A lot of different factors are to going to dictate what is a fair asking price for it. The biggest/crucial factor would be the title brand, is it clear or branded? The quarter panel from the pic seems that it took a good hit. It's going to need a paint job also based on the hood pic. Also, your radiator is about to give out on you...

The good, it's a rare color combo! Silver with black interior!
Interior looks relatively clean!
It's a 2000, latest model year of the SC!
Maintenance seems to be kept up, recent timing belt change!


It will be hard to give you an accurate number until you confirm the title brand...If the title is branded, then your best bet is to part it out. I call first dibs on the interior!

In my state MD KBB Private party listed at (fair condition) $5,490. Try getting anything (sum) under the listed price of KBB. Good Luck!

lol...book values dont mean much in these economic times. 4k obo makes sense, but remember its a 12 year old car in need of body work and a paint job. Your best bet if you think its worth book value is hold out for another sc enthusiast to pick it up

Make sure everything else checks-out/ is in working order, if not add that COST to your repair list including the dent/painting etc. and deduct that amount from the price the seller is offering. Yes $4,000 if not totaled would be a good start, but try and get it lower if you can.

i'll do 3,500, this should cut down on the bs / low-ballers.

thanks for the input, and i welcome anyone else's thoughts.

What a shame... I think you should at least do 4,000, a corner panel fix is gonna be expensive, but it's still a pretty good car too.

the interior is in real good shape.
mechanically, the car has been perfect.

my plan was to keep the for for 6~12 months, but it still makes me mad to see that dent!

probably list it on craigslist for 4k, and list it on here for 3,500.

you would make more money by parting it out, but for a quick sale $3500 is probably your best bet.

Paintless dent removal can get most of that out.
