I have a sky blue 242 with 90,000 miles (yes really) that it's finally come time to say goodbye to. The body is in mostly good condition, with a few rust spots. It's an automatic transmission and has manual windows & doors. It spent most of its life in New Jersey and now resides in North Carolina.

KBB doesn't seem to provide values for old cars like this any more. Could you all give me a rough idea of what range I should expect to get for it, depending on its condition? I'm not really sure where to start. If it's helpful I published a log I've been keeping of the maintenance I've done since I received the car in 2006:

On a related note, if anyone's interested in purchasing the vehicle (its low mileage and decent body condition would make it a great fixer-upper for a 240 fan...), let me know and I'll take some pictures to post online.

Thanks!
Tobias
