How much do you think this car is worth?

Question

I have a beige Mercedes Benz 200E from 1977. I have had it for 8 years. I am thinking of selling it. How shall I advertise? Here are the problems: (I am ＮＯＴ exaggerating)

1. Left front door has a big dent on it from previous owner (I got it cheap .)

2. Severe rust on most of the car, grill is missing, front fender is not there anymore...

3. Big spider-web like crack in the windscreen because of a huge rock in a freak thunderstorm

4. Only has one wiper (originally has two)

5. interior lights are almost gone, the markings for the radio have worn away, I had to install a small torch dangling above the speedometer to know how fast I was going.

6. Very torn leather, all chairs have very little leather left.

7. When I start the car, I have to try three or four times for it to start.

8. God knows what happens to the indicators but whenever I turn on the headlights and rearlights (which are about the only thing that work properly) they blink very randomly and very brightly, much brighter than when I use them.

9. It doesn't have a trunk cover anymore, It was torn away in some pile-up a year ago and I got this sheet of metal that matches the descriptions and got a couple hooks to hook it on.

10. Brake light is not working

11. Both side mirrors are horribly cracked

12. AC/Heater does not work, I have a small portable fan hung on a ledge

Answer 1

It's worth whatever scrap metal is bringing at the salvage yard. I'm guessing 200. to 300. dollars

Answer 2

Agree, but you try repair a little or hope "pimp my rides" come to you :)  

Answer 3

Scrap value - around $2-300.00 ( I am N O T exaggerating) ;o)

edit:  I just read the post above mine - I knew I was close! haha!

Answer 4

definetly not worth a lot

the most i say you would get for it is 200

nothing more.

Answer 5

Worth as much as a junk yard will give you for it.

Doesn't sound like it's in good exterior shape at all, and thats ALOT of miles.
