$13,500.

I purchased this car in October 2007. I have always kept it well-maintained, and have full service records for the time I have owned it. I have always changed the oil, adjusted the timing, and performed proper service on schedule.
August of 2015 I had the exterior completely redone at a highly reputable body shop in Grinnell, Iowa. New windshield at that time also. Won a Top Award in the 2015 Grinnell, Iowa car show.
In July of 2012, with 248,000 miles on the vehicle, I had a new short block engine installed. This means the engine in it now has only 41,000 miles on it.
I have new seat pads and upholstery for the drivers seat - this is not not yet installed. I would estimate that 95% of the time I drove this car, I was alone. Therefore the other seats are in excellent condition.
November 2016: I replaced all four brake rotors and bled the brake lines. The pads and brake lines were still in very good condition.
I am moving to Arizona and do not have space for the car there. I really hate to see it go, as anyone who knows me knows that this car has been my pride and joy.
It is an excellent investment - my Mercedes mechanic called it the best he has seen.

I just had the driver’s seat reupholstered and new seat pads installed – it is very comfortable. I would estimate that 95% of the time I drove this car, I was alone. Therefore the other seats are in excellent condition.

Here is a cold start after two weeks sitting:
