And the Answer Is . . .

The correct answer for the asking price on the Nova is (drumroll, please) $1650! Seems incredible, but, even more incredibly, the Kelly Blue Book value is $1890. (I couldn't get a price out of NADA.) This is the same car Mom couldn't sell for $200 and Rob was ready to drive to the junkyard. In fairness I'd note that the dealer has tuned the car up (which it badly needed), replaced the muffler, replaced the sagging roof cloth (which Dad had stapled up on more than one occasion with not great results), and generally cleaned it up. We'll never know what the dealer actually gets for it, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't crack $1,000.

I think by Price Is Right rules (and Mark I'd defer to your expertise here) that the winner is the person who came closest to the actual value with exceeding it. In that case Mark and W. Max, having both selected C, are co-winners. You're supposed to start jumping up and own, waving your arms, and screaming at this point.

Anybody got a tie-breaker? The E-Bay value of the old cell phone that Phillip rescued from the glove compartment?

Since I changed my answer, I feel that I have a dishonorable win.
I will carry out the ritual of Seppuku and secede my win to Mark.
