I can totally understand that when you're selling a pristine vehicle in tip-top shape and you know your vehicle is better than the majority on the classifieds, but 32k for a salvage title AP1? Really? That's just being obtuse.

If you are posting a car for sale on kijiji always post it for much more than it is worth, the lowballers are everywhere , but you might just find the right buyer who will pay more. Knowing everyone will talk you down, there is nothing to lose. I've sold a few cars like that now.
This is the truth and onto of all this, every year they keep getting harder and harder to find as they all get stolen, destroyed or totaled and scrapped. Can anyone recommend someone to do a valve adjustment? The only catch is... the car isn't moveable and I cannot start it in its current state.

Anyone know where I can get an OEM car cover locally? Or any worthwhile alternatives?

I have all my tools at work and a massive box there too, but I needed something at home for my "home tools" and somewhere to store some of my junk. So my wife got me this 52" Huksy box as an early birthday gift and I ended up notching out the existing shelving and reframing some of it so I could slide the box into the shelving and have it be flush. I'm pretty happy with the result - I even added LED lighting under the shelf above to illuminate it all.
