Hey guys it has been a long ass time since I have posted. I actually had to really think what my log in/password was. Things have been crazy here in Quincy, getting married in April and the old legacy is on it's way out for me I think. I am waiting on hearing from an interview I had with Roger Williams Zoo in Providence that pays very well (19+ an hour) and if that happens I plan on buying a newer car sometime soon. My main question is my 93 Legacy L has some issues and I am attempting to figure out what is the best way to unload it. Trading it in is out of the question (I may get 100-200 bucks for it), I could donate it but I am not sure if I would get enough for a good tax write off. Selling it I'm not sure what it's worth, here's the specs.

93 Legacy L (Blue), 170K+, AT, sony xplod cd it runs and drives quite well but it has a few problem areas. Needs Front Valve cover gaskets (leaks some oil), struts are crappy(fine in 3 seasons, bangs in really cold weather), alignment, new tires, has rust in usual places, shifter gets stuck sometimes (have to use shift lock not a huge deal), front cv,

I have replaced front pads, rear pads/rotors, had some exhaust work done, front wheel bearings and a few other odds/ends that I need to go through my receipts to put on here. New rebuilt alternator, new battery

So I figured this would be the best place to figure out what would be a good selling point. Thanks for your help guys

Have you called about the deduction? Cocksucker MA doesn't allow charitable donations, but the Fed does. My accountant told me even $50 made a difference with me (though I'm a contractor, so I have a ton of write-offs). You might want to contact someone to find out. Otherwise, unless it looks terrible, I'd bet you could put it on craigslist for $600 and it would be gone pretty quick. You might even be able to go for $700, but that's getting up there psychologically to the bottom trollers.

It would have to go above 200 for it to be worth it for me. It should be worth something. But I will call some places and see what they think. Thanks man.
