Hey y’all! I have a 2017 Renegade I’m unfortunately looking to sell or trade in. Only problem is I do have an accident history and the car is slowly dying.

Almost a year ago now after I noticed the car would give me kickback at random, I started getting a code for a first engine coil misfire. Now it’s 2 coils misfiring. My car guy said it was likely a cracked head gasket or the intake manifold gasket. Given the cars history he told me trying to fix either gasket would cost more than the car is currently worth. It goes through coolant like nobody’s business, I have to refill the reservoir at least once a day. We’ve replaced all the coils and spark plugs within the last 6 months but there’s now a plug that refuses to come out. The only thing it’s got going for it right now is that it’s got 4 new tires that keep spinning despite all these issues. I’m very lucky it’s gotten me as far as it has and I’ll be even luckier if it gets me through the summer. I can’t tell you how much I regret not taking better care of it in my teenage years/early adulthood. I love this car and I’m so sad to see her go.

My family’s suggested trying to sell it on Facebook marketplace and taking whatever money I get to a dealership for another car (I also don’t plan on financing with a dealer, I’d be taking out a personal or car loan with another bank to buy out the next car I get.) But I truthfully don’t think anyone outside of maybe a collector would want the car once they see how it rides, the codes it’s giving and the work that needs to be done to it. I’m not opposed to trading it in to a dealership but I worry they’re gonna severely low ball me on trade in value because of how desperate I am for a new car. The only other option would be to take it to a scrap yard and get straight cash but that’s my last resort at this point. In a perfect world I’d like to get at least $5k for the car but I know that’s very optimistic.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, even if it’s criticism. This is all happening as I’m newly engaged and about to go back to grad school so it’s been a bit overwhelming to try and figure all this out at once. As much as I would love another Renegade, my plan as of right now is to get an older Honda CRV that I can ride for as long as it’ll let me. Thanks y’all

Really wanted the white or alien T-shirt but missed it by a few folks in front of me. Willing to trade for the black shirt or buy for the right price.

Just saw the foo fighters there last night and saw they do private events and weddings. I already reached out to them directly but I’m curious if anyone has any first hand experience.

Some of the most genuine folks I’ve interacted with. I knew Foo crowds carried a good energy but man once the sun came up there were good vibes across the board. Reminded me of the crowd at Oasis over the summer. Venue opened up indoor bathrooms and had a coffee, pizza and bagels for anyone that wanted to buy. Folks a little older than me talking about all the amazing shows they’ve been to, bands I’ll never have the pleasure of seeing. Dudes shooting the shit about wrestling while smoking a joint, folks working on their laptops on line, sharing everyone’s story to their boss for why they weren’t making it in today. Well worth the 8 hour wait, just had to share.
