I’m not asking that much I’ve seen much worse sell for more on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. The car can be driven just fine as is and fixed over time. Or left alone, I know a lot of ppl who don’t mind driving a dented vehicle, but I’m not one of them. The big thing is these cars regularly go 500,000 miles plus in fleet service and at 80,000 miles the engine and transmission is just getting broken in. A parts car to me has always been something that would cost more to get it driveable than it’s worth. Before the accident my insurance valued this car at $7500, I’ve seen comparable ones sell for $4-$6000. Therefore even with the damage there’s no reason I can’t get $1500-$2000 for it. Where I live you can’t buy a running, driveable, rust free car for under $3000. Yet I’m offering this one at $1500. Sure I’d like to get $2000 but I’d take $1500. The cheapest I can buy a low mileage non wrecked panther around here is about $3-$5000 with most on the higher end regardless of year. Nobody can afford to buy new cars in this piss poor high unemployment economy. So used cars are sky high. Never mind the fact that practically nobody makes a living wage anymore.
