The Civic sold last night. $1000. I had it listed for $1750. Unsafetied, body damage, 330 000kms, multiple things wrong with it. Realistically, I think there was only so much I was going to get for it. I had multiple $1000 offers, and faced with the prospect of days and days of lower offers, just to finally get a unicorn who'd MAYBE give me $1500 for it, I just let it go for a grand. Even included the winter tires, because I'll need room in my shed for the ones coming with the new car. A mechanic bought it. He'll fix it up and sell it for maybe $3500 safetied. I didn't tell him about the power steering rack. He mentioned it's got a pretty bad valve cover leak (which it does, as the engine is basically covered in oil), and I think he assumed the puddle on the ground was from that.
Shame, because driving it, it didn't feel like a $1000 car. I would have had confidence taking the car on a roadtrip anywhere. We'd just put those new el-cheapo tires on it, too.
