What price for my 78 300CD

I am about to put my wifes 78 300 CD on the market.. It has been her dailey driver for years... It has been garage kept but setting at work the paint has faded a lot the last few years... Its white so still looks nice.. It has always been well serviced.. It has about 250000 miles on it.. The engine was rebuilt less than 100000 miles ago.. It has no leaks and uses little oil.. We live in the high country and it pulls grades all the time and often passes other 300 non turbo cars with ease..

In the last few years I have replaced the rear bearings.. rear axles.. had a drive shaft done in Portland with all new donuts and carrier bearing.. I have replaced the AC Compressor, climate control, injectors, replaced the front seat pads bottom and top and new covers.. Has new front rotors and pads.. and lots more.. All as normal mantaince..

She used it Friday for a 700 mile trip becasue she likes to drive it and left her 92 300CE setting in the garage.... Its in great shape and I would have no problem to just jump in and go any where.. Really hate to see it go but got no room for it.. Do not want to let it set out all the time..

So what do you guys think I should ask for it..
Ken

Ken,

Put the 300CD on Ebay with a reserve you would be comfortable selling it for.

Remember something is worth what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller in an open market. Ever hear someone say it was worth $2000 but I sold it for $1000? Guess what: it was worth $1000, the selling price.

I would have to say depending on how the market is where you are, you might be able to get somewhere between $1,000-$3,000. I bought my 1979 300CD for around $2500 and it was/is in about the same condition as your car.
