General comments?

This has been an outstanding car. I bought it 10 years ago with 80,000 miles for $5000.

I drove it for 3 years before giving it to my daughter to learn to drive with. We then gave it to my oldest second daughter to learn to drive. We then gave it to my youngest daughter to learn to drive. My wife now drives it.

It has been through heck and back with 3 new drivers, but still runs great. Trying to decide if I should keep it and fix it up, or sell it. Engine is still strong, as is the tranny.

Keep it simply for what it is. Why would you want to sell it?
