I understand that I am asking a lot for this car. My thought was to aim high at first and then come down if necessary. I really don't think I'll get what I'm asking either, but I figured why not try since I'm not working on a timetable. I did do the research (I used edmunds.com instead) and found that for private sale I should ask ~$8200. Here are some other people who are asking as much as (or more than) what I am and their cars don't have all the options that mine does.

I appreciate you guys' input though... but I still think you're comparing apples with oranges. However, I'll be bringing down the price shortly. Also if anybody is still interested in the car for what it is I will entertain all offers.
Thanks,
