I've finally decided I'll never have the means to fix my baby up the way I'd like to. I've never sold a car before and I have no idea how much to ask or where to post it for sale. I'm not interested in parting it out. I'd just like to sell it as is. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Is it just ready for a junk yard, or what should I do?

1992 SC400
Black/Gray interior
153,000 miles
Original engine; 20-30k miles on new transmission

Known issues:
Driver window is off its track and stuck down in the door
Body damage to passenger door/quarter panel
Frame damage in trunk from being rear-ended
Missing radio antenna assembly
Center caps on factory wheels discolored
Instrument panel needles stopped glowing
Interior door handles broken (I have a new one but not installed)
Leather on the driver's seat is very worn
Leather at the top of the back seat ripped
Headlights discolored

I started it this morning for the first time in probably close to a year. It took several tries to start it and then it died seconds later. I don't think there's any reason it wouldn't run with a little TLC.

I'd sell it for $500 to be honest.

The dying problem is probably the fuel pump ECU going out.

 

yea but before you sold it you could sell the front lip for quite a bit haha. Well if its in good condition that is.

 

That's very true! They go for some good money!

 

haha yup you could probably get a good 150$ for it. People love them and they are super hard to come by these days

 

i'm almost positive you'll get more parting out, then if you just sold it whole.. but if someone bought this for 500 they would be getting an extremely good deal..

Front lip is good
passenger seat looks good
door panels look good
Tail/head lights look good
climate control looks good
shifter looks good
whole dash around radio and climate control look good
center cup holder looks prestine ( i am interested )
Trunk Poiler looks good ( I have a buyer right now if good price )
anda 1uz-fe engine with only 152,000 miles is just getting broken into.. my 1uz-fe has over 300,000 miles..

If you add al these things up I'm positive you'll get more than you thought you would..

 

I forgot the brand new transmission! your sitting on a fairly valuable gold mine.. lol jk

 

funny how the car with engine and almost new transmission is worth 500 while the plastic front lip is worth 150$ at least lol.

This car is perfect candidate for fake Shine kit and poorly swapped 2jz with it's frame damage and all, I'm sure you can sell it to a drifter, seriously!

 

well if u dont have the money or time to fix it up than i would highyl suggest parting it out-----im quite sure u could get $200.00 alone for your front lip to the right buyer---your wheels maybe a hundred or so---???-------and move on from there-------the rear seats looked okay--and the passenger seat as well------parts from your engine or engine bay can be expensive as well--------if u have a parking spot u really have only one option----part it out.

 

Thanks for the input. I was under the impression that it would be quite valuable if parted out but I'll be moving in a couple of months and will no longer have a place to keep it. I guess my best option is to try to find someone that will buy it with the intention of parting it out and making a profit. Any ideas on where I should post it to find someone like that?

 

Where at in Texas are you located?

 

yea dude part it outtt!

 

Part it out. You can even sell a few things for really cheap and you'd make more than 500.

 

no more than 1000 bucks

 

I'm in Fort Worth
