Recent maintenance and new parts include two new front rotors (two years ago) and a new battery (one month ago). I also have a couple of totes full of replacement parts (mechanical, electronic, interior, etc.), and another set of wheels.

Finally, I thought about selling this car in 2008. The offer I accepted was $2100. The guy was going to drive up from south Florida to pick up the car, but before he made the trip I bought a Geo Metro convertible that my girlfriend learned quickly she did not like. So, I canceled the deal and sold the Metro. I say this to give people on the forum an idea of what this car, in this condition, sells for in Florida.

I'd like to sell this car to someone who will respect it. It has untapped performance potential and, when I was driving it regularly, I was getting 41 mpg. The recent tank (34 mpg) was somewhat lower because I was inspecting everything on the car and getting on it a bit to make sure there would be no surprises for a buyer.

With that said, if someone offers my asking price ($2000), I'll repaint the car (white) for the buyer. I don't want the buyer to have any excuse to treat the car like sh*t.
