hi, i'm not trying to self-promote, but I have been asked to sell a car for a relative and an wondering what the consensus here would be regarding its value. It's a late '94 [sold new '95] NZ new civic sedan, auto, prob the highest NZ spec with leather etc. Interior and mechanicals are mint, exterior just has a few minor blemishes.the thing is - it's only done 69,000km, and has full service history [incl belts and coolant just done]. I'm wondering if 3k is about right - and yes I know I could just $1 reserve it.Thoughts!

oh, it's 1 old lady owner! and as far as she can recall, the back seats have never even been sat in!

It's not really a classic, nor a particularly sought-after model for the Honda fanboys.
I guess all you can do is imagine yourself in a buyer's shoes, and think of the maximum price at which you would buy that car rather than something newer.!

true - I see it more as a lightly-used car good for a small family, or newly licensed driver.

that's not that low, thought it was going to be a couple of thousand k's given the heading.
My Nana sold her Anglia with 17,000 mile on it, out of interest. She'd had it from new, and it was meticulously serviced. Wish I had bought it, but was a student at the time and had nowhere to keep it.
[edit] First gear was probably worn out - the original car owned by a little old lady only used to go to church on Sundays.

I'd pay $2500 for it if it looks and drives like its done 69000km.

Around the $3k mark should see it being sold quickly.

Two ways to find out, look at other similar cars here of equivalent and see what price it fetches or list it and see how it goes. put it as ONO and if she really wants to get rid of it, it's open for negotiation.

True, but compared with most mid-90s civics. with 50k wound off while on the boat from Japan.

low k's isnt always a selling point. my aunty had a honda prelude late 80's she owned from BRAND NEW, but sold it for fark all recently as even though it looked brand new and had about 80,000 genuine k's the engine was basically stuffed as it did all short trips and she nana drove it everywhere

I'd happily pay $3000 for that if I was after a car at the moment.Aim higher!

FR-- My opinion is you should ask 3.500 for it. You'll get a lot of tyre kickers butI bet youll get around 32-33 for it becuase of the history and milage
