1999 2Dr. Honda Accord LX 130,000 Miles on the clock.
My parents have had this since new in 99’ and recently damaged the transmission. They are not sure what they are going to do with it at this point. I joined the forum on their behalf to see if there is any interest in this car from an enthusiast?
They are quite attached to the car but in there upper 60’s + age group they are considering a vehicle that is easier to get in and out of.
It is a NE Ohio car but well maintained. I put new rotors and pads on it for them this past summer and was surprised how easy the job was given the age. I expected more rust and frozen parts (kudos to Honda for their build quality in 99’).
Any tips or advice on selling? They have insurance money to repair the transmission so it will be back in running condition in the near future. Is a running 99’ worth selling or are they going to take such a loss on the car that it is their best interest to keep or trade to a dealer to get value. I know Blue Book lists it as $2K in very good condition but I doubt a trade would generate that amount.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
