2000 Saturn SW2 for sale - round 3
 

I'm selling my 2000 Saturn SW2.
Yes, I keep saying that, I know. Here's hoping I don't have another vehicle break down or get wrecked before I can sell it.

The bad:
Probable cracked exhaust valve, runs on 3 cylinders, low compression on that cylinder.
Uses oil like a Saturn.
Driver's seat looking rough now.
Needs tires (all very worn and two of them leak).
Exhaust leaks
Transmission has funky down shift
Battery goes dead if it sits for a week
Old crash damage here and there
A/C doesn't work
CEL stays on.

The Good:
Clear Virginia title
Virginia state inspection good until end of November 2021
If the battery's not dead from sitting it'll start and run every time, jump starts easily just the same.
Still drives and handles great
Willing to deliver within 200 miles of Moneta, VA. (it will have no problem getting there)

Take cash or paypal only.
(picture is from last year before I got it reinspected, currently has a Virginia inspection good til the end of 11/2021)
Can send more on request.

Make me an offer I can't refuse!
(might trade for 1990-1991 Toyota Camry or Ford front axle - Dana 50 TTB)

If only it were a standard...

Update:
Fixed the battery going dead problem (was a bad cell in the battery).
Still up for sale.

Update: Put decent tires on it a couple days ago.
Have now loaned the car to my step daughter for a week.
It's still for sale though.
$450

Not that I relish the concept, but have you put that on your local Craigslist? The buyers are shady so don't let them near your house. A running vehicle for 450 should get snapped up.

Weapon optional

I have indeed put it on my local craigslist. I'm getting frustrated with the kind of responses I'm getting too. I've advertised it using pretty much the same description I gave here. I also listed it as "$500 firm".
Most responses start with "will you take $300?" or "what's your bottom dollar?"
Or my favorite: "Is there anyway you could drive it here? I don't know many people and it would give me all the confidence I need in the purchase"
(I said "maybe". never heard another word).
Considering I could probably do better than $300 if I drove it to the scrap yard I just don't understand these type of responses.
No one, not one person has offered to come see it.
I'm thinking of relisting it at $800 so people can feel good about themselves for talking me down to $500.

That's probably what you need to do, Jam. If I had the money and lived closer, I'd consider it, but my wife is going in for her 12th back surgery in 9 days and I need every penny I can get my hands on. I'm thinking about panhandling, but it's too damned hot for this old man to be outside for long. Raise the price and you'll probably get it sold.

So, apparently this car will do anything to keep from being sold. I'm thinking of naming it Christine.
Every time I have put it up for sale one of my other daily drivers has something major happen to make it undriveable.
This time we had our 1999 Buick Century daily driver suddenly have a catastrophic engine failure.
Really a shame since it was the only car we had with working air conditioning.
After standing there looking at 3 of our now dead daily drivers that were sidelined with serious issues shortly after declaring that the Saturn is for sale I've decided that I won't ever try to sell it again.
Still runs and drives the same as always so there's that.
Sorry for all the false starts with trying to sell it.
