Unhappy Selling my 300CD

Well it's gotta go. Main reason being it costs too much to have two cars and with my dad occasionally using the car, he does not like the 300CD?!

The 300CD has 192k mi. and it has a LOT of new parts in it.

alternator (Bosch rebuilt)
shocks all around (Bilstein Comforts)
subframe bushings
oil pan and oil pan gasket
rear brake pads, and front rotors

9/10 wood
very clean interior

new engine mounts and transmission mount
new idler arm and tie rods + four wheel alignment

The brake fluid, p/s fluid+filter, rear end oil were all replaced about a year ago.
Flushed the cooling system last year in winter
valve adjustment a few hundred miles ago + new valve cover gasket
transmission shifts nicely and engine starts in one crank.
Mobil1 Synthetic ATF and filter just a few hundred miles ago.
fuel filters are clean

new belts
new hood pad
new thermostat
new aux. fan and switches
new parking brake shoes
a rebuilt left rear caliper
replaced the pinion seal (rear differential)
new Pilkington windshield
rear windshield seal (took care of water leaks)
Pioneer radio and speakers
i must add the rear windows work
and the vacuum seatbacks lock are working.
Mobil 1 Delvac used for engine oil.

the driveshaft was rebuilt and the bearing, and the mount were replaced along with both flex discs.
(driveshaft busihing, driveshaft support, center bearing)

Things to take care of:

some rust spots around the windshield (needs to be taken care of)
some rust spots on the front spoiler and the driver's side just became a hole

not so perfect paint job
the left door's out of alignment
sunroof needs a new cable
two cracks in the dash
some oil leaks from the engine
A/C needs : compressor, expansion valve and high side hose.

i spent too much money on a car that was not worth spending money on. But that's allright, it never left me stranded, never overheated, always started - very reliable and dependable car.
oh and it doesn't shake at idle

I don't drive the car enough (have only put 6000 mi. since I bought it last year).

BTW, if you live around here and have something to trade (90's toyota or any other econobox ) let me know.

I prefer to do sales w/ people in Boston or around here.

My asking price is $3250 - Just don't wanna see it all rusted out and beat up in a few years.. so I don't wanna try Ebay or papers...

that is with the Euro headlights and four nearly new ASA 15-hole replicas w/ like-new Michelin MXV4 Plus tires

If you don't want them I guess we can negotiate on the price. I'd like to keep 'em in case I get another 123
