So the Challenger has to go. I was going to wait until I had the title in hand but the thought of paying insurance on a car I'm not driving for the next 6 months just doesn't sit well with me. That's $900 that could go to the project. The problem is I'm not really getting ANY hits. Not even getting lowball offers.
So far I've taken it to the Dodge dealership in town, CarMax and Jeff. The dodge dealership in town just straight said they don't wanna touch it because they'll "have" to change out the katzkin interior ... that was put in by Dodge. CarMax gave me 14k which was actually higher than I was expecting but not high enough to seriously consider. KBB has it around 15-16k for a trade-in and 17-18k for a private sell. I have yet to see one for sale for less than 18,000 and most are a lot closer to 20.
I've posted it to a large (55k) Mopar only trading group and Craigslist. Any other place I should consider? Is a small lien really that big of a deal? I plan on doing the transaction at my bank regardless so it's no difference to me personally.
What's pissing me off the most is the dealership even had a 2010 with similar mileage on the lot for $21500.
