* Condition: A pristine, low-mileage Cavalier in excellent mechanical condition will be worth significantly more than one that's rusty, damaged, or has high mileage.
* Mileage: Lower mileage generally means higher value.
* Location: Prices vary geographically due to market demand and supply.
* Features: Options like power windows, air conditioning, and specific trim levels impact value.
* Maintenance history: A well-maintained car with documented service is more desirable.
To get an estimate of the retail value, I recommend checking these resources:
* Kelley Blue Book (KBB): [www.kbb.com](www.kbb.com)
* Edmunds: [www.edmunds.com](www.edmunds.com)
* NADA Guides: [www.nadaguides.com](www.nadaguides.com)
These websites allow you to input the specific details of the Cavalier (mileage, condition, options) to get a more accurate valuation. Keep in mind that these are estimates; the actual selling price could be higher or lower depending on the buyer and seller. You'll likely find that a 2001 Cavalier is worth only a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, at most.
