Sloan,
What shape is the body in ? (RUST ?)
With that mileage maybe a grand tops, having worked at a dealer before you wouldn't get more than $100 if that.

Where are you located?

I agree $1000 maybe as is. Anything that runs is worth $500 here in New England. You might get a little more if you fix the AMM and the leak. OTH - It might not be worthwhile. Do it only if you can get a return on your money.

If you're up for it, maybe a few DIY repairs make sense. Used AMM's can be had for as little as $50 and installed yourself. Where is the tranny leak? If it is leaking out of the pan, you might only need to tighten your tranny pan bolts, cost $0.

Don't even think about selling to a dealer; they'll rip you off for sure.

I'd try selling it on craigslist. I bought my car there, and the guy said he had lots of responses. Plus it's free. And of course, post your ad on here.

If that doesn't work after a few days near a weekend, try an ad in the paper.

Price depends a lot on where you live, but don't feel too down if you get less than $1000. I paid $1200 for my car, and it needed nothing and had 101K and a newish paint job (though I think I got a very good deal, and it would've gone for more out west).

Good luck!

My experience is that a car with more than 200k miles is hard to sell for more than around $1500. There are exceptions, but most people simply don't want a car with that many miles. This is especially true when it is leaking oil and the "check engine" light is on, as it would be if the AMM is broken. In that condition, I think you would be lucky to get $1000 - assuming there is no rust, the A/C works, and the interior isn't torn up.

just my $0.02
