1990 CIVIC WAGON - What would you do?

Hello All!
The question is what to do with my late father-in-law's car. It'll be in probate for a couple of months so not for sale yet. The family wants advice on what to do - junk? Sell on eBay? Somewhere else? It has about 204k miles on it, was well maintained, and was garaged. The interior in particular probably as clean as you'll get in a car this age. My father in law was, how do I put this? a very fastidious man. I recently drove it a few miles to recharge the battery - hadn't been driven in some time. At first it stalled out when idling, but after running to charge the battery it seemed to run fine. I don't think the AC works. Any guesses on what it might sell for? Other thoughts?
Thank you for taking the time to look. I'm a newbie no-nothing.....

Whereabouts are you located? If I wasn't financially tied up in school, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Still might depending on where you are.

There's certainly a buyer out there for this. As for value, I'm not really sure. People buy them now mostly for engine swaps and making more power. The advantage with this is that it looks to be in fantastic shape.

The car is located in New York City, so maybe a bridge too far for you. I'll post again if/when it becomes available to sell.

Thanks Colin42. Useful information. Where have you seen older Hondas for sale? This forum seems like a good idea, but what about eBay?

eBay, local buy/sell pages/websites, Facebook groups. If there's a classic car club in your area they might be able to help you find someone that is interested in the car

Thank you Colin42. I feel like an idiot for not having those ideas myself. But I didn't, and I appreciate you helping out an idiot!

No worries sometimes we need an outside opinion when we get hung up on something
