Here's a topic a lot of people have questional opinions about......How much is my car worth? Now there are some of you that will go "by the book" and I find that somewhat questionable,because prices fluctuate not only by condition and options,but by where your located.Different parts of the country dictate what a vehicle is worth too.Then there's also the question of whether I should sell it like it is or fix it up and will I get more money for it.I'd say that if your gonna fix it up and then try to sell it for a profit,this can be done,provided you invest your own time and labor into getting the car cleaned up,restored,repaired,or whatever condition that's needed for it to become presentable for sale.If your gonna bring your car down to the local mechanic to have simple little things such as change a spark plug or replace a trunk weatherseal,then your paying money for unnecessary labor,and that will bring down whatever profits your planning on making.Also,take into consideration that asking price and selling price don't always equal up. I've seen it so many times(especially at car shows),when you talk to the owner of a car and they are totally unaware of how to do anything on their car except put gas in the tank and wash it.The idea of getting into the "Old Car" hobby,is to learn about your vehicle and enjoy it too.So,what do you think some C-Bodies are actually worth?
