Tips on Buying Cars: 88 subaru, ac works, front wheel drive


Question
hi, i have a 88 subaru wagon front wheel drive in good shape. ac
works and the tires are prety good too. it has about 250000
miles and I just had a compression test done and it said that it
has a dead cylinder. I only bought it for $1500.00  and where I
live I don't have the facilitys to work on cars, I'm also a single
mom of 2 and just need something reliable. funds are very slim
and thought the subaru was a pretty good car. I think if
someone wanted to take the effort the car could be up and
going pretty quickly with a new engine. how much do you
suggest I put it in the paper for? thanks for your time, shiloh

Answer
Hi Shiloh,
sorry that car has stopped running.....there really is no market for a 16 year old car with that kind of mileage, and to put more money into it is throwing away good money after bad.....it is really a $ 100.00 car, but to advertise privately go ahead and ask $875.00, then hope you can get $400.00-750.00, good luck and let me know if i can offer any other assistance!
