michael knight Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The best way for you to find an answer is to look at what other comparable new yorkers are selling for. Then base your price accordingly and in relation to how quickly you'd like to sell it. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turborusty Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 This one's loaded with TONS of options....and it stickers for about $11,500. Has A/C, 440, "tufted" leather...pretty much all of it. http://public.fotki.com/vintageozarks/1978-chrysler-new-y/ Perhaps gramps was upside down on his trade and his total loan came out closer to $16k. Or his total of payments after paying interest and all, could have come out to $16k. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turborusty Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Maybe he paid outrageous dealer markup. But none of this has any relevance to the value of the car, then or now. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed racer Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I was thinkin "The A team" with that wan.can hear the theme song in my head now.Where's B.A. Baracus and the other guys? I wish my 88 starion was still worth what it was new.I would sell it in a second and have some fun money.Take a vacation. Since it's in good shape and low miles you mite get $1000 for it. Wish I could get new price for my 325.IDK what it was in 1986 but sure could finish my starion.unfortunately is listed for $500 in value.Worth far more to me though.

strang3majik Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 While a very nice car Im sure, especially with 21k miles, right now, there isn't really a market for that car. The big boom right now is early 70s cars, and, even so, the big Chryslers are still going for cheap. I know a guy that just got a 1968 Chrysler 300 Convertible, 440, 727, 40k original miles, no rust to speak of, only needed paint, and it went for 12k...which was a little high. And, a 68 is much more desirable right now then a 78...however, their time will come...but, it will probably be a while. So, I think 6k, to be honest, is a fair price for it. Sucks, yes, but, thats about all I see you'd get, unless you found that right person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
