Hi Lori
Welcome to the list, although I suspect you won't be on it for long if you
successfully sell your Sprite!
Firstly, it's very difficult to be able to put a price on a car, specially one of
these cars without having seen it first.
The three factors that determine value for these cars are firstly bodywork
condition, ie how much rust does it have? As this is one of the most expensive
areas to put right. So, how much rust it has and the areas that the rust is in is
a big factor.
The second is how original is the car? Does it have all of the original
equipment with it? Has it been modified in any way? What parts are missing?
The third and least important in my mind is the state of the mechanical
components, what condition are they in, what needs replacing etc
I'm sure you'll see what I mean when I say its very difficult to value cars
unseen.
Having said all of that, and going on what you've said, I doubt very much that
it would be worth much more than 750-1,000 USD, and again that depends on
condition, originality etc, done a full circle now!
Another good way of assessing value is to simply look at other cars on the
market the same as yours, condition and model wise and see what they're
selling for.
