Once it's running, clean it up and take it to Carmax, they'll do a free estimate, and tell you what they'll give you for it. It'll be pretty close to KBB value for trade/retail.
You can either take the money and go elsewhere or use it as a down on another car, You can also do nothing and use the estimate as leverage at another dealer when working on a trade value for your car. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 11:58 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: when to ditch a car? yeah and if i can dump it for 2-3k i will be ok... i still need to get to work, since i left my laptop there due to HR not wanting me to work from home..
