We have a secondary car that is in the shop again. Just found out the motor ceased....while sitting in our driveway!! Gr. We're waiting for a quote but it's really just to buy us more time. We're thinking it's going to be upwards of 1K-3K to fix it which is not worth it to us. The car is a '03 Ford Explorer.

Trying to figure out if it's a better idea to sell it as is on Craigslist or ask the mechanic if he knows of a place that will buy it as is or sell it for parts?

Like I said, it's a '03 Ford Explorer, there are new tires that barely have 10K miles on them. The car itself has ~ 100K miles, I think? A new starter that we just paid ~$300 for!

Anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do?
