KBB is so far off it's not even funny, best thing is to see what they've been selling for on eBay. Still, that's too much. You'd be better off buying one with twice the mileage for a third of the price. Either way they'll burn oil and 5K could get you a much better car if you're willing to do a swap yourself.

Thanks to you, I've learned even more. I hadn't thought of looking for cars on eBay, didn't know KBB gave high valuations, and must admit you've provoked an "as yet unrealized" truth that must be lurking deep within myself, as much as I resist, I feel I am getting closer and closer to the central vortex of this website --- a desire to R&R an engine.
