So i have a 1989 CV LX and she runs great, with only 94k on her. The bad part is my fuel lines have just started leaking and the frame is rotted on the passenger side. I dont have the money to fix the car so im gonna have to sell it. my question is how should i go about selling it, should i sell it as a parts car or just slap a for sale sign on it.

Cut off the bad fuel line, patch it rubber fuel hose. And hope for the best with a sale.~David~

If i sell it for parts how much do you think i could get for itComment

What exactly to you mean by "selling it for parts"? Parting out or selling entire car? I have no idea to tell you the truth how much you can get.~David~

slap a for sale sign on it for whatever you think its worth.. you don't even have to specify for parts, just make sure you note the needed repairs.Originally posted by cool user name View PostGive a man a fish and he will be fed for a day.

Well, scrap value might be $300, so thats probably about all you could get for the car. Sorry to say, but these cars are not in high demand, especially one thats not able to be driven in its current condition. Dependiong how bad the frame is, I'd fix it and the fuel lines. Chances are, any other similar condition car you find will not be much better, unless it comes from somewhere further south.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
