- Current owner was told car only had one owner before her. Current owner bought car in 1994.

Damage :
- Cosmetic damage to exterior and interior. Exterior damage consists of dents and dings, hood especially. Most exterior damage due to regular wear and tear, hood damage the exception. Interior damage mostly due to leaks from T-top, all other stains/fading due to regular wear and tear. Cruise control inoperative. Rear window washer inoperative. No antennae. Tape deck inoperative.

Thank you for your critiques on my price, I appreciate your candor and honesty. Truth is, I did put 'OBO' or 'Or Best Offer' on the asking price. I realize it is probably asking too much, which is why I am willing to negotiate. I have found most of the work records, in case a potential buyer is interested. I am seeing what I can do about correcting most of the superficial wear-and-tear damage.

I used three different sources to determine a price range:

1> http://www.nadaguides.com/uv/viewresults.aspx?LI=1-12-1-2031-0-0-0&Lnk=1&wSec=12&wPr=1&wPg=2032
The Low to Average Retail
2> Verbal quote by car dealer Used Car representative
3> http://www.edmunds.com/tmv/used/nissan/index.html
Rough Condition

In addition, as you can see on Edmunds, if the car were in mint/showroom condition, I would be able to ask around $10,000+ for it. However, I conceed that the damage must be accounted for in the quoting price, thus the willingness to negotiate. Quote high, and negotiate low.

As for the mileage, I can only say that it was the sole transportation for this driver for the past 10 years.

If there are any offers, please do not hesitate to give me a PM. If there are anymore comments, please do not hesistate to type them out.

Greetings again,

My car was taken to a mechanic and was found to have more wrong with it than I initially thought. Then, most likely due to mileage, functions on the car began to deteriorate. So yes, the asking price was too much. The car has since been sold to a Used Car Dealer.

I apologize for being niave in my classified. It was my first time selling the car, and from my sporatic research on it I thought it more valuable. Thank you for your time. Please delete my sign-on to this site as I no longer own a Nissan.

Sincerely,
Suzaku_Mirai
