jd: that $4,275figure: is that the kbb price for a sqle to a private buyer, or the trade-in price that a dealer would 'give' you? probably the private sale price, huh? My $.02: whatever money you have already put into the car is pretty much offset by what money you have NOT put into the car, in terms of repairing the broken/deficient items. IF you could get $4,275 for your car tomorrow, would you take it? What would you drive if you sold it (i.e., do you have a 2nd car)? IF you are serious about selling it, keep all of your receipts, sell the car 'as is,' being ready to point out what you HAVE spent, versus what a new owner would have to fork out for repairs; I would call it a wash, frankly, but many used-car buyers almost literally beat the sel;ler down on every little point until you're either ready to kill THEM...or even worse, to kill YOURSELF (not really, but it feels that way when you run into 'the professional low-baller). My bet? Nobody will gice you that much money for the car, assuming (perhaps rightly) that the $4,275 is based on a car in good running order. Good Luck. --PD.
