You won't find a good second hand one at the wreckers.

This. How much are you expecting to get for it? As above you won't get a good secondhand one, $249 for the new one sounds reasonable. Don't think you'll get that back when you sell it though. |

Redbook is still an excellent guide to realistic car prices: https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/resu...EB).)&offset=0 so $3,000 max. IMO you should have grabbed the money and ran. Remember, the prices on Car Sales and the like are what people are asking not what they are getting, and there are a lot of extremely unrealistic dreamers asking very unrealistic prices at the moment.
A sensible sales strategy is tp list it and your dreaming price on Gumtree and then cut the price by $200 (or $100 or $500 depending on how quickly you want it sold) each week until it is sold. Essentially a reverse auction that should get you the real market price. Remember, with a car this old, it loses value each week as the amount of paid up registration reduces, and also ultimately you have to pay the annual rego and insurance bill that might then exceed what you will get for it. You location may also have an impact on price in terms of closeness to major cities/markets etc.
