I decided that I would rather have a nicer daily driver than a 50 year old car that I drive once a week so the Duster must go. It's currently at a consignment dealer in Charlotte NC but I can get the car back in mid February and sell it myself. The dealer is asking $52k for the car. I've got over $65k invested in the car but I'm willing to let it go for $39,800. I'm located in Raleigh NC.
