as far as getting work done to the car...if you can`t afford it don`t worry about it but if you have a local mechanic that you trust ask him to look it over and get a rough idea of what needs to be done to the car that way you have an idea of what the car needs.. the more work needed generally means lesser value of the vehicle
now paper work is always good to have when you sell an older car the more documentation the better. original bill of sale is a good one. I wouldn`t worry about trying to find tune up bills small mechanical repairs... unless readily avalible
as per the owners of the car .all you need to say is ....has been in the family since new.
now for the price of the car......that is always the hard one. low miles good body nice interior orinal motor,trans always best it = more money for the car
these cars can range from 100$ to 7000$ depending on the shape and options in the car a front bucket seat console car always gets more interest since it is more desireable..if you have options like A/C that works power brakes,power steering and so on.
now one thing you have to consider is the sentimental value of the car that most people put on thier cars..sorry but it doenst make the car worth more..my cars have always had that and it makes them hard to part with really but it all comes down to the almighty dollar for the buyer
I hope this helps Jill and good luck with the sale of your car

sounds right to me,
make sure to take lots of pics of the car, inside and out, underneith if you can, under the hood and in the trunk even. this will help a buyer make a more educated choice since you dont know what to look for. good luck with the sale..
