Answer 2

Most people don't buy broken toys...so they rarely buy broken cars. You need to find out how much it will cost to fix it...then take that away from the price of what the blue book value is. If you can make a profit....fix it. Now if you will be sending more than it's worth, then donate it to some charity.... at least you will get some kind of write off for it.

If you are needing a car to drive and looking for a new one...a lot of dealers offer " Push, Pull, or Drag " as a trade in. They will give you a minimum of $3000 it when you buy their new cars.

Answer 3

You have a 4-5 $thousand car that needs 2-3 $thousand in repair. Without fixing the problem I don't think you could get more than $800-$1000. Sometimes you can trade in a car like this, which will allow you to get into a new car and avoid the hassle of disposing of the junk car. Good luck.

Answer 4

A blown head gasket isn't anything minor. I would go to the Kelly Blue Book and see how much to ask for a car. Don't expect very many people to want a car with a blown engine. Maybe you can sell the car to some Amish People and they can pull it with their horses. Seriously If I were to sell the car I would warn the prospective buyer that the car is going to need repair. The cost can probably be more then the car is worth.  

Answer 5

Doesn't much matter how much you ask, it was worth nothing when you bought it

Answer 6

Fix it first then sell it for $700 plus NO less. Sel online using;
