I am working on a 2002 Buick Rendezvous with a 3.4L engine. It is all wheel drive with 172,000 miles. It is needing head gaskets and the owners aren't wanting to spend the money to fix it and are thinking about selling it. The body appears to be in pretty good shape, I can only see only rust spot ( with all the plastic trim along the bottom is it hard to tell how much is rusted out) and the interior is in good shape. I am thinking about trying to buy it, fix it up and resell it. My question is what would this be worth? I have been talking to the lady who owns the vehicle and she ask me what I would offer. Thanks.

Trade in value for that car in fair condition is $875. Private party value in good condition is $2500.

If you bought it for $800 could you fix it and sell it for $2500 and make a profit? It's a tight margin. If I were in your shoes and trying to flip a car, those would be the guidelines I'd use. It's worth less than a grand. I'd offer $800 at the most. Maybe start at $500.

Thanks, I was thinking along the same lines. $1000 would be the most I would pay for it. I shot them an offer of $500, just waiting for a reply to see what they have to say. Thanks for the input.

The lady decided to fix it. So I guess I will be making money instead of spending money!! I was sorta bummed about it.

That might be a good thing. I might have been parked near the trailer awaiting repair. :D
