I've been trying to sell my old car on Craigslist. It's been weird. It's a crappy old v6 firebird. Blue book value is ~1300, I have it listed at $1100, CarMax apprised it at $200, and the junkyard will buy a firebird that old for $250, running or not.

I've been getting 2 kinds of responses: $600 lowball offers, and "can you drive 60 miles in the middle of the workday to my house in podunkville? You'll like my lowball offer better after eating a half-day of vacation time."

Also nobody interested in cheap 17 year old cars can spell worth a damn.
