask, even if it runs good and is on the road every day. It is just too old. Sorry.

Answer 4

$1,000 is way too high! There are working cars that cost $500 with under 200,000 miles from the same year, such as the Oldsmobile Cutlass. Now-a-days, one can get a fairly decent used car for under $3,000 because the value of cars decreases extremely quickly. I would say you could sell your car for $400, but even then it may not be so easy. Good luck.

Answer 5

The best thing is to pay it off and get rid of the lein. There is no reason to have a lein holder on a car of that value. Also, you would be able to keep the money.

Answer 6

If you had a good title the below link will tell you how much it's worth. You'll have to find someone very special to buy it without a title as they'll have to spend money to find out who legally owns it.

Answer 7

with that many miles!!??? damn why did you buy it in the first place? youll get more if you dissassemble the car and sell its parts on ebay!!! seriously my brother did that and made 2 thousand more than its worth!! but that was a ford....

Answer 8

since theres lein on it..you cannot sell it until its paid off or you have a title in hand.

you can sell it for the pay-off price though..becuase that would pay off the leinholder..

Answer 9

266k thats up there ..even for a honda.....i think a grand is a bit much, and wouldnt it be illegal to sell w/lein on it?

Answer 10

totally too much pay off the lein and then hunt down the jerk that sold it to you and bust his/her kneecaps.
