Here's some KBB private party values for the cars.
2000 Dodge Neon Highline - I left the options as the default values, and used 180k miles.
Excellent: $2,135
Good: $1,810
Fair: $1,460
1989 Honda Civic CRX Hatchback 2D - used 200k miles, left options as default, but unchecked the AM/FM cassette box, since this car doesn't have a working radio. I don't know if the CRX is an HF or SI model, that will probably change stuff.
Excellent: $1,000
Good: $825
Fair: $500
From the looks of things, I would consider your car in good shape, and the CRX in fair shape. So that's a difference of $1310. I doubt anyone would be willing to give you a CRX and $1300 for a Neon, but you should have KBB information with you before you go make any kind of offer. If the guy wants to get rid of it, he might be willing to go somewhere close to $1000, if you make the Neon look nice. In the situation that you're in, where you don't NEED a car, I wouldn't take anything less than $1000. You're going to have to spend a decent amount of money to get it back in respectable condition, and personally, I don't feel it's worth it.
