Contemplating selling my 97 ssei

Post by nbro3546 »

I'm currently out of work (self employed) and might have to sell my bonnie :woowoo:
Almost at 197,000 miles, runs and drives great, all new cooper tires, R1 rotors w/ ceramic pads, rear monroe air shocks, new brake lines, thermostat, etc. KBB says "fair" condition is $2590 but not really sure about that price b/c all the annoying small problems. Like the gas gauge has never worked, gas door opening is a 2 man job lol (or pop the trunk and hit the release), the digital dash flashes out of nowhere and chime goes off at the same time :banghead: , exhaust needs a bit of work (rotted muffler is my guess), and the front rims don't match the back. I know I'm very picky about buying used cars and just wanna know could or should I ask about $2500 OBO or just put $2000 Firm?
Question is what would you guys pay for a dark green bonnie w/ all this info? Paint and clear coat look excellent for its age (especially in IL)

Thanks for tolerating my rant and mybad if this is the wrong section :beerchug:

I feel like around here it would be about a $2000 car, just because of all of the little problems. That's the kind of thing that people like to tear apart when looking at a car...
