Didn't you buy this car fairly recently? Why are you selling so soon?

Unless it's trashed or needs a bunch of work, $5K would be giving it away... Sure, the auto isn't as desirable, but your mileage is decent and if it's been well-maintained you should be able to get significantly more than five grand...

Post some pics, tell us some more about its history and we can give you a better idea of what it's worth...

Around here you typically dont see any non salvaged titled, non beat to the ground m3's for less than 6-7.5k Oh, and I really hope you didn't pay someone $600 for new RSM's. If so, you got stroked.
