Default How much should I sell my car for?

I understand this will be more difficult because I have no pictures but please try your best to estimate. How much should I ask for??? How much should I take for it? Thanks in advance.

92 honda civic sedan dx. burgundy, gray interior.

THE BAD-
-Body is not clean. Had dings here and there, some chipping paint, and one of the fenders is one shade darker than the rest of the car. Its not horrible but its not good.
- LS Transmission grinds a little bit in 2nd gear and a little bit in 3rd gear if drive aggressively, bringing revs all they way to 8 grand and shifting fast.


THE GOOD-
-Ls/vtec (completely stock) legit w/papers. 78k at time when block was purchased.
-Type r flywheel
-hasport motor mounts
-Competition Clutch 6 puck sprung hub
-factory integra cd player with ipod integration.
-brand new carpet
-brand new oem floor mats
-overall great interior
-ex cluster w/tach
-brand new axles were used
-gsr twisties w/kumhos. (50 percent tread)

The car runs awesome. No check engine lights, no smoke no nothing.
Exhaust is completly stock. very quiet. car pulls good. its quick but not fast. a full exhaust would open it it quite well. Was planning on going turbo and have parts available for additional cost.


So what do you guys think???? How much should I ask for.

damn. I was afraid of that. I was hoping at least 3k because a legit swap is worth more than that alone. I should get pictures. I think I am making the body seem a lot worse than it is.

it still has a transmission grind, the interior sounds clean, and the body is in "ok" condition. $3000 is a long stretch for me, but im sure there will be somebody out there that will buy it for that price.

In Florida you could get 3500 for sure. cars prices are also based on location.

Actually you could get up to 4 in Florida. I think thats the highest it will go, but you may be able to get that where you live, someone who has the Honda Bug would pay 3 for sure. Good luck man, it sounds like a good car. The trany may need to be fixed, so that will bring the cars worth down. I would take that into concideration when selling it.
