A 2 part question /help needed

My first thing is, I am new here.

Second, somehow the little window under the spoiler that says precidia got broken, and I was wondering what it's like to fix or replace.

Thirdly, I want to fix that little window, because I am selling the car. It has 183,000KM's on it, 1995 GS V6, auto start, 2 week old exhaust system, automatic, sunroof, 4 day old alternator and belts, 1 year old brakes, lady driven.

Do you think $3250 is too steep?

Lady driven? Now a days that doesnt mean much, I know a lot of bad lady drivers. Not to be insulting and to say that you are a bad driver. Most ladies drive faster than men, just my opinion.

I would check in the parts for sale list as I have seen some mx-3's being parted out, maybe you could get lucky and find someone who still has that little window to sell you and maybe give you some pointers on how to put it in your car. If reinstalling it is an issue I am sure it may be worth taking to a place like standard auto glass to do it for ya.

As for the price, to me it sounds high for a 12 yearold car but put it out there and see what offers you get for it and that will probably get you the value of it cause a car is only worth what someone else would pay for it. Good luck selling your car.

Mx3grlsikride, when brought her car in to get body word done (one time a few years ago), they accidentally broke it, so they actually replaced it with a piece of plastic, painted blue.

So apparently it's easilly replacable, but how, I dont know, read any how-to's about replacing it. I've never read anyone replacing it themselves, so I have no idea how it's done. Fortunately that's a piece available on all Mx3's, so you should even be able to go to a wreckers and get one, but they may be picky, since some places don't like to part critical pieces off the hatches.

Secondly, the best source for knowing what would car would be worth, rougly, is autotrader.ca.

I just did a seatch for all of Ontario for 94-96's. Comparing to GS's with similar features and milleage, 96's range from $2999-$3890. There's 2 1995, one going for $2990, the other is listed for $5000 with only $145k on it. 94's are listed between $2500-$3995.

If it's in good condition, $3250 is a fair price. Could always post it on autotrader, ask $3500, than drop it to $3250 if they try to bargin with you. But it will be essential that the lower hatch window goes get fixed. Needed repairs can really bring down the value of a car for sale. The less they need to fix, the more it's worth to the buyer, especially since you just got new belts and an exhaust too.

Lol, There'a guy selling a '96 4cyl with 768,600kms on it for $5500
