Interested in selling/trade my 83 Accord LX Hatchback

[zebstar1]

But I have absolutely no idea what it might be worth. I wanted to try my hand at restoring it but I just don't have the finances or the time at the moment. I have just put in a new radiator about 6 months ago, and now it seems like the water pump might be going out. It has a slow coolant leak but runs fine other than that. Only has about 87k miles on it. The guy who had this car before me was disabled and hardly ever drove it. All things considered, it's in pretty good shape. Inside could use some work on the upholstery and door panels. Pictures to follow.

Any idea what I should ask in sell/trade? Also where I should try to sell/trade it? I got it for free from a friend and I love this car but I just can't give it the attention it deserves.

Thanks for the linkage!

Looks to be in pretty decent shape overall. I'd say start it at $1500 and see if anybody bites. I would go to the wreckers and try to find a new bumper cover and those missing side moldings. That's all I really see wrong with it, and would help the value a bit for not much cost, IMO.

I might be worried about the dash, much less about the bumper. Like John said, get the missing side molding, as well as the a-pillar cover, and possible a door panel if you can find another red one from a hatch. Also, if you're going to post the car on a website or send pictures to someone, take the stuff out of the back first.

Oh, and use some OxyDeep to get the color back to the seats.

I love the look of your hatch. What part of Texas do you live in?
