How do you sell a car?

What do you say? What don't you say? My car is a 1990 Nissan Sentra in fair condition (according to the Kelley Blue Book grading http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/kw.kc.ur?kbb.HI;911547;HI001&96720;cpe+p&722;Nissan;1990%20Sentra&15;NI;F1&&&) and worth $650, more or less... That's about right: it has one going-bad tire, the trunk latch needs some gentle attention to work correctly, the passenger door only opens from the inside, but it's legal, and has worked quite well until the timing began giving me problems and I opted to fix it the cheap way (mechanic diddled w/it) vs the expensive way (mechanic replaces the timing belt for $400.) But, on the other hand, it's legal and starts [/b]which is more than you apparently expect from cars marked "runs great" in the local paper So, what do I do now to sell it? I can't really afford to fix any of it, except maybe work w/the trunk latch... I've vacuumed it out... Do I write the copy for $1000 OBO," or more? Less? I always assume 60% is what a person actually expects to get for a car listed in the paper... Do I list it in the paper immediately? Or from Sunday? Or at all (just use bulliten boards?) My bf has offered to front me the money for another car, assuming it's a good deal, and inthemeantime, I am using my bike and his 2nd junker car... School is starting, lotsa collegiates buying clunkers and junkers... this car would probably sell now, so wwyd to get it sold? I was thinking about being honest, writing the ad something along the lines of, "1990 Nissan Sentra, stick, 153K, fair condition, $1,000." Is that enough information? Too much? Add "legal," in? Makes it sounds dubious? Begin the price at $1100? I had the transmission rebuilt about 8 months ago, the timing belt replaced (but by my xh who did it was no mechanic about 3 years ago.) The brakes are good, 3 tires are great, one has little dots on it from being out of alignment or something...
