Depends on who you ask. When I sold mine, I took KBB value, added a thousand for negotiating ($3500 +/-) and put it in the paper. Noone wanted on the American side, so I converted the $3500 to Euro and put it on ebay with that amount as a minimum.
Got well over that price. Just a matter of how bad somebody wants something.

P.S. I'd take that spare tire rack off that's dangling under the back, or mount a spare on it.

Based on the pics and KBB, I got $1900 with my zip code for a location, but I can tell you right now you wouldn't get close to that around here. They're practically giving away new cars right now, which pushes the price of used way down. Not to mention, anyone that would buy a 19-year-old vehicle doesn't have $1900 in the current economy...

Sorry to give you the harsh reality, but I hope you can sell it for a decent price. You might try taking a toilet plunger to those dents...

i think $2500 is to high.

it is a buyers market right now.

i do not know the demand in aruba but $1000 is probably the most you would get around cleveland.

don't put me on your offers list.

I think around here you could get maybe $1000 - $1200. $2500 seems high especially with side dented like that.

I'm not making an offer. Look at my sig, I already have one POS gas guzzler that needs repair. I was just saying that I came up with $1900 on KBB.com. And, I'm with the others...I think you'd be doing well to get $1000 for it--you're probably thinking in terms of all the money you've got into upgrades and the like, but the reality is that it's badly dented and has 266,000 miles on it--that is what buyers are going to choose to see.

I agree on your assessment about the price but the quote above is a not quite accurate.

Okay, MOST people who would buy a 19-year-old vehicle don't have $1900. I think probably everybody I know who drives vehicles that old (myself included) does not have $1900 to spend on a truck that guzzles gas and has 266,000 miles on it and will potentially need much repair in the near future.

That better?

i just think no bank will loan money on a vehicle that old and in that shape.

it is not sold until you see it driving down the street without you in it.

sorry.
