I have a 1993 white toyota celica just sitting infront of my house and i want to get rid of it. It has 160k miles on it and the front bumper needs a little work and it needs a left blinker light so i cant really sell it. I don't want to just junk it i want to make something off of it. Does anyone have any ideas of a way to sell it? I was thinking to just fix the bumper and the light and then selling it to a teen who just needs a car but i also don't know how much that would cost. Any ideas on any of this?

the junk yard will give you $50 for it, thats prolly more than a Toyota is worth. I'd take it...

Any money spent on repairs will increase your sale potential. This is worthwhile provided you don't spend too much, and reduce your net profit. The turn signal problem may just be a bulb, which isn't much money. The bumper is probably best left as is. Advertise the car for sale in your local newspaper, and on area bulletin boards...use all the free advertising available. Wash and clean up the interior, and put a for sale sign in the window.

GO to Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds web site. They both have links for getting the value of the car. Answer the questions honestly, when you get to condition there will be another link that will explain whet each condition means. When done it will give you the value. Use that as your start point. Many people use these sites as tools to determine a cars value before buying or making a counter offer. Many people buy cars in your condition and worse.
E-bay, Craigs list, and cbtonline.net are all good to advertise.

Well, in my state, the buyer is responsible for being aware of defiencies and fixing them. I'm sure many a teen would love to have the car and 'fix' it up. Also, there are organizations that accept donated cars for the needy - this would be a tax write off for you.

First of all, you may be surprised how much someone would pay for it in the condition it is in. Just be perfectly honest with the potential buyer.
Second, you can donate your car to the Kidney Foundation and take a tax deduction for it's blue book value.

run you an add in your local auto trader and sell it ,there's lot of people that would buy it for parts or to repair,you,d be surprised at how much it would bring,id price it according to what was wrong with it,and someone will buy it,it should bring a few hundred bucks anyway you look at it,good luck on it.

Your local city college has classes that teach automotive repair. Donate it to the school. If it never sees the road again, it will still live on as a teaching aid for students learning their craft

You can go to www.autozone.com and see what the prices are for the parts. But I would recommend donating the car to Salvation Army . It's a tax deduction.

Just sell as is and let the buyer know what it needs. Let them make an offer. No reason for you to sink any more money into it.

Sell it as is. Someone may need it for parts.
