Here is the plain truth about all this blah, blah, blah, low ball bs......... Whether your on Craigslist or Turbo Buick everyone is looking for a good deal but few can afford it. In the current state of our economy people with $$$$ will always try take advantage of someone else's misfortune. Only you know your financial situation. Any car with a "broken" crankshaft, which I'm sure wasn't done while it was idling, is not commanding top dollar! If you can afford to hold on to it I recommend you do so. Fix your grenaded engine and all these "low ball" offers will cease. I at least guarantee you won't be as insulted as you are now if someone does offer short money for your sweet collectible "running" ride! This bit of common sense is brought to you by a no nonsense used car dealer. Good luck ..........
