I finally found a reasonably-priced car from this decade, so I must part ways with my Buick. This is the Gran Sport trim, so it has a 3.8 liter V6 engine with a 4-speed transmission. The car runs very solidly, but there are a number of things wrong with it:

-No air conditioning and no heat. The heating coil leaks coolant (IIRC) and thus is disconnected, and I recall the A/C needing an expensive repair that I cannot afford.
-There is a coolant leak somewhere. I replaced the radiator about two years ago, which fixed the biggest leak, but one smaller one remains. It hasn't given the car any trouble so far.
-The front windows do not work. The passenger side window has an electrical problem, and the driver's side window is unattached to one of the bars in the door which raise and lower it. Should be a simple fix for someone with know-how.
-Typical "cosmetic" damage: The paint looks pretty bad on the hood and roof, and the leather is coming apart in the driver's seat. The passenger side door mirror is partially attached.
-It needs new tires.

Recent maintenance includes the radiator and brakes/rotors. All maintenance has been done by Cross Creek Automotive (formerly Noble Auto) in Durham, and I will be getting the complete history soon. Oil is changed every three months (I'll be changing it this weekend, in fact). Total mileage is 169k. It gets around 25mpg total.

The KBB fair value for this car is $1100. I'm asking $900 or best offer.

That is a 400 dollar car.

Then offer $400. I realize how crappy the car is. Maybe somebody's 15-16 year old kid/nephew/friend needs a beater to instill character.

no A/C and the front windows don't work? sounds like a great summer cruisin' car

I, too, lol'ed at the lack of A/C and working windows. That said, put up some pics, I may very well drop $400 on this as the worst summer ride ever.

I'm so used to not having A/C that I might only roll the windows down in the new car. Pics are now in my gallery. I've got an offer of $500 from a nurse at work who wants it for her 16-yr-old daughter.

Again, if you have an offer TAKE IT! You wont regret being rid of the damn thing, holding out will only make your life harder.
