Need some input

Hi guys, i have a 98 convertible that I want to sell that car needs work it has about 110k miles I had a light fender bender a few years back and it damaged the driver side fender and front bumper which I replaced so the car will need a full paint job new top and tires because they are old, car ran great before the accident but it’s been sitting in my driveway since and I haven’t started the car in a few years so my question is how much I should expect to get for it realistically I’m attaching some pictures

Worth more if you can make it run and drive properly.
As is, rough condition, not running, maybe $4K.

Even if nothing mechanical needs fixing, there are a lot of cosmetic things to do which can run into some serious cash. I would say $4-5K for the car as is.

After reading the description and looking at the pics- I came up with "that car is worth $5k max"

then I read the replies. We all seem to agree!

could be a pretty car, and it's definitely got parts on it that are valuable, but as it sits- she needs a lot before she'll be at her former glory

where are you located?
