I checked Edmunds yesterday, and I can say I personally would pay more than
the top price (the retail used car price, not more than $3k for my area)
that they said was the average for your car. I wouldn't pay $10k. Maybe 33%
more than what Edmunds states for the retail price. Otherwise, I'd think the
seller was seriously trying to gouge me. Fact is, I'd only be interested
because I know this vintage of Hondas pretty well at this point. That's
worth something to me. The typical used car buyer does not have this
knowledge and has only Edmunds to go by. That's leverage on the buyer's
side. S/he doesn't have to trust you about what a great car it is. You're
only one person, and the (biased) seller at that.
But set the price at a value that makes sense to you, with room for
haggling, and see if you get some interest. Maybe have documentation on why
this is such a great car.
