Default opinion on price

ok guys i got a question. I'm wondering if you all think i'm asking too much for my car.

1988 Mustang LX 2.3 L

-completely rebuilt engine
-tires are almost new
-new rad
-new heatercore
-new ignition module and starter
-only 140 000 kms and about 15 000 on the new engine
-new brakes

and i'm asking $2300 CDN


whats your opinion on my price? or maybe you have some suggestions on how i can sell it. its been in the bargain finder for 2 weeks and not one call yet.

I had a rebuilt engine,trans, and tons of new parts. but it had a bad paint job and the interior was shoot. All I could get for my 87 was $1200.

i payed 2500CND for mine, original engine with original 124000km's with a bunch of parts that had just been replaced. also there is a very minute amount of rust because it was undercoated every year so its a solid body. i guess it just depends on the quality of the rebuild and what the person buying plans to do with the car.

see thats the problem... i have put so much into this car. I dont want to just give it away. All the other 88's in the paper are going for like $500 and thats not a price i'm willing to sell this for.
