Near the final episode of father in law getting a new Camry to replace his old Camry.
Currently our area pays you crush a car that fail smog, or a 20 year old car that didn't fail smog. For my FIL's income bracket he would get $1500.
So, if you have a 1997 Camry XLE V6 with 150k miles, that is in "good" exterior and interior condition (minor scratches and discoloration, leather is a bit stained from ink but not cracked or worn through, rattle can sprayed rear bumper), CEL on (comes and goes according to FIL) and some piston slap noise under the hood, functional mechanical other than warm start problem, maybe some minor oil leak under the hood), would you say it is worth trying to sell for more than $1500? I think BlueBook said private party sales is around $1500 but I think people in Toyota Nation is trying to sell something similar for $4000 (which I think is too high).
