With that few miles, it should look like new (carpeting, weatherstrips, etc.) if it was kept inside. If not, it might have 109,800 miles....or 209.800 miles on it. Or it could be that Bubba installed a new speedometer 9800 miles ago. Be careful.

It is in a farm auction. 1 owner. The farmer died and his wife is auctioning the equipment. This has been covered in the barn. No bubba resto or new speedometer.

Is there a reserve? If not, all you have to do is determine how high you want to bid.

Good luck.

Farm auctions can be really weird. I like to buy older heavy duty chop equipment at estate auctions. I've seen stuff really cheap, like a low mileage pristine Austin Healey 3000 go for less than $5k and it was easily a car worth 25 grand.

I've also seen lots of stuff go WAY ABOVE market value like a rusty 69 Raod Runner fetch $10k.

If this is advertised very well you could easily break $12k, but it may be worth it.

The value of that car is the low mileage. It should really be a true numbers matching car since it may never have been to the dealer for any service work.

If the condition is pretty good, I would think it would be close to $15,000. There are some instances where the KBB would not be a good judge of value and this may be one of them. It has intrinsic value that a book cannot cover.
