selling a very old, non-running car

Mod paki lipat na lang is i'm posting in the wrong place. thanks

Am looking to possibly sell a circa-Tita Cory Corolla EE90, currently in non-running state.

Is it better to fix it up to a running state first, or sell it as is? Napapansin ko kasing umiiwas na mga mekaniko dito, even the ones who are supposed to be "experts" in old carbureted cars.

Consider:
1. what exactly is the problem of the car? engine only or there suspension and other major problems?
2. how is the body and interior condition?

namamatay matay po habang tumatakbo. suspected problems range from busted contact point/condenser to a busted carb.

Napaisip lang ako: even if i do spend to bring it up to running condition, it's still a 20+ yo(not well maintained) car. Kahit papano e hindi na rin ako kampanteng magmaneho ng malayo.

Part it out or sell as-is if that's the case. No point in reviving if you will not really be using it.

Refurbish na lang make it to some kind of bed or couch.

Depends on the reason and condition.

If it has a sentimental value to you and your family or you are into restoration, and the condition is not that bad (no rust, complete parts) then go ahead restore it. Remember it would be an investment in time and money to restore such car which you will probably never recoup.

If you are not willing to spend on it, part it out.

You have pics?

Kung carburetor lang problema, have it fixed before selling it. I heard Kamuning as the place to go for carb overhaul and repair.

Hirap magbenta ng non-running vehicle. Sobrang tatawaran ka na kulang na lang ibigay mo ng libre yung sasakyan.

Ewan ko lang dito sa metro ha pero sa south area ang bentahan ng non running car starts at 7,000 depends sa make, model, and year.

Kaya mo kaya bitawan yan pag binarat ka mg buyer?
