Question

its a 95 caprice classic. A guy wants to buy it for 1400, but my parents say no, i cud get more for it even with those problems.

oh yea and not to mentions my car has 300,000 miles

Answer 1

only 13 years old and not really bad just almost bad steering and brakes. Would you give this car to your sister? If not donate it to "cars for kids" and take a tax break. Or tell that guy $2000 and "no warranty" & it is sold "as is condition" You will not repair anything that breaks after money changes hands. Every one wants the seller to rebuild the car with the money they got for selling it! Don't sell donate to a good cause.

Answer 2

In the Washington DC metro area, a 95 Caprice retails for $2500 to $3500. Take in consideration, Your mileage, the repairs needed and whether a state inspection is required can make a big difference on the selling price. Listen to Dad and Mom and ask for $2000 and to be sold as is. This gives you a price to start with and when sold, have the selling papers show the purchase date serial number, mileage, being sold as is, and with no state inspection. Make two copies of your transaction. You and the purchaser will sign both copies and keep one for your self. Do not let your license plates (tags) stay on the car when sold and when you turn your tags into DMV or are transferred to your new/used vehicle purchase, then call your insurance company to cancel or transfer the policy.

Answer 3

I'd let it go at that price; since it needs the repairs that you have listed, chances are it's going to need more! Take the money and run (make sure you tell the buyer that it needs work!). You MAY be able to get more, but you'll have nothing but problems with the buyer unless he/she knows the vehicle is in poor condition.

As a point of reference, there is a 1996 with an LT1 V-8, fully loaded, which has been restored for $ 6,500 in Hemmings Motor News this month. The operative word here is "restored" and "fully loaded"; it is also a year newer than the one you are trying to unload..

Answer 4

Dude-grab it. Your rents aren't being realistic. From what you described, the car needs at least another 1000 in work. Personally, I'd offer about 600, so grab the 1400 fast.

Answer 5

Check kelly blue book for poor condition to show the parents. Then take best offer and run.

Answer 6

id take the money on that one,kbb prices which aren't very accurate probably wont be much higher than this, on it,but they have offered you a pretty good deal on that car,you can buy another car with 1400 bucks that's smaller and will get a little better mileage also,but its a good deal ,they may not offer you that much for very long,good luck with selling it.

Answer 7

i would not give you 400 for that piece of crap, take the 1400 and run!

Answer 8

$1400 is too much for that clunker. Take it before he changes his mind.

Answer 9

dude.....take the MONEY!!! those problems mostly no 1 would want to buy the thing!! so grab the MONEY FAST!!

Answer 10

I think you should take the money and run.
