I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey that no longer works, tranny is gone. It had been sitting in a driveway for about a year. I want to sell it for parts but no clue what I can ask for it? I mean, can I expect $1000? $500? $50?

It is missing 1 wheel and tire (up on blocks).

It has over 600,000km, engine was rebuilt at around 300,000km.

Thanks!

My parents had the same problem with their van a few years ago. They ended up giving it away in exchange that the "buyer" removed it from the driveway.

Scrap metal is about the only worth that vehicle has with that many km.

Find a factory service manual and follow the instructions to take everything apart. Familiarize yourself with all the parts.

Make a thread on every car related forum you can find and leave it up to the posters to PM you with what they want. Then just offer a price.

It's well worth the effort since you'll probably end up making a few grand.
