What's my toyota worth?

I BOUGHT a 1990 model Toyota SX Celica that has clocked up a mere 23,500km and is in excellent condition. As I am semi-retired, I am finding it difficult to rely on taxis and public transport in order to keep my car's mileage down, so I must reluctantly consider selling it. I would be grateful if you could give me a possible value and guidance about the best way to sell it to realise its full market potential.

WHAT you have is more a curiosity than a classic. Even with its very low mileage, it's still regarded as a used Celica by the trade, and it's not yet old enough to be considered a classic by enthusiasts. Whether the Celica will ever be considered a true classic is open to debate, but that's a matter that will be resolved in time. An average 1990 Celica SX is valued at about $11,000, but yours may attract a higher price because of its low mileage. I would think $15,000 is not out of the question. There are a number of ways to sell it: the classifieds, specialist magazines or by auction at one of the specialists such as Shannons.
