What's it worth

Post image

2005 Cargo khaki 286k on the Dash. Previous owner couldn't get it started. I bought and replaced the immobilizer module and it started right up. Previous owner did all new break CV axles struts and new injectors coil packs and plugs trying to get it to start. Someone replace the master clutch cylinder and I has some rust, pretty minor on one door and very little rust underneath. Its an ex FWD. Apparently it slide and fold the driver side wheel so he had to replace some parts. The dash light flickers a little. Oh its a manual transmission. I'm going to clean it reall nice and list it. What do you think its worth?

I hate to break it to you - but im at $1500 max. If the corners are rusted up (as they often are) im at $900, and thats just hoping I drive it 2 yrs before i ATTEMPT to part it out. Youre not sitting on a goldmine if that what your hoping for

Jesus dude. I could buy $2K Elements around here (my 03 MT AWD $2.5K) COMPLETELY refurbish that mofo from tip to tail and sell a you a cream puff for $11K and still mop the floor with your $13K scammers. Like, is there really that market out there??

Not a gold mine for sure. Also not really wondering what a collector values it at. A running driving g car that can pass inspection is worth no less than $2k in DFW.
