Wow, now I'm really feeling like crap!!
Damn, I drive this car every day and it has never given me problems... other than just plain old age. I think it's a great car and it gets 30+ mpg (and that's just city!)... interior and exterior look very clean, no accidents ever... damn, is it really that worthless??
Anyway, it's 89K miles, and I was hoping for around $2000... but apparently that's too optimistic. The one serious person said it wasn't worth more than $1600, so I was starting to think along those lines... but my dad is a real stickler and says it's worth at least $2000, he drove it across the country (WA to PA) a couple of years ago and loves the thing. I do, too.
I don't get it. If I wasn't moving, I'd definitely keep the car, and put in the $1000 or so to fix it. But you folks are telling me that it's not even worth $1000... but to me, the car looks great and has a few easily-fixed snags. Am I just totally naive?
EDIT: For what it's worth, I've disclosed everything that I am aware of (e.g. front alignment, e-brake, windshield). All of that would take less than a $1000 to fix, and I'd do it myself if I had time and if I thought it would raise the price of the car... but my dad says there's no point in doing that, since someone else can fix it.
