finally selling

[Matthew Goeke]

I agree with these guys. Do it right, or don't do it at all. By all means don't do a piddly *ss repair job when safety is at stake...yours or a buyer's.
You could sell it as is and disclose any issues, or repair it properly and get some use out of the car. I vote for the latter, but that's me.

Yea since the car isn't worth anything I am going to fix it, get my name on the title and probably just put it back in the garage for the next few years

I'm a little confused on the last 2 responses, seeing the one was made @ 1:00 in the morning might explain. Happened to be looking at NADA for car values and was a little taken back. They are usually overly generous on their values but I was surprised on the value of a 78 Regal only came up @ $3000.00 in excellent condition.

Average Retail Value
This vehicle would be in good condition overall. It could be an older restoration or a well-maintained original vehicle. Completely operable. The exterior paint, trim and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. A “20-footer”.

The exterior paint, trim and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The interior would be in excellent condition. Some vehicles may be considered “matching numbers” vehicles.

I ran the NADA price for zip code 63110 and came up the same BUT what doesn't make sense is a 1978 Monte is listed @ 7000.00
