Even the cleanest, most rust-free non-runner is going to be hard pressed to bring more than half your asking price. Just for reference, there's a very clean, well-maintained 1.7 for sale about 100 miles from me, also for $8K.

I'd recommend getting it running. Unless there's some serious issue, you'll spend less doing that than the amount you'd lose off your asking price to sell a non-runner.

1 picture is NOT going to move that car @ 8k. Period. Ocean park ( on the long beach penisula. A long stones throw from the Pacific Ocean) will not be a friendly environment.

right. and those 13 or so pictures show little other than what appears to be a nice dash and a car in need of some help.

those "rules" don't mean squat these days and I certainly don't need to be reminded of them either. in no way did I state the car wasn't worth what the seller thinks it is.
