Well as much as I hate to say it. I may have to sell the girl. I got a new job as well as my location, needs a vehicle with 4wd. My subdivision is up / down a 60% grade and I'm outside of town limits so the chances are of it being plowed for snow are slim to none. Also my warehouse doesn't get graded either so I'm coming to terms I mean I may have to part ways.

Here comes the help I need. My car is rough. I'm talking worn seats, cracked and split. Rear windows don't work. Paint is faded and flaking. I've got 2 rust spots on the passenger rear panel. About the size of a quarter. Needs shocks.

Good. She runs amazing. No issues. No missing. New tires. Ac blasts ice cold.

What should I start out at. Then how much should I take. I was thinking start at 2000. Take 1500?

I think you have a fair price for a running car. 1500-2000 would be a good pickup. How many miles? My crank bearings finally started knocking between 250-260k Make sure you keep your oil right and don't beat on er too hard! lol

I wonder how much you could get out of it by parting it out and then recycling the scrap metal. I would be interested in spare parts....

not trying to be a blood sucker just would be interesting to start a thread on it if you had the time

I would start it at $2500 and fix the windows. 188k is low mileage for these cars. I'm setting at 255k (knock on wood).
