Question re: 1991 Camry V-6 Selling Price

I figured I'd ask the pros on this question. What I want is a price that you guys think I could sell my 91 Camry for. Just let me know what price you think I could sell it for on eBay or something like that. I'm in Provo, Utah.

Here's some info on the car:

It's a 1991 Camry V-6 (3VZFE, I think) with about 110,000 miles. The car has at least 4 owners, 3 of which (including me) took really great care of it.

We inherited it from my wife's sister and she kinda did some damage to it. She got in one wreck that banged up the back pretty good. It's rusting a little on the corners by the trunk and the trunk still shuts and locks but it does leak when it rains and/or snows. It also has two good-size dents in front and behind the front, driver's side tire. Also, the silver trim on the bottom of the driver's side of the car has been ripped off. It also has a long crack on the windshield and 3 good-size rock chips. The tires are old studded snow tires that had the studs taken out (my sister-in-law was too cheap to get new tires when spring came along), so they probably need to be replaced pretty soon. The brake pads were replaced on all 4 tires, but the rotors and discs still need to be resurfaced so the steering wheel kinda rocks back and forth when you brake at high speeds, but the brakes do work great. They also squeal a bit. Also, the battery probably needs to be replaced soon as the lights dim as you decelerate and brighten as you accelerate. The alternator was tested and works great.

The interior is in great condition. There are no flaws in that category, except that the front seats are kinda fading on the bottom. There are no tears and no cracks or anything in the interior of the vehicle.

With regards to the engine, it leaks oil a little bit and it also burns oil. It makes this weird knocking noise that the mechanic could not figure out, even after replacing all the lifters and other things. It makes the noise when it's cold and when you rev in high rpms. It doesn't affect the car's performance at all, however. The MPG on this baby is okay, but not great. It gets around 18-22 in the city and upwards of around 28-30 on the highway. The power steering belt squeals a bit when the car is cold and you turn the steering wheel pretty quickly. It's fine after a few seconds. Everything else on the car works great. A/C works great, heater works great, everything else is perfect.

Honestly, I think this car will last a lot longer if it's taken care of. I've done my job after my sister-in-law had it and we are all impressed that it's gotten us this far. Sorry this is a long description, but just let me know how much you think I could expect to get from it. Thanks everyone!!

It should be a great winter car... I'd say start around $1500 or so and be willing to give up a few hundred in negotiations.

Mmm... A 15 year old car with an engine that knocks and burns oil, tire that are shot and dents and rusting. Plus it needs a windsheild! Take whatever you can get for it. I think you might be lucky to get 500.00. Sorry but there are to many cars out there. Just my opinion!
