I would advertise it for about what the scrap value is. Local junkyards here may pay up to $400 for a car if you are lucky. With the age they often become less as the turn-around in used parts is often low. The car not starting is exactly the same issue I had with my parents 96 850 wagon. It sat for...

Swap in a battery from a running car and get it starting and driving.

Then you can list it for $1000 runner and sell it in one weekend, let the buyer drive it with your battery but make it clear they need their own

Otherwise, it’s scrap

A running engine, even if not driving is worth more than a dead engine. If you can spare an older battery that will start it, advertise as runs not moving.

Get it running and those wheels will break free. It might even be drivesble after a few trips up and down the road.

I agree with abscate. If you can get the car running you will get more money for it but not a huge mount. If someone can ask for $800 (way too much) locally here for an S70 with no compression but low mileage, then a good running engine would be good. Having said that, I bought a 2000 V70 a couple o...

Value it on www.NADAGuides.com then back out any needed repairs and overdue maintenance. I told one guy that I would take the car if he threw in $700.

List it as is for $500 or best offer, or get it running and driving and list it for $1k. These cars really aren't worth a lot, and it really depends on condition and mileage. You could probably get it sold fairly quickly for $500 to someone looking for a project or a flip, but anything more, at leas...

I think that's reasonable considering the fact that it can't be driven, she should be able to sell it fairly easily.

Start at $500 for a week or two. If no takers, drop the price to whatever has been offered. Sounds like she just wants to get rid of it as easily as possible. Around here there are salvage yards that will come get a car, but they only pay $100-$200.

I also think it would be a beautiful car for someone as it’s impeccable inside, good body , no rust, dents, etc. If I didn’t already love my c30 - which is perfect for my dog and carting around my artwork - I would consider it for myself. Thanks for your thoughts. If it's that nice cosmetically, sh...
