Selling used car, need advice and suggestions

[2angelsinheaven]

I'm selling a used 1984 Cheverolet Citation 2, but I am not sure what to start the selling price at. Here are the stats:

Chevy Citation 2
1984
No body damage (but needs paint job, it's faded)
Interior is PREFECT, looks showroom new, no tears, no wear, nothing....
New radio two years ago, cassette and AM/FM
Cruise Control
Tilt Wheel
New Tires (last month, haven't driven it since)
AC blow but needs recharge
Only 41,000 miles
And yes it runs...lol

It's sitting in my front yard, I need a car but we are not keeping it because DFiance works a far drive away and worried about repeated driving such a far distance on the interstate so we want to sell to help us raise money to fix our van. I've got to get atleast $350 for it which is what I owe my grandparents for it.

I just need a starting price, or should I put for Sale and says Best Offer gets it?

Thanks in advance.

I would go to www.kellybluebook.com You can put in all the pertinent information and it will give you a private sale price.

It comes up at $600.00 I think, I did it last week, would you start at $600 or OBO on the sign, I don't want to sell myself short or set it too high... urgh

I would start at $800 and negotiate from there. You should definitely get $350 for it. I really wouldn't sell for less than $500, it is old but there is always a market for cheap cars that run decent no matter how old they are.
