What do you feel my 190E would be worth?
My grandmother owned this car since day 1. It is a 1984 190E, and has around 29,000 miles (yes, original mileage), so it is as low of mileage as I would ever imagine seeing these go for. She recently purchased a new Corolla, and I have been put in charge of selling the 190E off. However, I have had a little difficulty finding what a standard price would be, since #1 its very old, and #2 a blue book would not adequately reflect a vehicle of this age with this amount of mileage. Therefore I would like to ask you if you have any input as to how much you would expect to see this car sold for? Thanks for any help in advance.

Low mileage, while encouraging to a buyer, may not boost the value of your '84 much. While low mileage may be good for certain powerplant parts, it doesn't mean that things like the rubber/plastic suspension parts are going to need expensive replacement after 23 years.
The '84 also has the "distinction" of being the lowest HP gasoline version sold in the US; has several unique (read harder to obtain) parts like the cylinder head, air cond compressor, hood, wiper . . .
Without knowing much more about the actual condition of the car, and assuming that its in "GOOD" condition, then I would expect that the car would sell to a private buyer for somewhere around (high or low) $3500. That price range reflects a premium for the original owner/low mileage.

It's really only worth about $2000.
But if it's in pristine condition I'd say you could get $3500-4000 for it depending on where you list it. If I were you I'd list it in a magazine that has similar cars like it. Always price it about $250-500 more than you really want for it, so there is some room for the buyer to haggle, without you getting less than the price than you really want.
Good Luck.

speaking of '84 190's
my girlfriend just got smashed by some bonehead.
odometer was stuck at 76K
I got $3600 for the car lol......it was a bucket of *****.
$500 was for injury write-off and they jacked the price by $1500 for the mileage.
So your best bet would be to get smashed by someone.

All depends on the buyer.
If you find someone that loves 190s, then a low mileage one like that would be worth more. But most people won't really appreciate a nice low mileage 190e since it will most likely be their daily driver.
