Default what u think?

ok well i am trying to sell my car and i recetly found a clunking noise coming from the front end when i turn the weel sharp and go around a corner. i called ford and took it in and they say its my front right balljoint and told me its about 250 per side. But mind as well do both sides. i wanted 5k for my car but since this problem occured i am droping the price to 4,500 do u think that it would go for that with the problem? nothing else wrong with it runs like a champ!!

balljoints are only 45$ per side and pretty easy to do

I'd buy it for $4500. Also, I'd try to fix the ball joints myself, if I were you. Just read up on it, figure out what tools you need, rent the tools from Autozone, and hook it up--if you think you can handle it. Good luck.

just fix them..that way you can start your pricing higher

and lower it to what you wanna sell it at if the person doesnt want it

haha..and i think most people would rather pay 5k for a fixed car

rather than a car w/ a problem that they arent for sure about for 4.5k
