I didn't see one and I want to sell a 2001 Toyota Celica GT for parts. But I don't want to be on Craig's list or anything too public for all the reasons already mentioned in this post.
Here's a link to some photos.

Sold for $14K private party through Craigslist. $500 below TMV but $4,000 above Carmax offer. $10K + maintenance to drive the car for 4 years. Very happy. Gotta love that Honda resale value.

Hi, Michael.
 
No, we do not have classifieds here and we don't use our Forums for buying and selling. You may want to have a look at our How to sell your car. article.

1993 Civic EX sedan by uga91

Location: Atlanta
1993 Honda Civic EX sedan (4DR), FWD, automatic
Mileage: 44,225 (Yes, that is right, 44,225 miles)
White/beige
EX features: sunroof, air, bigger engine, 4 wheel anti-lock disc brakes
Exterior is really good for its age, a few "kisses"; interior is excellent, back seat hardly ever used.
Original brakes, no brake squeal or pedal vibration at all
Tires are 10 years old, have 22k mi on them
All maintenance performed at selling dealer--battery replaced 6 mos ago and thermostat replaced over the summer.
One minor accident resulting in new front bumper cover when car was new in 1993. Did not hit hard enough to cause air bad to deploy.
 
I get the feeling I could get about $2k for it--thoughts?

but if you put that car on craig'slist at 2K with a few nice pictures, your phone will ring off the hook.
 
If it were mine, I would start at more like 4K.
 
these days, you can get 2K for just about anything that runs and doesnt look too hideous.

heck, unless yer in a rush, I'd even go for $4995.
People are stupid, frankly, when it comes to used Hondas. You'll probably be surprised at what you'll get for it.

Even though low mileage, tires that are 10 years old could be dangerous and need to be replaced.

Thanks, gbrozen and stickguy, for the feedback. Not really looking to sell it now...just thought I'd get a feeling for the market.

Oh yeah, I know. I've started checking tire ads and such. They'll be replaced within the next year or so. They're Michelins and they don't leak air, so I firgure it's not something that needs to be done today...if they start losing air pressure, then I'll speed up the search!
