98 Mercury Mystique - What's it worth? #1441580 11/21/05 08:39 PM

He says the slave cylinder is leaking and to fix it requires a clutch kit. Car is beautiful, and everything works except the clutch. What do you guys think of this car, and what's it worth? He is not firm on a price, and I am not sure I want to have another project. Thanks, DC

I doubt your friend will get any bids above $1000. www.edmunds.com gives it approx. $2000 value (assuming everything works). Anyway, good luck to your friend.

There is no reserve and the bid is at $599 right now with 15 hours to go! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4599476878 item number = 4599476878 It's a really nice car in need of one repair, although relatively major, a clutch.
