So I have a 2001 Nissan Altima GXE with 64000km on it that I got from my grandmother 7-8 years ago and it has been the best car I have ever owned. During those 7-8 years of owning it I have only had to do tires, brakes, oil, and battery which is completely amazing. I was really hoping that I would have this car for another 4-6 years and by that time electric would have progressed further and I would buy into it then. Unfortunately I was rear-ended about two months ago and my rear crumple zones got 15~20% compromised and even though I got my insurance company to pay out more than it would cost to fix it they said that they are unwilling to get it fixed no matter what which is a real bummer. Since it has been hit I have been driving it with absolutely no problems (got a free balance and rotation at Costco for the ride home from Victoria where I got hit to Calgary) and it drove just like it always had and continues to do so.
My issue is that once I take the write-off buyout the car will be switched to salvage and I need to either part it out or sell it as a whole before the end of August when I have to return to Victoria for the final year of my masters program. I was wondering if you beyond.ca members have any advice for how I should go about doing this in order to maximise the chances of getting some return on the car as I get to keep it for free and also to get it gone in less than a month. I have put up ads on kijiji, autotrader, and here although I feel like I need some advice from people who know what they are talking about.
My ad on beyond.ca is here, my ad on kijiji is here, and my ad on auto trader is here (not up yet will revise when it gets posted).
Is there anything you would do differently? Am I asking too much? To little? I saw a 2001 Altima engine with 120000km on it for $3000 on kijiji so I just sort of based my price off of that thinking a good price for a quick sale. Should I shop this ultra low KM engine to someone or somewhere? I feel like most of the car is in excellent condition and I just don't know how to go about dealing with it. Any advice would be extremely helpful.
Here is an album of the vehicle for reference.
Thanks a ton to anyone who answers.
