How to value a 1986 4kq? ( and a few extra parts)

[Doyt W. Echelberger]

You ask HOW to value the vehicle, and I can reply that people are only 
guessing until the market supply and demand gives a real answer. One thing 
we know for sure is that you want to sell. What is unknown and un-knowable 
right now is what a buyer will pay. Negotiating with buyers that risk real 
money will determine the value of the car.

Looking at the competition on Kijji right now, it appears you could start 
at $1,800 and compete against an '86 Coupe GT automatic in the "classic 
cars" category priced at $1,800. Maybe a buyer will value your car the 
highest because of  the manual transmission and the new windshield and all 
the recent work, plus extra parts.

If the car doesn't sell at your minimum price, you can do it over with a 
lower price, because the first auction will give you information about what 
a buyer will NOT pay.
