Selling my car

Selling my car
I dont post much on here but, my car has been nothing but headaches to me for the passed 2 months and then some before that. One of the timing chain tensioners I just replaced developed a tick again. The tick was a loud knock at first replaced it and now a week later its ticking at any RPM above 2500. Also when I put the car in reverse it feels like its slipping making the car feel rough. The car has no A/C thanks to the previous owner one of the high pressure freon lines is busted. The car is faded and has a ding in the pass side door. With 135k unknown miles due to the odometer being broken when I bought it everything seems to be falling apart. I dont know what to do with it nor have the time and money to fix these problems atm.
Despite how much I love the car, I dunno how much it would sell for from all the things that are wrong with the car or even sell at all.
What would be a price to put it on craigslist for?

List high and start from there. Somewhere around 6500 might just be a stretch, especially considering what work needs to be done with it and the mileage being the way it is, but the stuff/mods that is done to it can make that price seem reasonable...well, to the right buyer.

Keep in mind the car runs, accelerates, and drives just fine. I just drove 950 miles on it from oklahoma to florida. Thanks for your opinon though.

I can't see $3.5k-$4.5k with numerous mechanical problems, bad paint and body damage--it's a $1000 dollar car around here.
The best bet would be to part it out, the heads and cams, cleaned up in a box ready to be shipped, are probably worth more than the whole car.
I did that some years ago with my '90 Miata that was in quite similar condition (bad paint, noisy rear-end, leaking rear main, 210k miles). I put the car back to stock and sold it for $1100, then sold the ECU, supercharger, header, exhaust, fuel pump, etc. on eBay for $3700. There's no way I would have gotten $4800 for the car with the goodies still on it...

i would say part it out as well. since the mods you have a lot of people would grab. otherwise i would guess start at $2500 and expect to go down from there. the mods will help some, but with the problems cant expect alot.

or if you really didn't want to take the car apart and return to stock...just sell everythign on the car. quarter panels, fenders, doors, wheels, engine parts and then junk the rest of the car that is unsellable.
