Vehicle Description
So here is the story on this car. My wife got the car when she was seventeen(5 years ago) and the car ran great. It had decently low mileage (70,000 and it was roughly 4 years old). Then about a year ago we started having problems with it. The first thing we replaced was the alternator. The car ran great for a little while, and then the next problem came. We had to replace the alternator wiring( I have work order receipt). The car ran great for a long time after that, and then the next problem. The car was acting very odd. Sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn't. I replaced the spark plugs, the ground wire for the battery, and even the battery itself. The car continued to have the same problems. I took it to a CarX (don't ever take your car there it is a major ripoff) and they did 600$ worth of work, but did me absolutely no good as I continued to have the same problems. At this point I thought maybe the fuel pump, but before I delved into this project I calld Ford to find out there was a recall on the "fuel system delivery module"( I have work order receipt). I had it towed in, they replaced the part, I picked up the car and drove it to the closest gas station because it was on E. The car wouldn't start back up after I filled it up. I then took the car to another mechanic who changed my thermostat and said he "winterized" the car. He was absolutely worthless as the car didn't even make it home( which is only a 30 minute drive). I had it towed back to him, and he proceeded to tell me the car needed a new engine and that he would give me 300$ for the car. The guy in my opinion is a TOTAL SCAM ARTIST, but at that point I had spent a 1000$ or more trying to fix the car. I tried to jump the car recently, but it wouldn't jump. I only tried that one time to jump it after it had been sitting for close to three months. The exterior and interior are in absolutely great condition. There a two small dents in the passenger door (see pictures), a scrape on the bumper(see pictures), and the driver side rear tire is flat(spare is on there now), and the last mechanic I took it to broke the driver side mirror off. I have opted to try and sell the car to make what money I can back to help pay the credit car bills for the money I spent trying to fix it. I firmly believe that the car doesn't need a new engine, but I don't have the money or the time to invest in trying to figure out what is wrong or to get it fixed. The car blue books at around 5000$. The car is just in need of the right buyer to figure out what is wrong and fix or, or replace the engine. Included with the car will be jumper cables, an extra battery (i am unsure as to whether or not it works), spare tire, cd player (needs wiring harness and other wiring items), and a four way.

Added Info: I have extra pictures beyond what are posted. The ones posted are the most important, but the max was 24 pictures. I think I have about 10-12 more. Added Info: There was a battery sitting in the front seat and it leaked some juice onto the seat making a stain. I haven't attempted to get the stain out, but imagine that it would be rather easy to remove, I am not 100% sure though.
