I saw a mint condition one sell for $2000 not too long ago. That would be well on the upper end though. Realistically $1000 if it's very tidy

This is mint the inside is just like new, the body is perfect.

You will have to keep it for another 20 years to get more than #3 is suggesting.

Yeah. but it's still a 1984 Honda City. Price doesn't skyrocket based on just the condition. Maybe talk to MOTAT

Okay I have looked at a few on here. and they are asking more than 1000.00 dollars.

Sounds like the sort of car a well-heeled but not particularly motor-savvy father would probably hand 4k over for tomorrow for his newly-licenced daughter.

27 years old less than 100k on the clock less than 4000ks a year not being rude or anything Since i mechanic it could be immaculate etc but i i would not buy it. It will have hardened oil seals etc. I would rather buy a car at that age with 300k on the clock. As for value i would say $1000 to $ 1200 Sorry if i seem harsh but its the truth.

I sold a 86 hondamatic city on here last year $1 reserve, was tidy but in no way mint, around 200kms and it sold for $1300, this has to be at least $2k

Each to their own, this car has been mechanically check and nothing is wrong with it. It has history. Not all cars suffer as you say, many people have older cars. The mechanic has said its fine, its never failed a wof.

There are a few on there, 1988 and 1986 i thought that would have linked the whole page. This is not my car, unfortunately i drive a thristy 3.8 commodore or a work van.lol

Want my commodore that handles like a bucket of.@@@@ worst car i have ever owned.Oh guess not as that has only done 150 thousand kms and is 1999.

Sell the commy and buy the Honda then. Cheap running and you can pay your Neighbour the high price you seem to think it is worth. P.s. I think it's worth around 2k

You come on here and ask a question, then you don't like the answers. You just started doing some research by looking at some other listings, May I suggest that you look at some expired listings also and then you may come to your own conclusion, without getting snotty at people that are answering your original question )o:

showing us how much things are listed for means nothing, look at expired listings to see how much they actually SELL for. Id say $1500 if its as tidy as you say.
The best way to find out is to list it at $1 reserve, the market will decide its value, but as someone said, its a 1984 Honda city. Its not particularly desirable, its certainly not special, and I get the feeling you were hoping it was worth 4k or so. It isnt.

Nobody can tell me a 27 year old car , even one that has only done 94000 km is "Mint inside and the body is perfect"It cant be if its that old.

Ok cool so your mechanic has removed the gearbox to check rear main seal is not hard then i doubt it.What about brake hoses or the condition of heater hoses under the dash all go hard with lack of use. Your mechanic is all shit and just telling you what you want to hear i feel. I bet the brake fluid has never been changed or the gearbox oil. Sure the car might look mint but trust me a car with that little use will have problems i been doing this since that car was sold new so i got experiance.

what about the heat from a well used vehicle, making all the hoses go hard as well!

$1500
At the end of the day, the old shape City unless it is turbo simply isn't a very highly sought after vehicle, so you don't have much of a market.
If you had an AE86 Corolla in the same condition, year, and km's there's a huge market for that, so you'd be getting more like $10k.But there really are few people who are collecting the first shape City.

I agree with $1500. Sell as an auction with $1500 start/reserve, $2000 buy now.

Advertise it on the nzhondas.com forum too - if it's as good as you've billed it, one or another of the fan-boys will fall in love with it and have to have it.
