	Marc,
	
	This is just my opinion.
	
	I think you are not being persistent about advertising it in the right forums, and there
	are a few things that need fixin' that will get you close to your price once they are -
	if it is a fair price, then it should have sold a long time ago.  I have sold a few cars
	and the difference between a "few things that don't work" or  "minor problem" and
	"everything works" is drastic.  I have a problem selling things for far less than they
	are worth if there is the slightest mechanical problem, but if everything works fine
	usually I get a fair price.  You probably don't have the time to fix these seemingly
	easy to fix items, but then no one else does either.
	
	I have a boat that needs a repair that will cost me about $500 in parts and a day labor
	- this is just after putting in about $1000 worth of exhaust manifolds and parts and
	$600 labor.  Without the repair, I'd need to pay to have it towed away and would many
	charities would turn me down if I try to donate it.  With the repair done, I should get
	$6K, and am sure I'll at least get half that if I'm desperate and sell it in the fall.
	Maybe boat is a bad example, but hope you get the idea.
	
	Ben
	p.s. I'd recommend selling the AAN separately - you'll get a good $2k for it.  Sell the
	car as a good running stock example of an UrQ.  The car should stand on its own as a
	running vehicle, and the extra engine implies there is a problem with the car.

	For what it's worth, I haven't gotten any offers remotely close to my asking price of
	$15.5 for my '85 plus some spare parts.
