There is the old Blue Book values but the value of your car is going to be determined by what a similar car would sell for in your particular area.

Buy it back, and save the power train, and put it in that W124 wagon in your sig.

606 turbo in a W124 would be fantastic.

Smart car a member of the same family?


Actually my aunt went down the wrong side of an early cloverleaf and we disabled a tractor trailor. In a 1948 chev car many moons ago. She drove it home. I had quite a lump on my for head from it slamming into the dash.


The odds of that situation where long but it happened. I am at a loss to remember what it was that disabled the tractor unit. It was pretty well a head on accident on a curve. Speed was not that great. One would have expected the exact opposite.


Back that long ago it probably was discussed that my aunt was a female driver. Not a very high percentage of women drove.
