NADA.com will also be a help, but neither of these has a rating for vehicles that are in non-operable condition. My recommendation would be to donate it to a charity, you'll get more bang for your buck out of it. In its current condition, you'll be lucky to get $300 for it. Or find someone that wants to part it out. Maybe Ebay.

Using the Kelly Blue Book / Private Party Value, with the basic V90 configuration. The results (from Excellent to Fair) are:Excellent: $5,880 Looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. Never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. Clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. Engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. Complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category. Good: $5,305 Free of any major defects. Clean title history, the paints, body, and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. Little or no rust on this vehicle. Tires match and have substantial tread wear left.A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category. Fair: $4,575 Some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. Clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. Tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage.Poor: N/A Severe mechanical and/or cosmetic defects and is in poor running condition. May have problems that cannot be readily fixed such as a damaged frame or a rusted-through body. Branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) or unsubstantiated mileage.A very clean 1998 V90 with 98,000 miles and a 3 month/3000 mile warranty just came on eBay and already has 4 bids [$2275 as I write this]. I think your car has a very specialized market (Squareheads) so you never know what it will bring!Hope this helps!
