Yet here i am with my 18 year old car that is actually running, still looks good enough with only minor damage, and not going to sell it because I couldn't possibly think anyone wants it. If I did sell it there's no way i could ask more than 1k.
You'd be surprised. I had a beatup 2005 Ford Focus that I bought for $500 to learn how to drive stick. The seat fabric was torn up and staind. Foggy head lights. Mildew smell after a rain. I donated it to a local radio station where they'd sell the vehicle to help support the radio station.
