Hmm, well here's the latest:
1) Took the car to get the e-brake looked at last week, paid way too much ($65) for them to tighten it down twice (two days in a row!) with still no hold on a hill. So they tell me it might need a new parking brake cable. So much for being a conscientious seller. Still debating over whether I should pay for that, or just be honest about it with the buyer (stick-shift really needs a parking brake)...
2) Had 3 people say they'd look at it over the weekend, then noticed that someone had posted an ad for a 1998 Escort (one year older than mine, but same mileage) for $1500... underselling me by a good $600, and his was in better condition and with a PA inspection to boot. No one came to see my car.
3) So, as a result of the above, I've reposted it on Craigslist again for $1900 this time, and we'll see how that goes. If it gets to Thursday of this week without any serious buyers, though, I'm gonna start dropping it quick (I need to get rid of it by Monday of next week!). I'd rather not go below $1500, but we'll see.
Thanks for all the help, we'll see what happens. I did look at some local papers, but this is a podunk little suburb and it seems very few people read the local newspaper (they go for the big city news). Hmph.
