    selling the car?

    Well for the first time in my life I acquired a new vehicle before completely running the life out of the old one. Not to say the car is in great shape but, running, driving probably has a few years left in it. The car is a 04 hyundia elantra GT, leather sunroof auto, fun little 4 banger with a good bit of pickup and great gas mileage.

    the bad
    Bad Catalytic converter, both front windows have issues staying in the track, minor rust, minor body defect(scratches ext) calipers are sticky, pushers need cleaning and new grease twice a year and something is draining the battery????.

    the good
    130k new battery, new alternator, water pump, timing belt done at 110k, new rotors/brakes all the way around, new belts, snow tires, new gas tank straps, more work in there if i could remember it all, but you get the idea "Maintained".



    the problem
    I have no clue how to price a used vehicle. lol
    thinking of throwing it out for $2,000 and seeing what bites.. but wondering if i am aiming too high/low? KBB says 3,500 in fair, so yeah, just looking for a little help with pricing.
    But in the end it's most likely to be the guy/gal with the cash offer that gets the car.

    Scrapping out the old cars is soooo much easier lol
    There ain't nothing wrong with an honest days work. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.- Old Man
