Debating if I want to try to sell my car or just trade it in.

Please read the details and tell me about how much you might pay for it. (I looked up kbb values already, but am curious to know from real people).

1997 Ford Taurus 4 door Sedan. (Black exterior, beige leather interior)

I purchased in 2005. I am the second owner of the car.

Car runs, but has some engine problems. (Occasionally stutters at red lights, occasionally idles high, stalls once in a while if too cold).

Power windows, but are stuck on "lock" so all windows can only be operated from driver seat (easy fix most likely).

Power controls on driver's seat.

Has moon roof–tilt function works, slide does not.

Some tears on bottom part of arm rest.

Missing the knob that switches between a/c, defrost, vents.

Has 6-CD player, but it doesn't work. (can be replaced)

Good body–no rust, a couple minor scratches.

Mileage is currently 145,052.

So, how much might you be willing to pay? Thanks in advance!!


Answer:
Your car is a $700 at the MOST to a private buyer. Think about it. It has all of those fancy-schmancy features…but none of them work. Besides that, the engine is rough. The real question is…how much would YOU pay for your car?? Not much I'm sure. Trade it in. Take what they give you and be happy. You're not driving around in a cream puff. I don't care how much emotional value it has to you.

Answer:
All you had to say is Taurus, I already know nothing works. No thanks!

Answer:
I have a 98 Taurus that sometimes does the same thing with the window. Anyway $2,500.

Answer:
You'll probably get $300 for it as a trade in, on the street you'll probably get $800.

A broken down 10 year old Taurus isn't worth much.


Answer:
Not much. You have a high mileage 11 year old vehicle, with some faults.

$1,500 to $1,800, assuming the tires are at 60% or better.
