Well, lets look at the negatives: It's a 4-door, it's brown, 250,000 miles, overheats when AC is on, has power steering problems.
Now, lets look at the positives: It has a V-8, Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Disc brakes, and for the most part, runs and drives.
In my opinion, without seeing the car and not being able to ascertain it's condtion as far as rust, paint, etc....I would say it MIGHT be worth $1000. If it has any rust at all, it would go down in price.
Hey, it's just my honest opinion.
=============================================
: i've decided to sell my mav this coming summer. i know, it's going to be a sad day when i hand over the keys of "the beast." but i'll be going off to college next year, and i know the beast won't make it to where i want to go. so i thought i'd tell ya'll a little bit about her and see if i could get a rough estimate for what i should ask. the beast is a 4 door, 1977 copper-penny brown maverick. she has a vinyl top and siding. she's an automatic v-8 302. roughly 250,000 miles (i know, she's been around!) interior is nearly perfect, paint looks great for the age, (when she wasn't in use, she was either in a garage, or covered up) almost everything is orginal. she runs alright, has a few problems, example: using a/c makes her overheat, and i'm always having power stearing problems. needs some tlc, i just don't have the funds. for the milage and the age, she really is a good car. my aunt was the orginal owner and she kept it maintained all the time, i just haven't had the money to do that. anyways, just wondering what i could get possibly. thanks!
