Ok guys, i never thought the day would come, but I've about had it with this car. I don't know if I got the runt in the pack but I've had to do so many repairs to this car that I barely had time to enjoy it. I want to know what you guys think is a good asking price for this car. Be serious about it, please no give it to me for $5,000 posts. Let me give you the vehicle history, it's important.

The first and foremost is that it was in an accident. It was not my fault, someone pulled out in front of me without looking, but whether or not it was my fault it still devalues the car. It was professionally repaired and was worked on for ~3 months because i didn't want someone rushing the repair, i wanted someone to do it right. The front left side took scraped impact, and the rear right side took direct impact. There was ~$14,000 in repairs because if something wasn't even close to kosher I wanted it replaced. My goal was to fix it, not to get out of it cheap. The frame has been checked at 3 different frame shops and each one reads it exact to the millimeter. The whole subframe was replaced, the whole car was refinished and repainted except for the roof.

Ever since I had the car, even before the accident, it was repair after repair and I barely got ot enjoy it. After the accident it's been little things, leaks, but all have been fixed. The only remaining, yet will be solved problem, is the fact that it still pulls to the right. Some of you have probably helped me try and locate the problem, and I'm pretty sure I know why its pulling, I've just been busy with school to fix it. I will not sell it until it is fixed though. I understand the value and the history behind these cars and I wouldn't sell someone a bad deal.

It has 83,000 miles on it (don't know the exact reading off the top of my head and i'm lazy to walk to the garage). It's a beautiful car, but, I just want something different. I purchased it for $24,000 even and know I can't get close to that now.

I ran it through Kelley Blue Book, using a zip code from the Bay Area in California...noting the "major" body repair and the steering pull that has yet to be solved, it says around $17,500US for a private sale...
