Pal you don't want to know what it's worth up here ha ha. There is a '94 CX with 287k KMs (178k miles), 5 speed, ok interior, some rust in the 1/4s but not bad (think 3 quarters beside each other worth of bubbles/rust on each side). Decent tires, drives OK but stinks like dog. Its been running at the auction for 3 weeks, and the guy can't get $600 for it. At 2 auctions a week, $40 a piece for no sale/run fees, if he sold it today for $600, he'd be out a $125 sell fee, and 6x$40 no sale fees, so his cheque would be $235. Hopefully there is more of a market for this stuff where you are, so my best advice is, if you can't use it, and you have a buyer, then take it! If you have $650 into it, it served it purpose over 18 months, then you really only spent $36 a month to have a functioning, efficient car. A guy I know just bought a 2 year old full full load F350 diesel, and his payments are $850 a month, and that's after a huge down payment. A live buyer with cash in hand is worth it's weight in gold, especially if you don't need it and it's in rough shape. Just my 2 cents.
