Sell or Scrap?

Recently, My 07 TLS had its radiator shit the bed (fixed) and now snapped the driver's CV axel. I feel as though, for me, it has run its course. I picked it up, 2nd owner in 2011 for 16k with 100k miles on the clock and its currently sitting motionless in front of my house with 288k.

Wednesday, I picked up a 09' Fit Sport w/110k miles and it's much better for my current situation as I only drive 4-6k miles a year and the TL was killing me on city gas/MPGs.

What would you do with the TLS? Junk/scrap it and be done with it or try and sell it on FB Marketplace as a mechanics special. Not including the major CV issues, it needs some work and I wouldn't say it's worth more than $900-$1000, but if I've learned anything it's tough finding decent beaters right now in my area that run.

Sell it, its still worth a pretty penny despite the minor issues.

It's a Moroccan red pearl. I'm probably going to post it up on FB marketplace tomorrow for 1 or 1.5k and see who bites. My wife is nagging me already to get it out from in front of the house. I have a feeling the lower I post the more non-sense I'll have to deal with on FB marketplace.

and whats your point? We're talking about the price of the car here...You sound like you're willing to pay 10k for the car, you might want to private message OP instead of going back and forth w/ me like a 14 year old

It has plenty of other stuff wrong with it, I just haven't listed it. Didn't plan on selling it through a car forum with national reach. Is that explanation good enough for your meme?

Edit 30 seconds later: I straight up named this thread "sell or scrap" what part of that is "sus"

I would part it out , the wheels alone you can score 1k for. its got the big brake kit, and some other things seem to be in nice condition, you could easily part out for 3-4k

Good question. Looks like it is time to post this in the Marketplace. I will delete this thread soon.

Honestly, you can probably just lock it. It wasn't meant to turn into a for sale thread. It's being hijacked now too.

I agree. I deleted the hijack post and banned the poster, since he registered solely to sell the car, which is against forum rules. And now closing the thread.
