So unfortunately the car has a big (wide) scratch above one of the rear
wheels that's started to rust. Other than a few minor dings thats the
only major exterior blemish. The interior is perfect, just got new
breaks, relatively new tires, the battery was replaced a couple years
ago, the tires are probably at the midpoint of their useful lifespan,
the enigne runs great, it's painful to hear the car is only worth $500
in a trade in.

Thanks, I could use some automotive good luck, I've had some bad luck
with this car after I hit about 90k miles... I've been religious about
the maintenance, but I still got screwed multiple times. I've posted a
few of my trials and tribulations to these news groups in the past.
