Are you advertising everywhere that you can for little or no money? Every SCCA and PCA Region has a newsletter with a classified section. Try taking the car to a local auto-x or track event with large "For Sale" signs on it. Many local "trading post"-type newspapers offer free classifieds. Autotrader.com is a biggie. Gotta work it! Good luck.

I'm thinking 2300 ish, real-world street price.
Cars are a horrible investment, that's for sure. I had a VW Corrado that I paid $5800 for. Over the course of 3 years, I spent roughly $15,000 on her...encompassing 2 engine rebuilds, a crapload of engine work on the last engine making nearly 300hp, full suspension, brakes, and some carbon/kevlar parts.
I sold the car for 6,900. It's currently for sale in Minnesota, and the seller can't get 6,500 for it.

The problem is you paid less than 1k for a car and now want to sell it for 3500 but it looks EXACTLY THE SAME. (on the outside) Most of the public would buy a shiney car with a dirty as heck engine before the other way around. Sad. I sold my wifes Neon and the guy never opened the hood! He did not even want the 6 years of Recipts and work log for the car! I had to explain why it was good to have those.

I have to agree with everyone else here. Unfortunately, a nice paint job is much more likely to woo those who haven't done thier 944 homework than are receipts for work done. Appearance is important....

Yeah, this was a learning experiene for me. This was the second car I ever bought, and I wanted it to be a project, and I guess I thought since 944s usually sell for $3500 in good condition, that I could fix mine up to good condition and sell it someday. I equated good cosmetic condition (which sells) with good mechanical condition (which apparently doesn't).
Wow, this really stinks. I have it on craigslist, but I'll toss it up onto autotrader, the classifieds on a few forums, and maybe ebay. I'd have the fender and mirrors painted, but I'm worried they'd stand out from the rest of the car.
I'll let you know in 1 day 22 hours and 45 minutes if I want those KYB inserts.
