1996 S 500 Coupe For Sale

This car is a great bargain, excellent condition, around 105,000 miles. It belonged to my father who passed away 5 years ago and my elderly mother was reluctant is sell. 5 years ago it would have sold for quite a bit more money, however that is why this car is such a good deal. Because of the condition of the vehicle and the contradictory book value, I'm trying to get $2500, but I will consider offers. Interested parties can contact me through the forum.

Do you have all of the service records for the car? Where are you located?

Hard to argue with the price. Maybe a VIN for the CARFAX would be helpful.

Edit, I had an unused report and ran it from the plate. Clean CARFAX with a ton of service records. Somebody needs to ****** that gem up!

Thanks for the compliment Mike5215, my Dad took good care of all of his cars as you can see from the service records.

Price seems very low. What's the status of the title? Is it titled just to your dad or is it jointly titled "and/or" to your mom?

KBB pegs private party very good condition value under $1800. It is definitely not priced too low. Remember that the car is 21 years old.

I considered the kbb and the condition of this car when I priced it. It is a bargain for a really nice car.

Whatever the price, if the car never passed thru probate and been titled in someone other than the decedents name it can't be registered or titled.

I never thought about that. Hopefully the OP can get us a good answer to that query.

Yeah. I see where you're at on the price, given the age and miles (although unlike the 220/221 this gen S isn't anywhere near as scary at 100,000 miles. Much more rugged and less complex). Then again, you can't buy a clean used Civic for $2500. That's damn near couch cushion money. It would make a fun weekend car.

A fun weekend car? Probably yes. It does have a very strong V8. But honestly, I believe it would make a better everyday driver. It is a very good 20 plus year old vehicle and I understand that these cars are good for 200 + thousand miles. If that's truly the case, and the new owner does the maintenance, its only about half way through its useful life.
