-Everything works as it should with no codes
-Average exterior and interior with any car of this mileage.
-Relatively recent replacement of your usual wear items like control arms, brakes, misc bushings, fluids, etc.
Basically it's your average bone stock regularly maintained car. Sure there are things like rips in the seats, past cig burns, cracked interior pieces, but everything works. I keep flipping back and forth on if I am going to sell or not and from what I have seen prices are kinda all over the board.
NADA= $1200 ave trade in
KBB Private Party= $2100
4 month ave at wholesale auctions= $1600
I traded another car for it but am on the fence on keeping it. If this were your car, taking sentimental attachment out of the equation, what would you ask for it?

Trade in is out of the question at that mileage. You'd be lucky to get the $2000 in Miami selling it yourself, not sure about other markets though. you could probably get more cash by parting it out but that can be a hassle. Just drive it till it dies and then uber home...who knows, it could be a while and you could save for something better. It's worth more to not have payments if you don't have to. You could also donate it to charity and claim it on your taxes, unless you need cash now. I'm driving mine till it the engine or tranny die. I still maintain it though, like any car.

It's not a cash "issue" but I wouldn't mind selling it to fund a turbo kit on my miata
. But if we're talking less than $1000 for the car, it's worth it to just keep and have as a back up, of a backup, of a backup right? :-P

word of advise on miata turbo build. If you spool up too fast, you will break the rear end and maybe the transmission. That's why I opted for the things I did.. I planned for inherent lag to prevent the power shock. Mine is 1.6 btw
