new car

[masque12]

At some point within the next 2 weeks (depending on when my loan money gets deposited) I will be the owner of a black 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid. Anyone want to buy a used red 2000 Nissan Frontier cheap? It needs some body work, and has an intermittent A/C problem, but still runs just fine, engine wise.

There's a few minor dents here and there, with a rather large one on the left side. The only structural body work problem is that I was rear ended years ago, and while visually it only bent the bumper down slightly, it was enough that I can't get the rod to go in the hole that allows me to crank the spare back up into the proper position. So the spare sits in the bed, with a bit of rust on it. There is a black vinyl bedcover, I just don't have it in place at the moment, as it doesn't allow lowering of the tailgate, and I've been hauling stuff around.

The A/C doesn't control the power steering, it just cuts out or doesn't start up sometimes when it's hot out, which sucks here in Houston.

Aside from those things, the only problem is that there is a rip in the driver's seat upholstery, and the ceiling upholstery is falling down a bit.

It is a 4 cylinder King Cab (2 drop down jump seats behind the driver's and passenger seats, and the Blue Book on it is $2500 in fair condition. For someone willing to take it off my hands quickly (as soon as I get the new car), I'd probably start my asking price at $2000, and then see what I could get haggled down to. I'm planning on getting it appraised at CarMax Friday to see how much they'll give me for a trade in, but I don't expect much, and if someone else wants to take it off my hands, I'd be happy to sell it.
