Anyone in Austin or Nearby?

Hey,

Wow what a piece of junk. $1,600 on a lightly used car for what seems to be a somewhat trivial issue. Incredible that these cars hold any retail value at all.

Mine could probably hit 600 with cruise set at 55 and no A/C during moderate spring/fall temperatures. I've got to about 550 before but I've never kept it an honest 55 for the whole tank.

I think you will have trouble getting more than $1,000 for it. Your options are probably to run it into the ground or take the engine out and sell the body for scrap. Just my $0.02.
