What's up with that one exhaust tip? Does it look like someone backed up into something and caught it?

Still looks good though. Would never believe it was the same car. The hood and rear quarter straightened out pretty nicely!

KBB private party values this car at $3959 in excellent condition. I put a sticker price of $4250 on it, so I had some room for negotiation.

Today, a kid (that is the son of the tire shop owner that I use) walked over to my house and said he needed a car. He asked about the white one, and I said I was almost done with it. He said he would take it when I was done with it. We shook hands and he walked off. About 10 minutes later he walked up again and said he wants the silver one instead. He whipped out the cash and handed it over. $4250 in cash, no negotiation, no test drive. He needed a car to go to Iowa today, and he couldn't wait for the white one. I was dumbfounded how it all went down, but I'm very pleased. I sold this one with obvious damage, with a salvage title, for over book value.

He picked a great car to do a MN to IA run in... I did that but backwards, and to SD. :lol:

Someone should tell him to watch for speed cameras in the Cedar Rapids area. #-o

LOL, sounds like he was either going down for a party or a girl (or both), lol.

Glad to see you got it sold!
