I'm a recently widowed senior, needing to sell a 2001 Lexus 430 LS car for parts. The car was registered in my husband's business name. Since he is now deceased and the business no longer exists, I have to sell it as salvage car for parts, without the title. I've been trying to find out the best price I can expect to get for it, with no luck, so I'm hoping one of the eBay car buffs might have some suggestions for me.
Aesthetically, the car has been sitting for some time and is deteriorating: interior upholstery tears, sun damaged dash ledge, exterior moldings oxidized and peeling, a broken rear tail light and a few minor dings. Mechanically, I used to start it regularly and put air in the tires but it's been sitting so long the battery no longer takes a charge and tires don't hold air. I suspect it just needs a new battery and tires. Prior to these issues, it ran like a champ so the engine and mechanical parts should all be in great shape for anyone wanting to part it out. It was a top of the line model in its day.
I honestly don't know anything about cars so I would be really grateful for suggestions on an asking price, based on what I do know about it and have outlined. I plan to list it for local pickup, as it will need to be towed.
