Anyone want to buy an SVT Focus?

I really like my car a lot. It's fun to drive (if slightly underpowered) and has been absolutely reliable for the past 2.25 years and 22000 miles. But I'm 90% certain that my our life circumstances are about to change drastically, and what's left of the loan payment (while relatively small) is just not going to be appetizing any more.

Anyone want to buy a great daily driver/corner carver? I don't have recent photos, but you all know how I care for my cars. I don't have a replacement for it yet, but that's sort of in the works at the moment.

According to Edmunds, my particular model would sell private party for about $14,000 and trade-in for about $12,400. I would not ask the full private party sale price. I would, however, be curious as to what Carmax might offer.

Carmax generally does around Edmunds Average Condition. Maybe a bit higher if yours is as perfect as your other cars have been.

4-door hatchback. FWIW, a Britax Roundabout fits in the rear passenger seat without limiting front seat space all that much. LATCH anchors v. easy to reach.
